A sociologist highlights the ethical implications of machine learning in healthcare, criticizing United Healthcare’s use of AI to prematurely discharge patients, focused on cost savings rather than patient care. The AI model, influenced by economic incentives, risks life and quality of life, leading to unethical healthcare decisions and potential malpractice by ignoring doctors’ expertise.

Instead of fully retraining large language models (LLMs) for different tasks, LoRA adapters can be fine-tuned, allowing cost-effective task-specific adaptations. A novel approach described in the article enables combining multiple LoRA adapters to create a versatile adapter for multitasking, such as both chatting and translating, using a single LLM with a simple process of weighted…

This article provides data engineering interview preparation tips, covering common questions and answers. It highlights the importance of research, familiarity with data platform architecture types, coding skills, demonstrating confidence with DE tools, and knowledge of ETL. Scenario-based questions are typical, and demonstrating clear, methodical thinking is key.

EPFL and Apple researchers developed PaSS, a method enhancing language model efficiency by generating multiple tokens in parallel using one model. The approach speeds up generation by up to 30%, maintains model quality, and optimizes token predictability. Future work aims to refine this method with look-ahead tokens.

Mira Murati is appointed CTO, while Greg Brockman reassumes the position of President. CEO Sam Altman and board chair Bret Taylor have released messages regarding these changes.

Researchers at UCSF compare human auditory processing with Deep Neural Networks (DNNs), revealing DNNs closely mimic brain responses to speech. They focus on cross-linguistic analyses, discovering that unsupervised learning in DNNs captures language-specific patterns. These findings outperform traditional models, offering insights into both neuroscientific processes and AI interpretability.
