An empirical analysis of compute-optimal large language model training
An empirical analysis of compute-optimal large language model training
An empirical analysis of compute-optimal large language model training
An empirical analysis on finding optimal model size and training tokens for a given compute budget reveals that current large language models are too large for their compute budget and lack sufficient training data.
Discovering the systematic errors made by machine learning models
Discovering systematic errors with cross-modal embeddings - This blog post introduces Domino, a new approach for discovering systematic errors made by machine learning models. It discusses a framework for quantitatively evaluating methods like Domino and explores the task of slice discovery in machine learning models.
