    September 3, 18:00. Venue: Jimmy Yamazaki's stream at twitch.tv/yamazakij

    Speaker: Jimmy Yamazaki

    About the talk: We will examine the paper and its mechanisms in detail, try to understand how and why attention works, dive deep into transformer architecture, write code, and even train models on small datasets. You can ask questions throughout the talk, and the speaker will be happy to answer them.

    Verigram receives NIST's top rating for 1:N identification

    Fresh news8 Aug 2023
    Verigram receives NIST's top rating for 1:N identification

    Verigram's algorithm received NIST's highest rating in the 1:N Identification category, which matches one face against many. The algorithm can instantly find facial matches in databases containing millions of records.

    Verigram's solution was evaluated on a database of 12 million photographs.

    NIST, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, is an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce responsible for developing and maintaining standards across a broad range of technology fields. The NIST Face Recognition Vendor Test (FRVT) is considered the most authoritative benchmark for recognition algorithms.

    GOAT AI releases a state-of-the-art open-source model

    Fresh news25 Jul 2023

    Last night, we released our first LLaMA-2 fine-tune, which achieved state-of-the-art results on the MMLU and BigBench Hard benchmarks. The model is open source and can be downloaded—and liked—directly from Hugging Face at the link below.

    Link

    This is an open version of an AI assistant similar to ChatGPT. It can be fine-tuned or run locally for research purposes. A demo is also available at the following link.

    A few important details:

    • Context length: 4096
    • Model size: 7B parameters
    • Dataset size: 72,000 dialogues

    What makes our work unique? We focused on careful data cleaning, an essential part of a scientific approach to data analysis. Rather than cleaning the data in a single pass, we kept improving the process iteratively.

    One key step toward better results was removing standard responses from larger AI models, such as “Sorry, as an AI assistant I cannot...”, from the dataset. After that, our model achieved the best results among all available 7-billion-parameter models.

    The development team includes members of DSML KZ:

    • Yerzat Dulat @rlprompt
    • Aibek Bekbayev @qaszjo
    • Sungbae Chun @Sungbae_Chun
    • Jimmy Yamazaki @myxik

    More technical details are available in the blog post about the model's release.

    Arbuz.kz launches the AI-powered Arbuz Chef

    Fresh news17 Jul 2023
    Arbuz.kz launches the AI-powered Arbuz Chef

    Arbuz.kz has launched Arbuz Chef, a ChatGPT-based bot that recommends dishes and recipes. Each recipe comes with a set of products that can be added to the cart. For now, the feature is available through the Friends loyalty program on iOS and the web.

    Project initiator Alibek Utyubayev, Analytics Lead at Arbuz.kz, shared these insights:

    • The push that dispelled doubts about creating Arbuz Chef came from Mr. Aimoldin: “Our competitors in the UAE got ahead of us and launched a recipe bot—why don't you become the first to do it in Kazakhstan?”
    • Technically, it is a wrapper around the OpenAI API. From a business perspective, it is a way to launch in weeks a product that would otherwise have taken months and dedicated ML teams to build.
    • The team started with a prompt for similar assistants that had leaked on Twitter and adapted it to their needs.
    • Examples are useful when you want ChatGPT to follow specific formatting instructions more reliably. Do not just describe the output—provide an example of the required format.
    • We took care of analytics from the start: we store user requests, added events for products being placed in the cart, and more.
    • We hope the bot helps users answer “What should I cook today?” while considering individual needs that cannot be encoded with if-else logic—for example, a light meal on a hot day or an interesting menu spanning different world cuisines. In essence, this is not just a chatbot, but a new way to interact with Arbuz.kz's wide assortment.
