Small Language Models and Cognitively-Inspired AI @cambridgenlp, @CaiusCollege.
Thanks again to Catherine Arnett (@linguist_cat) and Tyler Chang (@tylerachang ) for delivering a fascinating @cambridgenlp seminar on Friday about their work on bilingual and multilingual language modelling!
@tylerachang and I are giving a talk later today at @cambridgenlp about the curse of multilinguality and training small models. The talk is open to the public and the link is below!
Find out more about PicoLM, a tool enabling researchers to study Language Model behaviours, in a new video bit.ly/4cbG72y PicoLM has been developed by Richard Diehl Martinez, Ryan Daniels, Yuval Weiss, David Demitri Africa, Paula Buttery & Suchir Salhan @Cambridge_Uni
Introducing Pico: a lightweight framework for language model learning dynamics
Pico lets you apply the scientific method to language model development: You can quickly setup a small language model, train it, evaluate its learning dynamics and iterate.
Introducing PicoLM 🚀 picolm.io 📸 youtu.be/llRUKwqMah4?si… Pico demystifies how language models learn. It's your go-to toolkit for training and analyzing models across different scales. Very excited to be a part of the @cambridgenlp PICO team with @richarddm1!
This Saturday at 7:30, The Bateman Auditorium at Gonville & Caius College, University ofCambridge. Free entry.
