We’ve noticed an unusual training pattern in fine-tuning LLMs. At first we thought it’s a bug, but now we think it shows LLMs can learn effectively from a single example.| fast.ai
We’ve released our new course with over 30 hours of video content.| www.fast.ai
Language is a source of limitation and liberation. GPT 4 pushes this idea to the extreme by giving us access to unlimited language.| www.fast.ai

Notes taken whilst preparing a paper on mask efficacy from Nov to Jan 2022. My previous paper on this was written in April 2020 and published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science| fast.ai
Following the thread of any seemingly quantitative issue in AI ethics (such as determining if software to rate loan applicants is racially biased or evaluating YouTube’s recommendation system) quickly leads to a host of qualitative questions. Unfortunately, there is often a large divide between computer scientists and social scientists, with over-simplified assumptions and fundamental misunderstandings of one another.| fast.ai
In the west, our ideas of harm are largely anchored to an individual being harmed by a particular action at a discrete moment in time. Yet the harms caused by algorithmic systems are often collective and communal.| fast.ai
Many cultural factors, misconceptions, stereotypes, and obstacles turn people off to math.| fast.ai
While data for social good projects can be useful, there are also pitfalls to avoid.| fast.ai
Things can go disastrously wrong on data science and machine learning projects when we undervalue data work, use data in contexts that it wasn’t gathered for, or ignore the crucial role that humans play in the data science pipeline.| fast.ai
