The answer? Leverage the knowledge built into VLMs (benefit from zero-shot and few-shot capabilities), use common off-the-shelf models and methods like fine-tuning and parameter-efficient tuning, and tap into multi-task capabilities

appliedmldays.bsky.social @appliedmldays.bsky.social · 14/02/2025

He then explores the shift from handwriting recognition to stroke interactions. While handwriting recognition is well-established, large models are driving a technological transformation. So how can we integrate handwriting, digital ink understanding & freeform capabilities into these models?

appliedmldays.bsky.social @appliedmldays.bsky.social · 14/02/2025

Claudiu Musat, researcher at Google DeepMind Switzerland, introduces strokes as a new modality for VLMs. Strokes enhance online expression and offer robustness against visual distractions. 🖌️

When should you use context caching? ✅ Chatbots with extensive system instructions ✅ Repetitive analysis of lengthy video files ✅ Recurring queries over large document sets ✅ Frequent code repository analysis & bug fixing

020

appliedmldays.bsky.social @appliedmldays.bsky.social · 14/02/2025

Corpus-in-Context can be slow and potentially costly due to its quadratic complexity. This is where context caching comes to the rescue! When the corpus doesn't change much, computations can be performed once and reused multiple times. This significantly boosts speed and reduces costs. ⚡️

appliedmldays.bsky.social @appliedmldays.bsky.social · 14/02/2025

Now it's time to explore how to prototype LLM applications! The key principle: start simple and avoid over-engineering. Surprisingly, putting everything into context from the start works incredibly well. One of the strengths of Long Context LLMs is their ability to enable quick prototyping. But...

appliedmldays.bsky.social @appliedmldays.bsky.social · 14/02/2025

First, Max Buckley introduced the workshop and provided a quick refresher on key LLM concepts, such as tokenization, context windows, prefill or fine tuning. With the basics covered, the group is now ready to dive deep into the details and engage in hands-on practical activities.

appliedmldays.bsky.social @appliedmldays.bsky.social · 14/02/2025

💫 Let's join Google engineers for "Building LLM Applications using Google Gemini", a hands-on workshop on long context, context caching, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)! Participants will learn how to prototype & productionize LLM apps effectively! 💻💡

142

appliedmldays.bsky.social @appliedmldays.bsky.social · 14/02/2025

For generating responses, we introduced chain-of-thought techniques like zero-shot prompting and in-context learning, which use new data during inference to improve output quality without retraining.

020

appliedmldays.bsky.social @appliedmldays.bsky.social · 14/02/2025

We highlighted efficient information retrieval for RAG systems, ensuring that relevant data is found for queries. Semantic search is vital for text embeddings and comparisons, while vector databases use kNN for quick retrieval and traditional filtering.🧑‍💻📝

appliedmldays.bsky.social @appliedmldays.bsky.social · 14/02/2025

Welcome to this last day of AMLD! ✨ We kick off with a Thomson Reuters workshop on how to apply generative AI in production with confidence📝🤖

(4) Data has a shelf life! It quickly loses value as conditions and economic landscapes evolve. AI can detect trends and regime shifts, helping to identify changes in data collection and measurement.

020

appliedmldays.bsky.social @appliedmldays.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

(3) More data isn't always better. Algorithms need diverse data points to learn effectively. New data is valuable when it fills gaps in scarce areas. AI can identify regions of the data domain where data is scarce.

120

appliedmldays.bsky.social @appliedmldays.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

(2) Bias can't be removed, but it can be understood. Characteristics like gender, age, and education shape our biases. AI helps identify new, previously not addressed biases.

120

appliedmldays.bsky.social @appliedmldays.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

(1) Data is not the new oil! It's not fungible and its value depends on how you use it. Different use-cases require different data quality standards. By automating DQ, AI allows the enforcement of data requirement specific to each use-case at scale.

120

appliedmldays.bsky.social @appliedmldays.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

He exposes then why DQ is often done wrong through 4 common misconceptions.
