Use cases for encoder LLMs (classification) & decoder LLMs (chatbots) are obvious. Seq2seq tasks like translation, where it makes sense to have access to the whole input, is where it gets interesting.
Re encoder-decoder LLMs (eg T5): Is there still a benefit of using an encoder?

AI Watermarking Labels Indigenous Rights FPIC Regulation
By

I’m wondering if you feel your amazing Labels could be used for the “watermarking” we all know will not utilize sovereign indigenous or FPIC to “regulate” AI / LLMs? Your labels are so specific, impactful & inspirational & should be the model for labeling writ large for AI.

Emergent Abilities in LLMs: Responding to LeCun’s Critique
By
–
Yann LeCun is obviously a legend but I found this tweet to be quite misinformed. The whole point of "emergent abilities" such as few-shot prompting and chain-of-thought prompting, is that we clearly *did not* explicitly train or fine-tune them into the model. These abilities
