NVLM Paper Reveals Dataset Quality Matters More Than Scale
By
–
The NVLM paper is outstanding. It is full of remarkable findings: (1) "dataset quality and task diversity are more important than scale", (2) positive transfer from multimodal datasets to text-only on math benchmarks, (3) model and data ablations, etc. Congrats to the authors on

Pragmatism over idealism: building realistic AI systems
By

"hypothetical 'perfect world' with no bad/predatory actors" – I am not trying to imagine something that is not realistic. Quite the contrary. I am always interested only in something that is pragmatic and can survive in REAL life. However, this thread is just a though

Understanding Attention: K and V matrices, masking, and -inf for softmax
By
–
This is a must-watch to understand how attention works! Great visualization, explaining:
– Why the K and V matrix, what do they represent?
– Why mask the lower left part of the KV product?
– Why apply -inf to the lower left part of the KV product before softmax rather than just
