Welcome to the Quarterly Cup Tournament! Join us and make quick predictions on topical questions. Each week, a few new questions will be available to forecast on. All questions will resolve by the end of the quarter and at least one will resolve every week....
techniques to speed up inference of LLMs to increase token generation speed and reduce memory consumption: Mixed-Precision, Bfloat16, Quantization, Fine-tuning with Adapters, Pruning, Continuous Batching and Multiple GPUs.
About how our skills are deprecated and then we get laidoff, role eliminated or whatever. I myself have a list of tools and skills that are already deprecated. The only useful thing left is riding a bike.
The Segment Anything Model (SAM) has established itself as a powerful zero-shot image segmentation model, employing interactive prompts such as points to generate masks. This paper presents SAM-PT, a method extending SAM’s capability to tracking and segmenting anything in dynamic videos. SAM-PT leverages robust and sparse...
