This paper presents a novel self-attention mechanism, easy attention, which can improve the robustness of transformer neural networks used for temporal-dynamics prediction of chaotic systems. By utilizing singular-value decomposition (SVD) on the softmax attention score, the proposed method reduces complexity and increases robustness compared to self-attention and LSTM networks. This could have a lasting impact in academic research, providing a powerful tool for reconstructing and predicting complex high-dimensional dynamical systems.

It has the potential to create a lasting impact in academic research, with improved scores on code benchmarks and a permissive license for both research and commercial use.
DLIP presents a framework for distilling a light VLP model, providing potential for lasting impact in academic research. Experiments show DLIP can compress a model by 1.9x while achieving comparable or better performance, and retain more than 95% of the performance with 22.4% parameters and 24.8% FLOPs.
SCoRD proposes a challenging benchmark to detect $\langle$subject, relation, object$\rangle$ triplets with a distribution shift in the Open Images dataset. Leveraging relation-object pairs from textual captions, SCoRD achieves improved generalization for both relation-object and object-box predictions, with potential to create a lasting impact in academic research.
This paper presents a novel prompting approach, Models-Vote Prompting (MVP), for improving the performance of Large Language Models (LLMs) in Few-Shot Learning (FSL) tasks, such as rare disease identification and classification. MVP works by prompting numerous LLMs to perform the same tasks and then conducting a majority vote on the resulting outputs. This method has the potential to create a lasting impact in academic research by providing improved results to any one model in the ensemble on one-shot rare disease identification and classification tasks, as well as a novel rare disease dataset for FSL.
This paper presents a novel unsupervised fine-tuning approach, UEO, for vision-language models such as CLIP. UEO leverages sample-level confidence to optimize the textual prompts and channel-wise affine transformations within the visual branch of CLIP. Experiments across 15 domains demonstrate UEO's potential to create a lasting impact in academic research by improving generalization and out-of-distribution detection.
This paper presents POLCA, a framework for power oversubscription in LLM cloud providers. It offers the potential to improve power efficiency, reduce deployment time, and increase the number of deployable servers per datacenter. Through extensive characterization of LLM power consumption patterns, the authors demonstrate that inference workloads offer substantial headroom for power oversubscription. POLCA is robust, reliable, and readily deployable, and simulations show that it can increase the number of deployable servers by 30%.
