FOLDS seminar: Coherence Mechanisms for Provable Self-Improvement
Zoom link: https://upenn.zoom.us/j/98220304722 Large language models are increasingly trained to improve themselves, yet the mechanisms driving this, such as self-reflection or RLAIF, rely almost entirely on empirical heuristics. Is it possible […]
FOLDS seminar & PENN AI seminar: Optimization Challenges in Physics-Informed Neural Networks
Zoom link: https://upenn.zoom.us/j/98220304722 Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) minimize composite losses that penalize PDE residuals alongside boundary and initial conditions. While this resembles multi-task learning, the optimization landscape is fundamentally different. […]
AI Research Seminar Series – “Toward Sustainable Data Centers for Artificial Intelligence”
As the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) continues to proliferate, computer architects must assess and mitigate its energy demands. This talk will survey strategies for mitigating the energy used by […]
