Abstract: Large pretrained language models brought a series of capabilities\, such as in-context lea rning\, chain-of-thought reasoning\, and many other prompting tricks\, tha t surprised many experienced AI researchers. At the same time\, the sheer sizes of these models brought unprecedented challenges in training and dep loyment. In this talk\, I will present recent work that exploit the new ca pabilities of these models and alleviate some of their shortcomings. First \, I will talk about how to obtain new multimodal capabilities\, such as v isual question answering… DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20230626T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20230626T120000 LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T225005Z LOCATION:UBC Vancouver Campus\, ICCS X836 / Please register to receive Zoom link SUMMARY:Multimodal AI in the Era of Gigantic Pretrained Language Models: Ch allenges and (Some) Remedies - Boyang Albert Li\, Associate Professor\, Na nyang Technological University TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://caida.ubc.ca/event/multimodal-ai-era-gigantic-pretrained-langua ge-models-challenges-and-some-remedies-boyang END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
