📣 Our recent work at Meta: Rethinking Rubric Generation for Improving LLM Judge and Reward Modeling for Open-ended Tasks
Rubric-based judging and reward modeling are powerful for open-ended tasks, but scaling requires controlled generation, not just free-form lists from an LLM.
Proud of this work from @LisaAlazraki's internship at Meta Superintelligence Labs. We take a systems-level view of agentic AI and show that capabilities emerge from coordination between agents, not just parametric scaling. #agents #msl #meta
It’s here! Meet Llama 3, our latest generation of models that is setting a new standard for state-of-the art performance and efficiency for openly available LLMs.
Key highlights
• 8B and 70B parameter openly available pre-trained and fine-tuned models.
• Trained on more than 15T tokens, 7x+ larger than Llama 2's dataset!
• Improved tokenizer with vocabulary of 128K tokens for better performance.
• State-of-the-art performance across industry benchmarks.
• New capabilities, including enhanced reasoning and coding.
• 3x more efficient training than Llama 2.
• New trust and safety tools with Llama Guard 2, Code Shield, and CyberSec Eval 2.
• Integrated into Meta AI, and available in more countries across our apps.
• And, just the beginning with more models and new capabilities coming soon!

1/5 Tired of self-supervised models that can't adapt to new data?
In our #WACV2024 paper, we propose Kaizen - an end-to-end approach for continual learning that performs knowledge distillation across both the pre-training and fine-tuning steps.

🤿 What is latent masking and why is it relevant to multimodal learning?
In our paper in ML4MHD at #ICML2023 we presented CroSSL, a new model that masks intermediate embeddings to improve multimodal learning.

This is huge: Llama-v2 is open source, with a license that authorizes commercial use!
This is going to change the landscape of the LLM market.
Llama-v2 is available on Microsoft Azure and will be available on AWS, Hugging Face and other providers
Pretrained and fine-tuned models are available with 7B, 13B and 70B parameters.

A number of personalities from industry and academia have endorsed our open source approach: about.fb.com/news/2023/07/ll…
So happy to see this important work published. Model fairness should be a key consideration when we optimize machine learning pipelines for edge devices. Our paper offers a framework to approach on-device ML fairness, along with extensive experimental findings for speech models.

Great progress towards efficient and adaptive FL on ultra-constrained devices. Work led by @VincentMo6 during his internship at @BellLabs.
Federated Learning for constrained edge devices need to become more efficient and adaptive. In this preprint, we offer Centaur: a framework that adaptively partitions FL training across multiple clients owned by each user.

Shohreh Deldari (@ShohrehDeldari) from RMIT is now presenting her super cool work on cross modal self supervised learning. #UbiComp2022
Hyunsung Cho (@hciresearcher) is presenting her work FLAME 🔥 which shows how to make federated learning work in multi-device environments #UbiComp2022
Brilliant talk today by @IanTangC on our collaborative self-supervised work aimed at making HAR training data-efficient. #UbiComp2022 @ubicomp
In our upcoming paper at #IMWUT @ubicomp, we present ColloSSL: a technique for collaborative self-supervised learning among a group of devices. 🧵 (1/n) arxiv.org/abs/2202.00758

Happy 75th Independence Day! The journey has just begun #IndiaAt75
Looking forward to presenting our work and learning more about ML efficiency @ Deep Learning Indaba. Kudos to the incredible organizing team for putting this event together.
Replying to @sarahookr
The exciting part is the incredible in-person talks and lineups we have planned in Tunis. Including:
- @KateKallot, Head of emerging areas at NVIDIA
- @akhilmathurs, Principal Research Scientist at Bell Labs
- @zngu, Associate Professor, University of Edinburgh
If you are attending #ICML2022, please join our spotlight talk on self-supervised FL on July 19 and poster presentation on July 21. Please feel free to DM if you are up for a chat on FL, self-supervision, and embedded ML.

Glad to share that our work FLAME has been accepted to IMWUT '22. We explore algorithmic & system challenges for federated learning in the presence of multiple data-generating devices on a user. Proud of our intern @hciresearcher who led this work. arxiv.org/abs/2202.08922 @raswak
An excellent summary of our upcoming ICML paper on unsupervised FL. The paper is out on arXiv arxiv.org/abs/2205.11506. Also, a big thank you to the Flower framework flower.dev/ which helped us scale our FL experiments.
Hello, world! We present to you 🎶Orchestra🎶, an unsupervised framework for federated learning! The paper was recently accepted at #ICML.
