Differential learning kinetics govern the transition from memorization to generalization during in-context learning

ICLR 2025spotlight

Transformers exhibit in-context learning (ICL): the ability to use novel information presented in the context without additional weight updates. Recent work shows that ICL emerges when models are trained on a sufficiently diverse set of tasks and the transition from memorization to generalization is…

Smaller Language Models are capable of selecting Instruction-Tuning Training Data for Larger Language Models

ACL 2024findings

Instruction-tuning language models has become a crucial step in aligning them for general use. Typically, this process involves extensive training on large datasets, incurring high training costs. In this paper, we introduce a novel training data selection based on the learning percentage of the sam…

Reconstructing the Mind's Eye: fMRI-to-Image with Contrastive Learning and Diffusion Priors

NeurIPS 2023spotlight

We present MindEye, a novel fMRI-to-image approach to retrieve and reconstruct viewed images from brain activity. Our model comprises two parallel submodules that are specialized for retrieval (using contrastive learning) and reconstruction (using a diffusion prior). MindEye can map fMRI brain activ…
