June 2024 - Papers on Agents, Fine-tuning and reasoning
AI, Machine-Learning

What’s included Multi-Agent RL for Adaptive UIs Is ‘Programming by Example’ (PBE) solved by LLM’s Learning Iterative Reasoning through Energy Diffusion LORA: Low-Rank Adaptation of LLMs Automating the Enterprise with Foundational Models MARLUI - Multi-Agent RL for Adaptive UI ACM Link: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3661147 Paper: MARLUI Adaptive UIs Adaptive UIs - as opposed to regular UI’s, are UI’s that can actually adapt to the users needs. In this paper, the UI is adapting to optimize the number of clicks needed to reach the outcome....

Evaluating LLM Benchmarks for React
AI, Machine-Learning

Introduction I previously wrote about writing react code with Deepseek-coder 33b model, and whether we could improve some of these shortcomings with the latest research in the LLM space But to really measure and mark progress, it would require the build of a benchmark to test various hypothesis around it. So in this post, I’m going to evaluate existing benchmarks that specifically measures LLM capabilities on coding capabilities. My goal is to be able to build a benchmark that can test their React/Typescript coding capabilities....

Can LLM's produce better code?
AI, Machine-Learning

Introduction In my previous post, I tested a coding LLM on its ability to write React code. Specifically, I tried the currently leading open source model in the HumanEval+ benchmark leaderboard - DeepseekCoder:33b-instruct. I used this model in development for a few weeks, and published a subset of examples in the post. Even though I tried this on a relatively small problem size, there were some obvious issues that were recognisable to me, namely:-...

Deepseek coder - Can it code in React?
AI

Introduction The goal of this post is to deep-dive into LLMs that are specialized in code generation tasks and see if we can use them to write code. Note: Unlike copilot, we’ll focus on locally running LLM’s. This should be appealing to any developers working in enterprises that have data privacy and sharing concerns, but still want to improve their developer productivity with locally running models. To test our understanding, we’ll perform a few simple coding tasks, compare the various methods in achieving the desired results, and also show the shortcomings....

Build - Tony Fadell
Book-Review

Introduction Tony Fadell is CEO of nest (bought by google ), and instrumental in building products at Apple like the iPod and the iPhone. The book is not about facts and science, but based on tony’s experience and deals with subjective concepts like how to build products, dealing with assholes, and how to hire etc. Overall, 4/5 stars for me, and I recommend reading it. It covers one strong individuals strong opinions, about how to deal with matters one must deal with when building impactful products....

Getting Things Done with LogSeq
Book Review

Introduction I was first introduced to the concept of “second-brain” from Tobi Lutke, the founder of Shopify. The topic started because someone asked whether he still codes - now that he is a founder of such a large company. Tobi went on to explain that he spent the weekend writing some code to customise Logseq to his preferences, and that he’s an active member of the Logseq community. The following weekend, I setup Logseq and learnt its weird ways of working, and have since been an ardent user and fan of the Logseq/Obsidian methodology of building a “second-brain”...

Understanding GPT 1, 2 and 3
Machine Learning

Introduction The goal of this series of posts, is to form foundational knowledge that helps us understanding modern state-of-the-art LLM models, and gain a comprehensive understanding of GPT via reading the seminal papers themselves. In my previous post, I covered transformers via the original paper “Attention is all you need” that brought the innovation that made all this progress possible. This post will focus on GPT-3 and its predecessors GPT-1 and 2....

Understanding GPT - Transformers
Machine Learning

Introduction The goal of this series of posts, is to form foundational knowledge that helps us understanding modern state-of-the-art LLM models, and gain a comprehensive understanding of GPT via reading the seminal papers themselves. In my previous post, I covered some of the seminal papers that formulated sequence based models from RNNs to the Attention mechanism in encoder-decoder architectures. If you don’t know about them, or would like a quick refresher - I recommend reading through the previous post before continuing here....

Understanding GPT - A Journey from RNNs to Attention
Machine Learning

Introduction ChatGPT has rightly taken the world by storm, and has possibly started the 6th wave. Given its importance, the rush to build new products and research on top is understandable. But, I’ve always liked to ground myself with foundational knowledge on how things work, before exploring anything additive. To gain such foundational knowledge, I believe understanding the progression of techniques and models is crucial to comprehend how these LLM models work under the hood....
