Evaluating LLMs Series Part 1: Evaluating Language Models with BLEU Metric

Analytics Vidhya

In artificial intelligence, evaluating the performance of language models presents a unique challenge. Unlike image recognition or numerical predictions, language quality assessment doesn’t yield to simple binary measurements. Enter BLEU (Bilingual Evaluation Understudy), a metric that has become the cornerstone of machine translation evaluation since its introduction by IBM researchers in 2002.

Why RAG Systems Fail and How to Fix Them

Analytics Vidhya

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) enhances large language models (LLMs) by integrating external knowledge, making responses more informative and context-aware. However, RAG fails in many scenarios, affecting its ability to generate accurate and relevant outputs. These issues in RAG systems impact applications in various domains, from customer support to research and content generation.

Deep Learning Is Not So Mysterious or Different

Hacker News

Deep neural networks are often seen as different from other model classes by defying conventional notions of generalization. Popular examples of anomalous generalization behaviour include benign overfitting, double descent, and the success of overparametrization. We argue that these phenomena are not distinct to neural networks, or particularly mysterious.
