Generative AI needs better context - you can't talk about Large Language Models without reverse neural networks and backpropagation

The hype over Large Language Models (LLMs) has reached a fever pitch. But how much of the hype is justified? We can't answer that without some straight talk - and some definitions. Time for a ...

SEOULTECH researchers develop VFF-Net, a revolutionary alternative to backpropagation that transforms AI training

VFF-Net introduces three new methodologies: label-wise noise labelling (LWNL), cosine similarity-based contrastive loss (CSCL), and layer grouping (LG), addressing the challenges of applying a forward ...
