Standard language model training employs gold human documents or human-human interaction data, and treats all training data as positive examples. Growing evidence shows that even with very large amounts of positive training data, issues remain that can be alleviated with relatively small amounts of negative data -- examples of what the model should not do. In this work, we propose a novel procedure to train with such data called the CRINGE loss (ContRastive Iterative Negative GEneration). We show the effectiveness of this approach across three different experiments on the tasks of safe generation, contradiction avoidance, and open-domain dialogue. Our models outperform multiple strong baselines and are conceptually simple, easy to train and implement.

Large language models (LLMs) have been shown to be able to perform new tasks based on a few demonstrations or natural language instructions. While these capabilities have led to widespread adoption, most LLMs are developed by resource-rich organizations and are frequently kept from the public. As a step towards democratizing this powerful technology, we present BLOOM, a 176B-parameter open-access language model designed and built thanks to a collaboration of hundreds of researchers. BLOOM is a decoder-only Transformer language model that was trained on the ROOTS corpus, a dataset comprising hundreds of sources in 46 natural and 13 programming languages (59 in total). We find that BLOOM achieves competitive performance on a wide variety of benchmarks, with stronger results after undergoing multitask prompted finetuning. To facilitate future research and applications using LLMs, we publicly release our models and code under the Responsible AI License.

Automatic keyword extraction (AKE) has gained more importance with the increasing amount of digital textual data that modern computing systems process. It has various applications in information retrieval (IR) and natural language processing (NLP), including text summarisation, topic analysis and document indexing. This paper proposes a simple but effective post-processing-based universal approach to improve the performance of any AKE methods, via an enhanced level of semantic-awareness supported by PoS-tagging. To demonstrate the performance of the proposed approach, we considered word types retrieved from a PoS-tagging step and two representative sources of semantic information -- specialised terms defined in one or more context-dependent thesauri, and named entities in Wikipedia. The above three steps can be simply added to the end of any AKE methods as part of a post-processor, which simply re-evaluate all candidate keywords following some context-specific and semantic-aware criteria. For five state-of-the-art (SOTA) AKE methods, our experimental results with 17 selected datasets showed that the proposed approach improved their performances both consistently (up to 100\% in terms of improved cases) and significantly (between 10.2\% and 53.8\%, with an average of 25.8\%, in terms of F1-score and across all five methods), especially when all the three enhancement steps are used. Our results have profound implications considering the ease to apply our proposed approach to any AKE methods and to further extend it.

Solar activity is usually caused by the evolution of solar magnetic fields. Magnetic field parameters derived from photospheric vector magnetograms of solar active regions have been used to analyze and forecast eruptive events such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections. Unfortunately, the most recent solar cycle 24 was relatively weak with few large flares, though it is the only solar cycle in which consistent time-sequence vector magnetograms have been available through the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) since its launch in 2010. In this paper, we look into another major instrument, namely the Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) on board the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) from 1996 to 2010. The data archive of SOHO/MDI covers more active solar cycle 23 with many large flares. However, SOHO/MDI data only has line-of-sight (LOS) magnetograms. We propose a new deep learning method, named MagNet, to learn from combined LOS magnetograms, Bx and By taken by SDO/HMI along with H-alpha observations collected by the Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO), and to generate vector components Bx' and By', which would form vector magnetograms with observed LOS data. In this way, we can expand the availability of vector magnetograms to the period from 1996 to present. Experimental results demonstrate the good performance of the proposed method. To our knowledge, this is the first time that deep learning has been used to generate photospheric vector magnetograms of solar active regions for SOHO/MDI using SDO/HMI and H-alpha data.

智能对话代理人和人类之间互动的承诺是，模型可以从这种反馈中学习以改进。不幸的是，野外的这种交流并不总是涉及良性或高质量的人类话语，并将包括订婚的（助手），未接触甚至恶意用户（巨魔）的混合。在这项工作中，我们研究了如何在这种环境中进行强大的学习。我们引入了基准评估，即Safetymix，可以评估在各种对抗环境中学习安全语言与有毒语言的方法，以测试其稳健性。我们建议和分析几种缓解学习算法，这些算法在示例或用户级别上识别巨魔。我们的主要发现是，基于用户的方法考虑到巨魔用户将在多个示例中表现出对抗性行为，在我们的基准测试中的各种环境中都可以使用。然后，我们在部署期间收集的对话的进一步现实生活中测试这些方法，结果相似。

经过培训的模拟静态数据集的冷冻模型永远无法提高其性能。可以采用互联网进行互联网以获取最新信息并在部署期间从人类那里获得反馈的模型提供了适应新信息并提高其性能的承诺。在这项工作中，我们研究了如何在此类学习框架中提高以互联网为导向的对话技能。我们收集人类互动的部署数据，并公开可用，并收集各种类型的人类反馈 - 包括二进制质量测量，自由形式的文本反馈和罚款良好的失败原因。然后，我们研究了各种从此类反馈中改进的算法，包括标准监督学习，拒绝抽样，模型引导和基于奖励的学习，以便对哪种类型的反馈和算法效果最好。我们发现最近介绍的导演模型（Arora等人，'22）比其他现有方法显示出显着改善。

我们提出了Blenderbot 3，这是一个175B参数对话模型，能够通过访问Internet和长期内存进行开放域对话，并接受了大量用户定义的任务的培训。我们同时发布了模型权重和代码，还将模型部署在公共网页上，以与有机用户进行交互。该技术报告描述了该模型的构建方式（建筑，模型和培训计划）以及其部署的细节，包括安全机制。人类评估表明，它优于现有的开放域对话代理，包括其前身（Roller等，2021； Komeili等，2022）。最后，我们使用部署收集的数据详细介绍了持续学习的计划，该数据也将公开发布。因此，该研究计划的目标是使社区能够研究通过互动学习的不断改进的负责任的代理商。

视频场景图（Vidsgg）旨在将视频内容解析到场景图中，其中涉及对视频中的时尚上下文信息进行建模。但是，由于数据集中的长尾训练数据，现有Vidsgg模型的概括性能可能会受到时空条件偏置问题的影响。在这项工作中，从元学习的角度来看，我们提出了一个新颖的元视频场景图（MVSGG）框架来解决这种偏见问题。具体而言，要处理各种类型的时空条件偏差，我们的框架首先构建了一个支持集和一组查询集，其中每个查询集的数据分布与支持集W.R.T.的数据分布不同。一种条件偏见。然后，通过执行新颖的元训练和测试过程，以优化模型，以在支持集的训练后在这些查询集上获得良好的测试性能，我们的框架可以有效地指导该模型学会对偏见进行良好的概括。广泛的实验证明了我们提出的框架的功效。

基于中心的聚类算法的最新进展通过隐式退火来打击贫穷的本地最小值，并使用一系列普遍的手段来打击。这些方法是劳埃德（Lloyd）著名的$ k $ -MEANS算法的变体，最适合于球形簇，例如由高斯数据引起的簇。在本文中，我们将这些算法的进步桥接为布雷格曼（Bregman）差异下的硬聚类的经典工作，这些工作享有指数级家庭分布的培养，因此非常适合由数据生成机制的广度引起的聚类对象。布雷格曼分歧的优雅特性使我们能够以简单透明的算法维护封闭的表单更新，此外，还引发了新的理论论点，以建立有限的样本范围，以放松在现有的艺术状态下做出的有限支持假设。此外，我们考虑对模拟实验进行彻底的经验分析和降雨数据的案例研究，发现所提出的方法在各种非高斯数据设置中都优于现有的同行方法。

我们介绍了自回归文本到图像（Parti）模型的途径，该模型生成高保真的影像图像并支持涉及复杂组成和世界知识的内容丰富的合成。 Parti将文本对图像生成视为类似于机器翻译的序列到序列建模问题，图像令牌的序列是目标输出，而不是其他语言的文本令牌。这种策略自然可以利用大型语言模型的先前工作，通过扩展数据和模型尺寸，能力和性能的持续进展。我们的方法很简单：首先，Parti使用基于变压器的图像令牌VIT-VQGAN将图像编码为离散令牌的序列。其次，我们通过将编码器二次变压器模型缩放到20B参数来实现一致的质量改进，其新的最新零弹药FID得分为7.23，而MS-Coco的FIDED得分为3.22。我们对本地化叙述以及党的详细分析（P2），这是1600多个英语提示的新的整体基准，证明了Parti在各种类别和难度方面的有效性。我们还探索并突出了我们的模型的局限性，以定义和体现关注重点领域以进一步改进。有关高分辨率图像，请参见https://parti.research.google/。
