Detecting, Preventing and Fixing Hallucinated ChatGPT Results

There is work to mitigate, detect and prevent the hallucinated bad results from Generative AI like ChatGPT. One current general research challenge in NLP is to establish a means of identifying hallucinated texts without the need to entirely redesign new NLP (AI) models that incorporate, define and authenticate facts as discrete entities. Authenticating all facts …

Artificial General Intelligence is Happening, Just a Question of How Much

Stephen McAleese, at Less Wrong, used scaling rules and formulas to try to predict the performance of GPT-4. He underpredicted the capabilities of GPT-4. However, he was not widely wrong. GPT-4 came out earlier than he expected and had better performance than expected. Multi-task Language Understanding on MMLU was better than expected. GPT-4 can work …

What is Left Before AGI ?

The three main ingredients leading to predictable improvements in AI performance are training data, computation, and improved algorithms. In the mid-2010s, some AI researchers noticed that larger AI systems were consistently smarter, and so they theorized that the most important ingredient in AI performance might be the total budget for AI training computation. When this …
