Universities face intense global competition in the contemporary academic landscape, with institutional rankings increasingly tied to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a critical social impact assessment benchmark. These rankings significantly influence crucial institutional parameters such as funding opportunities, international reputation, and student recruitment strategies. The current methodological approach to tracking SDG-related research…
Building large language model (LLM)-powered applications for real-world production scenarios is challenging. Developers often face issues such as inconsistent responses from models, difficulties in ensuring robustness, and a lack of strong type safety. When building applications that leverage LLMs, the goal is to provide reliable, accurate, and contextually appropriate outputs to users, which requires consistency,…
The static knowledge base and hallucination-creating inaccuracy or fabrication of information are two common issues with large language models (LLMs). The parametric knowledge within LLMs is inherently static, making it challenging to provide up-to-date information in real-time scenarios. Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) addresses the problem of integrating external, real-time information to enhance accuracy and relevance. However,…
The development of machine learning (ML) models for scientific applications has long been hindered by the lack of suitable datasets that capture the complexity and diversity of physical systems. Many existing datasets are limited, often covering only small classes of physical behaviors. This lack of comprehensive data makes it challenging to develop effective surrogate models…
Differentially Private Stochastic Gradient Descent (DP-SGD) is a key method for training machine learning models like neural networks while ensuring privacy. It modifies the standard gradient descent process by clipping individual gradients to a fixed norm and adding noise to the aggregated gradients of each mini-batch. This approach enables privacy by preventing sensitive information in…
