Byte-Pair Encoding Explained by Building One
1+ hour, 9+ min ago (249+ words) Byte-pair encoding was a data compression algorithm published by Philip Gage in 1994 and repurposed for neural machine translation by Sennrich, Haddow and Birch at ACL 2016. It is simple enough to implement over a coffee, and implementing it is the fastest…...
Causal Inference When All You Have Is Observational Data
1+ hour, 9+ min ago (823+ words) Predictive modelling asks what happens next. Causal inference asks what would happen if you intervened, and no amount of predictive accuracy answers it. The gap is not a modelling gap — it is an assumption gap, and the assumptions have to…...
Chart and Diagram Reading: What Models Get Wrong
1+ hour, 9+ min ago (309+ words) A table states its values. A chart encodes them — as a length, an angle, a position along an axis, a colour — and reading it means inverting that encoding from pixels. Models are good at describing charts and much less good…...
Attention Is All You Need, Explained Section by Section
1+ hour, 21+ min ago (342+ words) This paper is cited constantly and read rarely, which is a shame, because it is short, unusually clear, and contains an ablation table that teaches more about the architecture than the diagram everyone reproduces. The architecture section builds the model…...
Attention Maps: What They Show and What They Do Not
1+ hour, 21+ min ago (593+ words) An attention map shows how much each position attended to each other position. It does not show why the model produced its output, and treating it as an explanation has been shown to be unsafe in a specific, reproducible way....
Audio Input: Speech-to-Text vs Native Audio Models
1+ hour, 21+ min ago (308+ words) You can send audio to a speech recogniser and the resulting text to a language model, or send the audio to a model that ingests it directly. The second is newer and usually described as simply faster. The more useful…...
