Apple Machine Learning paper - Cut your losses in LLMs

“We propose Cut Cross-Entropy (CCE), a method that computes the cross-entropy loss without materializing the logits for all tokens into global memory. Rather, CCE only computes the logit for the correct token and evaluates the log-sum-exp over all logits on the fly… Experiments demonstrate that the dramatic reduction in memory consumption is accomplished without sacrificing training speed or convergence.”

Interpretable Sentiment Analysis Using the Attention-Based Multiple Instance Classification Model: An Application to Wine Reviews

"In this paper, we develop an interpretable word-level context-based SA tool, which is an attention-based multiple instance classification model (AMIC)… We demonstrate the performance of AMIC using a large online wine review dataset, decoding the sentiment embedded in the texts and gaining insight on the specific usage of wine review languages.”
