Researchers from China Introduce INT-FlashAttention: INT8 Quantization Architecture Compatible with FlashAttention Improving the Inference Speed of FlashAttention on Ampere GPUs
Large Language Models (LLMs) evaluate and interpret links between words or tokens in a sequence primarily through the self-attention mechanism. However, this module’s time and memory complexity rises quadratically with sequence length, which is a disadvantage. Longer sequences demand exponentially more memory and processing, which makes scaling LLMs for applications involving longer contexts inefficient and… Read more

Google’s Zero-Shot Cross-Lingual Voice Transfer for Dysarthric Speakers
In recent years, Voice Transfer (VT) technology has made notable strides, particularly in applications such as Text-to-Speech (TTS), Voice Conversion (VC), and Speech-to-Speech Translation. However, achieving high-quality zero-shot or one-shot voice transfer, especially for unseen speakers, remains a significant challenge. In a new paper Zero-shot Cross-lingual Voice Transfer for TTS, a Google research team presents… Read more

AMPLIFY: Leveraging Data Quality Over Scale for Efficient Protein Language Model Development
Protein language models (pLMs), trained on protein sequence databases, aim to capture the fitness landscape for property prediction and design tasks. While scaling these models has become common, it assumes that the source databases accurately reflect the fitness landscape, which may not be true. Understanding protein function was historically tied to predicting structure based on… Read more
