Transformers learn in-context by (functional) gradient descent Xiang Cheng, TILOS Postdoctoral Scholar at MIT HDSI 123 and Zoom: https://ucsd.zoom.us/j/99334315002 Abstract: Motivated by the in-context learning phenomenon, we investigate how the Transformer neural […]
The applications of large language models (LLMs) are increasingly complex and diverse, necessitating efficient and reliable frameworks for building and deploying them. In this talk, I will begin with algorithms and systems for serving LLMs for everyone (FlexGen, S-LoRA, VTC), highlighting the growing trend of personalized LLM services. My work addresses the need to run LLMs locally for isolated individual needs. It also tackles the problem of efficiency and service fairness when resource sharing among many users is required. Once we have efficient deployment, a primary concern is the reliability of generation. The second part of this talk aims to address this issue by exploring verifiable code generation. To achieve this, I adopt tools in formal verification to facilitate LLMs in generating correctness certificates alongside other artifacts (Clover). Finally, I will touch on future research avenues, such as integrating formal methods with LLMs and developing programming systems for generative AI.

Abstract: Recent progress in AI can be attributed to the emergence of large models trained on large datasets. However, teaching AI agents to reliably interact with our physical world has proven challenging, which is in part due to a lack of large and sufficiently diverse robot datasets. In this talk, I will cover ongoing efforts of the Open X-Embodiment project–a collaboration between 279 researchers across 20+ institutions–to build a large, open dataset for real-world robotics, and discuss how this new paradigm is rapidly changing the field. Concretely, I will discuss why we need large datasets in robotics, what such datasets may look like, and how large models can be trained and evaluated effectively in a cross-embodiment cross-environment setting. Finally, I will conclude the talk by sharing my perspective on the limitations of current embodied AI agents, as well as how to move forward as a community.
