This is a self guided online course on compilers. The topics covered throughout the course include universal compilers topics like intermediate representations, data flow, and “classic” optimizations as well as more research focusedtopics such as parallelization, just-in-time compilation, and garbage collection.
The research paper provides an overview of various datasets that have been used to study fairness in machine learning. It discusses the characteristics of these datasets, such as their size, diversity, and the fairness-related challenges they address. The paper also examines the different domains and applications covered by these datasets.
As LLMs get larger fine-tuning to the full extent can become difficult to train on consumer hardware. Storing and deploying these tuned models can also be quite expensive and difficult to store. With PEFT (parameter -efficent fine tuning), it approaches fine-tune on a smaller scale of model parameters while freezing most parameters of the pretrained LLMs. Basically it is providing full performance that which is similar if not better than full fine tuning while only having a small number of trainable parameters. This source explains that as well as going over LORA diagrams and a code walk through.

OpenMP (Open Multi-Processing) is an API that supports multi-platform shared-memory multiprocessing programming in C, C++, and Fortran on many platforms, instruction-set architectures and operating systems, including Solaris, AIX, FreeBSD, HP-UX, Linux, macOS, and Windows. It consists of a set of compiler directives, library routines, and environment variables that influence run-time behavior.
Humans cannot always be treated as oracles for collaborative sensing. Robots thus need to maintain beliefs over unknown world states when receiving semantic data from humans, as well as account for possible discrepancies between human-provided data and these beliefs. To this end, this paper introduces the problem of semantic data association (SDA) in relation to conventional data association problems for sensor fusion. It then, develops a novel probabilistic semantic data association (PSDA) algorithm to rigorously address SDA in general settings. Simulations of a multi-object search task show that PSDA enables robust collaborative state estimation under a wide range of conditions.
