Direct Nash Optimization: Teaching language models to self-improve with general preferences
Corby Rosset, Senior Researcher, Microsoft Research AI Frontiers, discusses teaching language models to self-improve using a preference oracle like GPT-4, framing it as a two-player game to find an optimal policy at a Nash equilibrium,…
Project Aurora: The first large-scale foundation model of the atmosphere
Megan Stanley, Senior Researcher, Microsoft Research AI for Science, talks about Aurora, a cutting-edge foundation model that offers a new approach to weather forecasting that could transform our ability to predict and mitigate the impacts…
CataractBot: An LLM-Powered Experts-in-the-Loop Chatbot for Cataract Patients
Patients need reliable health information, but the digital age overwhelms them with excess and often inaccurate information. Patients trust medical professionals the most, but time constraints restrict this communication. To bridge this gap, we at…
