In this blog, I share notes on an intriguing paper I recently read:

Nov 15，Notes on OPENCODER

Contextual Retrieval, a method proposed by Anthropic, significantly enhances the retrieval step in RAG systems.

Nov 6, Notes on Contextual Retrieval

The blog introduces a novel method for evaluating LLM performance by having them play the Snake game, assessing their decision-making, planning, and strategy skills. The experiment tested several models, revealing that o1-mini performed best with a score of 11, while Claude models outperformed GPT models. The findings suggest that reinforcement learning significantly enhances LLMs' capabilities in dynamic decision-making tasks. Although preliminary, this approach highlights the potential of game-based assessments for deeper insights into LLM competencies, with recommendations for further testing across more models and scenarios.

Oct 30, LLMs cannot Play the Snake Game  

The blog discusses LIGHTRAG, an innovative framework for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems that enhances performance by incorporating graph structures and dual-level retrieval processes. It outlines the challenges faced by traditional RAG systems, such as speed, quality, and understanding limitations, and explains how LightRAG addresses these issues through efficient text indexing and retrieval methods. The framework allows for both specific and abstract queries, improving the ability to handle complex questions and providing tailored responses using a general-purpose LLM.

Oct 18, Notes on LIGHTRAG

The blog discusses two contrasting papers on large language models (LLMs): one proposes a "Re-Reading" method to enhance reasoning capabilities, showing consistent improvements in performance, while the other, GSM-Symbolic, critiques LLMs' reasoning abilities, revealing significant performance variance and limitations in mathematical reasoning. The author concludes that it's too early to declare LLMs incapable of reasoning, suggesting that current limitations may evolve.

More researchers are recognizing the significance of instruction data during the Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) stage. In June, I wrote a blog about data generation, but I believe it was somewhat superficial and insufficient. Since then, many new methods have emerged. Therefore, I aim to cover more papers I've read to discuss instruction data generation and selection.  

August 17, Instruction Data Generation  

In July, I helped my team build a confidential LLM benchmark tailored to our needs due to contamination in public benchmarks. Despite claims, I haven't seen LLMs surpass GPT-4 in practice. Constructing the test set was challenging, and I learned about LLM-as-a-Judge for evaluation. Personally, I experimented with Midjourney, TextGrad, Dify, and DSPy, documenting my experiences in blog posts. Additionally, I started preparing for the PTE exam, aiming for a high score on August 8.

August 1, Recap for July 

With the rapid development of LLMs, the community requires an efficient and accurate method to automatically evaluate LLM performance, as human annotation is tedious and time-consuming. LLM-as-a-Judge is now an optimized solution for this need.

July 31, LLM/VLM-as-a-Judge

DSPy is an optimization framework that enhances prompts and responses from models like GPT-4o-mini. It showcases the magic of the framework and demonstrates how to use its powerful optimizers to improve the cost-effective model. The MMLU-Pro dataset is an advanced dataset with complex questions and increased answer choices. The evaluation metric is defined to check if the model's responses match the true answers.

Evaluating LLMs is important for understanding their abilities and solving real business problems. A good evaluation requires sufficient and high-quality data samples, clear judging criteria, meaningful evaluation tasks, and frequent private benchmarks. The process should adapt to the development of LLMs over time.

July 16, LLMs Evals Thoughts

As the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) continue to evolve, many traditional evaluation benchmarks may require updates. With the rapid progress of these models, researchers are increasingly introducing new evaluation datasets. However, the specific dimensions these datasets assess in the models are often unclear. In this blog, I will explore a series of commonly referenced evaluation datasets and highlight the particular aspects of model capabilities they were designed to assess even though I may not cover all available datasets.
