From Zero to Hero: Harnessing Transformers for Biomedical Named Entity Recognition in Zero- and Few-shot Contexts

https://aimodels.fyi/papers/arxiv/from-zero-to-hero-harnessing-transformers-biomedical

The paper presents a novel method for zero- and few-shot biomedical named entity recognition using transformer models, achieving competitive performance with minimal training data and outperforming larger models, thus enabling efficient extraction of new biomedical entities without extensive annotation or retraining.

Concurrent Data Structures Made Easy (Extended Version)

https://aimodels.fyi/papers/arxiv/concurrent-data-structures-made-easy-extended-version

OBatcher is an OCaml library that simplifies the design and use of batch-parallel data structures, offering a lightweight implicit batching design and strategies for converting sequential structures to efficient batch-parallel ones, resulting in implementations that consistently outperform coarse-grained lock-based alternatives and scale well with processor count.

How to avoid machine learning pitfalls: a guide for academic researchers

https://aimodels.fyi/papers/arxiv/how-to-avoid-machine-learning-pitfalls-guide

This guide identifies common pitfalls in machine learning research and provides strategies to avoid them, covering five key stages of the ML process with a focus on academic rigor and valid conclusions.

Beyond Scale: The Diversity Coefficient as a Data Quality Metric for Variability in Natural Language Data

https://aimodels.fyi/papers/arxiv/beyond-scale-diversity-coefficient-as-data-quality

The paper introduces the “diversity coefficient” as a metric for measuring variability in natural language datasets used to train large language models, demonstrating through experiments that higher data diversity correlates with improved model performance on downstream tasks.
