    ASSET Seminar: “Wood Wide Models”

    October 9, 2024 @ 12:00 PM - 1:15 PM /
    Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Abstract:  Foundation models are monolithic models that are trained on a broad set of data, and which are then in principle fine-tuned to various specific tasks. But they are ill-suited […]
