The Falcon-7B/40B open-source LLMs were released late this week, and their performance is super impressive. But, there's a huge catch for those using them commercially! Here's my main takeaways from the models so far... model architecture. The Falcon models were released by

Our paper "Character Coreference Resolution in Movie Screenplays" has been accepted and published at #ACL2023NLP. Should be a good read for anyone interested in long-document tasks and coreference! SAIL 🎥 Paper link: aclanthology.org/2023.findings-…

Check out our newly released PEFT-SER models for speech emotion recognition with just a few lines of code. SER remains a challenging task in the ML field, and we hope such efforts will facilitate related research. Code link and details: github.com/usc-sail/peft-…
