Falcon-40B, a state-of-the-art large language model, trained on a massive English web dataset called RefinedWeb, has now been released by Technology Innovation Institute under a truly permissive open-source license (Apache 2.0)‼️ This is a big step forward for Open-Source AI. 🎊 huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-…

Happy to launch the website for our TRABBI project on #innovation and #transitions in the #bioeconomy Universität Gießen! On the website, you can find information on the research project, on (future) publications and other news. 🌍🌲 trabbi-bioeconomy.de/en

SBERT is such an amazon repo, being used by so many ppl. Are there any chance to get it back on track (970 issues/70 PRs open), latest release 2022 June. It is also being used heavily inside Jina. I believe we all like to spend our spare time helping out :) Nils Reimers

With Teis Hansen and Daniel Schiller, we have a CfP for a SI on "Exploring the Geography of Innovation and Sustainability Transitions in the Bioeconomy" in Progress in Economic Geography. Please contact us if interested 🌳 Deadline: March 31st 2024 sciencedirect.com/journal/progre…

The long-awaited Sentence Transformers v2.3.0 is now released! It contains a ton of bug fixes, performance improvements, loading custom models, more efficient loading, a new strong loss function & more! Check out the release notes: github.com/UKPLab/sentenc… Or this 🧵below:

📚 Super happy to announce the publication of our research paper, co-authored with Sebastian Losacker ! We use modern #nlp methods to identify bioeconomy activities on firm websites in Germany. openjournals.wu.ac.at/ojs/index.php/… Also try our new data explorer: trabbi-bioeconomy.de/en/daten

Remember the super long complex Regex for chunking from Jina AI? Lukas Kriesch took a stab and converted it to Python. (Haven't tested yet). gist.github.com/LukasKriesch/e…

solving problems using LLMs that can be solved by fine-tuning BERT is a skill issue

👀New research shows pathways to regional bioeconomies as highly heterogeneous, underlining a need for place-based policy strategies. A novel dataset on bioeconomy-related inventions was used to uncover these diverse regional bioeconomy trajectories. swopec.hhs.se/lucirc/abs/luc…

Finetuned encoders have always been superior, LLMs have just made people forget
