New work! We show that machine-learned operators (MLOs) for PDEs struggle with accurate zero-shot multi-resolution inference. Popular fixes don’t solve it, but multi-resolution training offers robust, cost-effective modeling across scales! https://github.com/msakarvadia/operator_aliasing

LSHBloom, a memory-efficient way to deduplicate documents at scale - critical for LLM training pipelines - has been included in the Datasketch package for easy use.

See the results of our Exascale document deduplication and more details about LSHBloom in the paper at: arxiv.org/abs/2411.04257
