Qian Liu (Sea AI Lab) – Introduction to Modern LLM Pre-training: Sailor Use Case
This talk will present some key techniques in modern LLM pre-training, including scaling laws, data quality engineering, data mixture optimization, and efficient training strategies. We will use Sailor, a family of open language models (0.5B to 14B parameters) tailored for South-East Asian languages, as a case study. […]

ISTD PhD Oral Defense Seminar by Teo Tzu Hsuan Christopher – Fair Generative Modelling
Generative modelling (GM) has advanced significantly in recent years, especially in computer vision, where it is used for various purposes, from supplementing limited sample datasets to creating art. As GMs become more integrated into our daily activities, discussions about their efficacy are becoming more prevalent. This is largely due to the potential biases they may contain, which could then influence downstream tasks and proliferate biases in society. In this dissertation, we make important contributions in improving fairness in generative models by identifying and addressing constraints which may limit their broader adoption. […]
