Funny thing, being rude with AI improves performance
"Contrary to expectations, impolite prompts consistently outperformed polite ones, with accuracy ranging from 80.8% for Very Polite prompts to 84.8% for Very Rude prompts"

#tabular data are everywhere (from medicine to finance). However, they have been neglected by the #AI revolution. In this review, we discuss why it is difficult to work with this data and which models to use (from #neuralnetwork to #LLM).

Tabular Deep Learning: A Survey from Small Neural Networks to Large Language Models
Tabular data are ubiquitous in several real-world domains, including finance, healthcare, cybersecurity, and ecommerce. In spite of the dominance of deep learning for homogeneous data (such as compute...

Researchers evaluated 19 language models on over 76,000 participants and discovered that specialized post-training methods increased persuasiveness by up to 51%.

But, the more persuasive the LLM, the less accurate is

If you (like me) are brushing up on your #python plotting using #matplotlib or #seaborn, check out the python graph gallery by Yan Holtz: python-graph-gallery.com Being more versed in R, I've found it hard to find others using python (but the #PydyTuesday hash helps). 🙋🏻‍♀️ Say hi if that's you! #databs

Are Open Models Really Open?
Many AI models labeled as "open" come with restrictive licensing terms. Google's new models and similar releases from Meta raise concerns about commercial limitations, which could affect smaller companies that depend on these technologies.
