We Need Better Evals for LLM Applications: It’s hard to evaluate AI applications built on large language models. Better evals would accelerate progress.

A barrier to faster progress in generative AI is evaluations (evals), particularly of custom AI applications that generate free-form text.

Richer Context for RAG: RAPTOR, a recursive summarizer, captures more relevant context for LLM inputs

Text excerpts used in retrieval augmented generation (RAG) tend to be short. Researchers used summarization to pack more relevant context into the same amount of text.

Interpreting Image Edit Instructions: Meta’s Emu Edit improves text-to-image generation with task classification.

The latest text-to-image generators can alter images in response to a text prompt, but their outputs often don’t accurately reflect the text. They do better if, in addition to a prompt, they’re told the general type of alteration they’re expected to make.
