The article discusses the importance of accurately forecasting the future behavior of road agents for safe planning in autonomous vehicles. The authors present a model called MotionLM, which represents continuous trajectories as sequences of discrete motion tokens and treats multi-agent motion prediction as a language modeling task. Unlike other models, MotionLM does not require anchors […]
Efficient Streaming Language Models with Attention Sinks is a paper that addresses the challenges of deploying Large Language Models (LLMs) in streaming applications, such as multi-round dialogues. The paper introduces StreamingLLM, an efficient framework that enables LLMs trained with a finite length attention window to generalize to infinite sequence length without fine-tuning. By retaining only […]
In the near future, it is predicted that every type of database, including graph, relational, document, and key-value databases, will offer some form of vector search.
