In this paper, the authors explore the capabilities of GPT-4, a generalist foundation model, in various domains and tasks. They challenge the assumption that these models cannot perform as well as fine-tuned specialist models. The authors conduct a systematic exploration of prompt engineering to unlock deeper specialist capabilities in GPT-4. They introduce Medprompt, a composition […]
Edbrowse is a unique program that combines the functions of an editor, browser, and mail client. Originally designed for blind users, sighted users have also found value in its scripting capabilities. With edbrowse, users can edit multiple files, render HTML, access web pages, and interact with databases without human intervention. Karl Dahlke, the primary developer […]
In the novel “The Invincible” by Stanisław Lem, the characters are faced with the unknown and the inexplicable, forcing them to confront the limits of human knowledge. The story follows a space cruiser sent to investigate the fate of a sister spaceship that has lost communication with Earth. On the planet Regis III, the crew […]
In this work, we introduce Q-Transformer, a scalable reinforcement learning method that can train multi-task policies using large offline datasets that include both human demonstrations and autonomously collected data. Q-Transformer utilizes a Transformer to provide a scalable representation for Q-functions trained via offline temporal difference backups. By discretizing each action dimension and representing the Q-value […]
