X-Media addresses the issue of knowledge management in complex distributed environments. It studies, develops and implements large scale methodologies and techniques for knowledge management able to support sharing and reuse of knowledge that is distributed in different media (images, documents and data) and repositories (data bases, knowledge bases, document repositories, etc.).
🤔 What Matters in Data for DPO? I asked myself this question a few days ago while trying to understand how to generate a dataset with preferences to run #DPO. This recent #NeurIPS paper answered some of my questions. The findings are simple but crucial for data creation:
