GPU Architecture & Working intuitively explained
Author(s): Allohvk Originally published on Towards AI. GPU Origins The image displayed on a computer screen is made up of millions of tiny pixels. In early days, “graphics controllers” were given instructions by the CPU on how to calculate the individual pixel …
Language models are transfer learners: using BERT to solve Multi-Hop RAG
Author(s): Anuar Sharafudinov Originally published on Towards AI. Credits: GPT4.1 Introduction In previous article, we addressed a critical limitation of today’s Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems: missing contextual information due to independent chunking. However, this is just one of RAG’s shortcomings. Another significant …
The Evolution of GRPO: DAPO
Author(s): tangbasky Originally published on Towards AI. Dynamic sAmpling Policy Optimization (DAPO) is actually a type of reinforcement learning optimization algorithm. To thoroughly understand DAPO, we need to progressively sort out and explain it from PPO -> GRPO -> DAPO. Proximal Policy …
