Experimenting with Large Language Models and vector embeddings in NASA SciX
Sergi Blanco-Cuaresma, Ioana Ciucă, Alberto Accomazzi +19
Open-source Large Language Models enable projects such as NASA SciX (i.e., NASA ADS) to think out of the box and try alternative approaches for information retrieval and data augme…
AstroLLaMA: Towards Specialized Foundation Models in Astronomy
Tuan Dung Nguyen, Yuan-Sen Ting, Ioana Ciucă +21
Large language models excel in many human-language tasks but often falter in highly specialized domains like scholarly astronomy. To bridge this gap, we introduce AstroLLaMA, a 7-b…
Adversarial Fine-Tuning of Language Models: An Iterative Optimisation Approach for the Generation and Detection of Problematic Content
Charles O'Neill, Jack Miller, Ioana Ciuca +2
In this paper, we tackle the emerging challenge of unintended harmful content generation in Large Language Models (LLMs) with a novel dual-stage optimisation technique using advers…
Steering Language Generation: Harnessing Contrastive Expert Guidance and Negative Prompting for Coherent and Diverse Synthetic Data Generation
Charles O'Neill, Yuan-Sen Ting, Ioana Ciuca +2
Large Language Models (LLMs) hold immense potential to generate synthetic data of high quality and utility, which has numerous applications from downstream model training to practi…
Harnessing the Power of Adversarial Prompting and Large Language Models for Robust Hypothesis Generation in Astronomy
Ioana Ciucă, Yuan-Sen Ting, Sandor Kruk +1
This study investigates the application of Large Language Models (LLMs), specifically GPT-4, within Astronomy. We employ in-context prompting, supplying the model with up to 1000 p…
The outer low- disc of the Milky Way -- I: evidence for the first pericentric passage of Sagittarius?
Payel Das, Yang Huang, Ioana Ciuca +1
Phase-space data, chemistry, and ages together reveal a complex structure in the outer low- disc of the Milky Way. The age-vertical velocity dispersion profiles beyond the Solar…
Galactic ChitChat: Using Large Language Models to Converse with Astronomy Literature
Ioana Ciucă, Yuan-Sen Ting
We demonstrate the potential of the state-of-the-art OpenAI GPT-4 large language model to engage in meaningful interactions with Astronomy papers using in-context prompting. To opt…
