Tune As You Scale: Hyperparameter Optimization For Compute Efficient Training

Abraham J. Fetterman, Ellie Kitanidis, Joshua Albrecht +6

Hyperparameter tuning of deep learning models can lead to order-of-magnitude performance gains for the same amount of compute. Despite this, systematic tuning is uncommon, particul…

Despite "super-human" performance, current LLMs are unsuited for decisions about ethics and safety

Joshua Albrecht, Ellie Kitanidis, Abraham J. Fetterman

Large language models (LLMs) have exploded in popularity in the past few years and have achieved undeniably impressive results on benchmarks as varied as question answering and tex…

Preliminary clustering properties of the DESI BGS bright targets using DR9 Legacy Imaging Surveys

Pauline Zarrouk, Omar Ruiz-Macias, Shaun Cole +10

We characterise the selection cuts and clustering properties of a magnitude-limited sample of bright galaxies that is part of the Bright Galaxy Survey (BGS) of the Dark Energy Spec…

Imaging Systematics and Clustering of DESI Main Targets

Ellie Kitanidis, Martin White, Yu Feng +10

We evaluate the impact of imaging systematics on the clustering of luminous red galaxies (LRG), emission-line galaxies (ELG) and quasars (QSO) targeted for the upcoming Dark Energy…

Cosmological Evolution of Long Gamma-ray Bursts and Star Formation Rate

Vahe' Petrosian, Ellie Kitanidis, Daniel Kocevski

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) by virtue of their high luminosities can be detected up to very high redshifts and therefore can be excellent probes of the early universe. This task is ham…
