From Data to Device: ELMOD An Efficient German-First 2.7B Language Model for Mobile Inference
Darina Gold, Alexander Schwirjow, Viktor Haag +4
We present ELMOD - Efficient Language Model for On-Device Deployment - a compact (2.7B) German language model designed for efficient inference on resource-constrained hardware. ELM…
Pre-Training LLMs on a budget: A comparison of three optimizers
Joel Schlotthauer, Christian Kroos, Chris Hinze +3
Optimizers play a decisive role in reducing pre-training times for LLMs and achieving better-performing models. In this study, we compare three major variants: the de-facto standar…
RAGONITE: Iterative Retrieval on Induced Databases and Verbalized RDF for Conversational QA over KGs with RAG
Rishiraj Saha Roy, Chris Hinze, Joel Schlotthauer +5
Conversational question answering (ConvQA) is a convenient means of searching over RDF knowledge graphs (KGs), where a prevalent approach is to translate natural language questions…
Evidence Contextualization and Counterfactual Attribution for Conversational QA over Heterogeneous Data with RAG Systems
Rishiraj Saha Roy, Joel Schlotthauer, Chris Hinze +3
Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) works as a backbone for interacting with an enterprise's own data via Conversational Question Answering (ConvQA). In a RAG system, a retriever…
