This or That, PRECISE group edition!

[PRECISE @PRECISEProtons]

Our team is having a great time at #ICCR2024. Proton Medical Physicist and PRECISE member, @SamPIngram delivered a presentation titled “MCMimic: a Machine Learning Approach for Fast Prediction of Monte Carlo Proton Dose and LET”.

[PRECISE @PRECISEProtons]

Next up, say Hi to Jenn and Sam from our PRECISE group.

[PRECISE @PRECISEProtons]

It's #PTCOG62 week and some of our PRECISE team are presenting in Singapore. Check out @SamPIngram delivering his presentation titled 'Functional Image Guided Adaptive Radiotherapy (FIG-ART) in PBT H+N Treatment Planning for Changes in Hypoxia using Oxygen-enhanced MRI Imaging'.

@perplexity_ai Does the vision element not work? Anytime I add an image it defaults to generating the response with GPT4, or so the tag says.

The first model to beat 100% of ChatGPT-3.5
Available on Huggingface

🔥 OpenChat_8192

🔥 105.7% of ChatGPT (Vicuna GPT-4 Benchmark)

Less than a month ago the world witnessed as ORCA [1] became the first model to ever outpace ChatGPT on Vicuna's benchmark.

Today, the race to replicate these results open-source comes to an end.

Minutes ago OpenChat scored 105.7% of ChatGPT.

But wait! There is more!

Not only OpenChat beated Vicuna's benchmark, it did so pulling off a LIMA [2] move!

Training was done using 6K GPT-4 conversations out of the ~90K ShareGPT conversations.

The model comes in three versions: the basic OpenChat model, OpenChat-8192 and OpenCoderPlus (Code generation: 102.5% ChatGPT)

This is a significant achievement considering that it's the first (released) open-source model to surpass the Vicuna benchmark. 🎉🎉

- OpenChat: https://t.co/lglHYQpo2A
- OpenChat_8192: https://t.co/XU9o3GaVsg (best chat)
- OpenCoderPlus: https://t.co/qwPCD8mXkg (best coder)

- Dataset: https://t.co/tXj34fv5Wp

- Code: https://t.co/WhS5dPq6ml

Congratulations to the authors!!

[2] - LIMA: Less Is More for Alignment - TL;DR: Using small number of VERY high quality samples (1000 in the paper) can be as powerful as much larger datasets: https://t.co/58bo1qarSl

“Fund teams not projects”

The way funding is awarded (grants, business cases etc) punishes failure and discourages learning.

The health system can’t afford these painful mistakes.

A great afternoon yesterday axe throwing with the proton physics team. On reflection we somehow picked an activity solely focused on the accurate and consistent bombardment of lethal force to a target. The perfect activity synonym for treatment planning.
