LLM DECONTAMINAOR

When new models come out with astounding capabilities, it is natural to question whether they actually trained on the validation data or on benchmarks. Decontamination is the process of removing such testing data from the input. The LMSYS group found that if you rephrase test data in a way that passes decontamination but still contains information about the benchmark, you can fake your way to amazing performance.

MONODIFFUSION: DEPTH ESTIMATION WITHOUT GROUND-TRUTH

This study introduces MonoDiffusion, a novel framework for self-supervised monocular depth estimation, which uniquely approaches the challenge as an iterative denoising process. It utilizes a pseudo ground-truth diffusion process guided by a pre-trained teacher model to improve depth map accuracy without using actual depth ground-truth in training.
