○PassBold Bet

AI-generated attention mechanism proposal with zero benchmarks or working code.

Strengths
  • •Creative approach using genetic algorithms to discover attention optimizations
  • •Author transparent about bioinformatics background and AI-assisted research process
Weaknesses
  • •No implementation, benchmarks, or runnable code to evaluate the proposal
  • •Markdown spec without substance cannot be assessed against existing attention methods

AI/ML researchers interested in transformer attention optimization

Post Description

Hi, I'm a PhD student in Bioinformatics/Computational Biology with a software engineering background,

I'm trying to pivot toward AI/ML research. I'm familiar with the practical side of AI as in using, Scikit learn, R, Pytorch, ONNX Runtime etc...

I was thinking if LLMs could be used as a research assistant to create better AIML algorithms. So I asked ChatGPT to help find better way to solved one of the most computationally intensive problems in Transformer architecture based model. I instructed ChatGPT to use genetic algorithms, genetic programming and other optimization techniques (Something I use extensively in my bioinformatics research) to find better Attention methods in transformers and this was the result. I would love to get feedback and comments from the AIML research community. Please read the md file and get back to me.

Hope you find this useful.

Thank you
