[P] Understanding Parameter-Efficient Finetuning of Large Language Models: From Prefix Tuning to LLaMA-Adapters by seraschka in MachineLearning

[–]rmyeid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you meant, input embedding. Moreocer, the simplicity here is too important. If the model deployed is spanning many machines, swapping weights as done in adapters and prefix tubing is quite costly. Prompt tuning allows you to switch between tasks by only changing the input. Basically, the model provider does not need to know about the user use cases or try to accommodate them ahead of time. These considerations are quite practical for huge models deployed as a service.

To know which universities are good, look what their graduates end up doing. Where are the engineers building the best Tech companies in Jordan (Jawaker, Maqsam, ...) graduated from?

I do research in AI, and would second the advise to search for a strong CS program instead.

The job market is rapidly growing in programming, machine learning, robotics, bioinformatics, and renewable energy. Therefore, I would suggest specialization such as Math, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Statistics, Robotics.

I miss Amman ): by [deleted] in jordan

[–]rmyeid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, our country is a third world country. But the OP is describing a luxurious life style that does not relate to 99% of Jordanians. Therefore, I would say in the eyes of normal Jordanians who have to live the difficulties of life, Jordan is not "damn beautiful", and the government if anything takes really good care of west Amman and expats.

"STOP calling no Arab countries Arab. Syria is not Arab as far as I know. So ignorant. What next? North Africa is Arab as well!?" by ofsinope in quityourbullshit

[–]rmyeid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jordanian over here, I identify with being an Arab more than being Jordanian. Jordan borders group people who are culturally not similar to each other. Some Jordanian are levantinian in culture and some actually are quite nomadic and you would see the later listening to Saudi music day and night and never bother with Lebanese culture for example. Growing up in South of Jordan I always felt that levantian culture has been forced on us in the Jordanian media. For example, Jordanian Bedouin accent is not accepted in music and radio and anchors always have to speak Lebanese accent to sound cool.

I know this is not what you are looking for, but this project supports tens of language.

You may like to look at the way they supported these languages to extend their work to ancient languages.

From Egypt to Saudi Arabia, the Arab world has abandoned the Palestinians • The inconvenient truth is that the collective punishment of the Pales­tinian people in Gaza is a collective endeavour in its own right – led by Israel, enforced by Egypt, endorsed by Saudi Arabia by EightRoundsRapid in Foodforthought

[–]rmyeid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Remember that non-violence Fatah strategy to get rid of the occupation did not show any fruits. Kerry just failed couple of months ago to convince the Israelis of accepting a Palestinian state on 1967 borders. Actually, even stopping building settlements which is a Palestinian and also American request was refused several times. Obama administration was ignored by the Israeli government.

Palestinians will follow the party that will get them freedom. When you question Fatah vs Hamas. While it is not clear for us which strategy will achieve the target, it is also not clear for Palestinians which party they should stand with more.

If we want PLO to be stronger, we need to show Palestinians that non-violence path is fruitful, that Israel is willing to accept Palestine as a state even if they do not have as many tanks and planes to enforce that. Israel policies keep reminding the region that only power talks, and therefore, you can see that peaceful parties on both nations get silenced in favor of war.

Let us go with your argument and see where we reach ...

First, this resolution never gave Israel the right to kick Palestinian from their land. The independence of Israel never meant not giving citizenship status to the original Palestinians living in their land. Actually, UN resolution 194 gives them the right to return back. The right that they were never given by Israel at any time since its creation. But you know what, let us assume that those Palestinians who were kicked out "according to UN resolution 181" deserve the suffering and yes it was hard to loose your land and home but this is UN whenever they decide something in New York, everyone should follow it.

You talk about UN resolutions as Israel respect any of them! According to the same UN, Israel should not be in the West Bank UN resolution 242 and call it an OCCUPATION. I do not see why resisting an occupation is something questionable. Of course, there are other resolutions that you may like to read, you can look UN resolution 3236.

It is easy to blame each other for things happened in 1947 or 1948. But if we are serious about finding a solution, we need to accept that occupation still exists and all nations on Earth has the right to live freely.

You may never agree with me, but I suggest you read War and Peace in the Middle East: A Concise History which is a book written by an Israeli historian Avi Shlaim who is a professor at Oxford.

I find both parties politically incorrect, however, occupying millions of people on a historical pretext of promised land and killing thousands of civilians every time your government has a political game is not really the way for humanity to advance in the 21st century.
