LLMs Are Different. LLMs Are the Same.
Commercial LLMs challenged with tests of originality and creativity generate results that are more similar to one another than people’s responses.
Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning
We have built a team of internationally recognized experts in artificial intelligence and machine learning—in fact, Duke ECE is said to be among the world’s top universities in AI/ML research. Our engineers urge computer hardware to higher levels of performance by efficiently allocating the computing resources that machine learning applications require, allowing us to harness the power of data to improve health care, enhance security and automation, and advance computer vision.
Industry partners have included Samsung, Qualcomm, Microsoft, Cadence, Semiconductor Research Corporation, Lenovo, Samsung, Intel, Facebook, HP and many others.
