Defog AI Introduces LLama-3-based SQLCoder-8B: A State-of-the-Art AI Model for Generating SQL Queries from Natural Language

Chibuike Mba05 mins

In computational linguistics, the interface between human language and machine understanding of databases is a critical research area. The core challenge lies in enabling machines to interpret natural language and convert these inputs into SQL queries executable by database systems. This translation process is vital for making database interaction accessible to users without deep technical knowledge of programming or SQL syntax.

LoRA: Low-Rank Adaptation of Large Language Models

Chibuike Mba03 mins

The core idea behind LoRA is to freeze the pre-trained model weights and introduce trainable rank decomposition matrices into each layer of the Transformer architecture. This innovative approach significantly reduces the number of trainable parameters for downstream tasks, offering a more efficient and cost-effective adaptation method. For instance, when compared to fine-tuning GPT-3 175B with Adam, LoRA demonstrates an astonishing reduction of trainable parameters by a factor of 10,000 and a 3x decrease in GPU memory requirements.
