By Sergio De SimoneGoogle Researchers Propose Bayesian Teaching Method for Large Language Models
Google Research has proposed a training method that teaches large language models to approximate Bayesian reasoning by learning from the predictions of an optimal Bayesian system. The approach focuses on improving how models update beliefs as they receive new information during multi-step interactions.
By Daniel DominguezCloudflare Introduces Support for ASPA, an Emerging Internet Routing Security Standard
Cloudflare recently announced support for ASPA (Autonomous System Provider Authorization). The new cryptographic standard helps make Internet routing safer by verifying the path data takes across networks to reach its destination and preventing traffic from traversing unreliable or untrusted networks.
