Cabrita: closing the gap for foreign languages

no code implementations23 Aug 2023 Celio Larcher, Marcos Piau, Paulo Finardi, Pedro Gengo, Piero Esposito, Vinicius Caridá

The main solution to overcome the cost challenge is to rely on available pre-trained models, which, despite recent advancements such as the LLaMA and LLaMA-2 models, still demonstrate inefficiency for certain specific domain problems or prove ineffective in scenarios involving conversational memory resources, given the large number of tokens required to represent text.

Normalizador Neural de Datas e Endereços

no code implementations27 Jun 2020 Gustavo Plensack, Paulo Finardi

To circumvent this challenge, we present a solution with deep neural networks state of art T5 that treats non-preconfigured formats of dates and addresses with accuracy above 90% in some cases.

Electricity Theft Detection with self-attention

1 code implementation14 Feb 2020 Paulo Finardi, Israel Campiotti, Gustavo Plensack, Rafael Derradi de Souza, Rodrigo Nogueira, Gustavo Pinheiro, Roberto Lotufo

In this work we propose a novel self-attention mechanism model to address electricity theft detection on an imbalanced realistic dataset that presents a daily electricity consumption provided by State Grid Corporation of China.
