Icosa Computing has just released its first academic paper in collaboration with NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, USRA , and Hewlett Packard Enterprise. ?? ???? ? Their research highlights a significant advancement in Large Language Models (LLMs). While it's well-known that the choice of prompting techniques can greatly impact LLM performance across various tasks, the most effective techniques typically require human-crafted prompts tailored to specific tasks. ?? Introducing Combinatorial Reasoning (CR): Icosa Computing's innovative framework for fully-automated prompting. CR samples reasons from an LLM pipeline and transforms them into a Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) problem, optimizing prompt selection and enhancing performance without the need for manual intervention. PS. I included the figure below because it's cool. ??

Our portfolio company, Icosa Computing, has just released its first academic paper in collaboration with NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, USRA, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise. This groundbreaking work introduces Combinatorial Reasoning, an advanced optimization pipeline designed to enhance the reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs). Congratulations to Mert Esencan and the entire Icosa Computing Team. ?? ?? https://lnkd.in/dnbBE-v4

Can Generative AI systems reason? In collaboration with NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, USRA and Hewlett Packard Enterprise, we just released our first academic paper at Icosa Computing to answer that question. Here we describe Combinatorial Reasoning, an optimization pipeline to investigate and improve how Large Language Models (LLMs) do reasoning tasks. Special thanks to Davide Venturelli, Aaron Lott, Ata Akbari Asanjan, and Masoud Mohseni.

Large Language Models (LLMs), like ChatGPT, cannot do reasoning like humans. At Icosa Computing, we created Combinatorial Reasoning: Inducing Human-Like reasoning in LLM pipelines with Combinatorial Optimization. Presented for the first time at the International Workshop on Ising Machines in Messina. Check out our whitepaper with Fujitsu at our website:?https://lnkd.in/dqM62nSS

What an honor to present at a traditional Noh theater in Tokyo. Thank you for the opportunity THE FINTECH CENTER of TOKYO, FINOLAB(フィノラボ), Makoto Shibata, Microsoft, GitHub, Mastercard, and many others. Video: https://lnkd.in/dB9kfeJj
