Long Context Language Models and their Biological Applications with Eric Nguyen - #690
The TWIML AI Podcast (formerly This Week in Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence) · Jun 25, 2024 · 46 min
Today, we're joined by Eric Nguyen, PhD student at Stanford University. In our conversation, we explore his research on long context foundation models and their application to biology particularly Hyena, and its evolution into Hyena DNA and Evo models. We discuss Hyena, a convolutional-based language model developed to tackle the challenges posed by long context lengths in language modeling. We…
