Low accuracy (~50%) with SSL (BYOL/MAE/VICReg) on hyperspectral crop stress data — what am I missing? [R]

The content details a persistent problem with achieving low accuracy (~50%) using self-supervised learning methods like BYOL, MAE, and VICReg for hyperspectral crop stress detection. Despite trying various techniques, performance remains barely better than random for three classes, leading to suspicions about data separability or SSL method suitability.

Serialisation Strategy Matters: How FHIR Data Format Affects LLM Medication Reconciliation

This study systematically compares four FHIR data serialisation strategies for LLM-assisted medication reconciliation, showing a significant impact on performance for smaller models. Clinical Narrative outperformed Raw JSON for models up to 8B parameters, but this advantage reversed for the 70B model.

Improving Quantized Model Performance in Qualitative Analysis with Multi-Pass Prompt Verification

This research examines how various lower-bit quantization levels impact LLaMA-3.1's performance in qualitative analysis, noting that low-bit models often produce hallucinations. It proposes a quantization-aware multi-pass prompt verification method to enhance accuracy by systematically reducing hallucinations and filtering unreliable content.

How Far Can a Small Coding Model Go With a Better Harness?

The article explores the performance of a small coding model (GPT-5.1-Codex-Mini) on Terminal-Bench 2.0, achieving a 61.6% score by optimizing its "harness" rather than swapping for a larger model. It highlights that the model's wrapper plays a crucial role in performance, especially evident when using smaller models where harness mistakes have a greater impact.

Most people starting with local LLMs jump straight to 4-bit quantization because it's fast and uses

This article compares 16-bit, 8-bit, and 4-bit LLM quantization, revealing that 4-bit, while faster, significantly compromises quality on reasoning and math tasks. The real trade-off is between the task and required precision, with 8-bit being optimal for precision-demanding tasks, offering minimal quality loss with only a slight speed reduction. Quantization choice should be based on the task and hardware considerations, not solely on hardware.
