Show HN: Proxy Block-CAGE, a new sparse block attention A PhD student in bioinformatics used ChatGPT and genetic algorithms to develop Proxy Block-CAGE, a new sparse block attention method for transformers, aiming to reduce computational intensity. The work is shared on Hacker News for feedback from the AI/ML research community. Hi, I'm a PhD student in Bioinformatics/Computational Biology with a software engineering background, I'm trying to pivot toward AI/ML research. I'm familiar with the practical side of AI as in using, Scikit learn, R, Pytorch, ONNX Runtime etc... I was thinking if LLMs could be used as a research assistant to create better AIML algorithms. So I asked ChatGPT to help find better way to solved one of the most computationally intensive problems in Transformer architecture based model. I instructed ChatGPT to use genetic algorithms, genetic programming and other optimization techniques Something I use extensively in my bioinformatics research to find better Attention methods in transformers and this was the result. I would love to get feedback and comments from the AIML research community. Please read the md file and get back to me. Hope you find this useful.
