Inference Task

Inference tasks, encompassing the process of deriving conclusions from data or premises, are a central focus in machine learning, particularly within natural language processing and computer vision. Current research emphasizes improving the efficiency and accuracy of inference, focusing on model architectures like transformers and graph neural networks, and employing techniques such as chain-of-thought prompting, contrastive learning, and Bayesian inference to address challenges like bias, hallucination, and computational cost. These advancements have significant implications for various applications, including question answering, knowledge base construction, and real-time decision-making in resource-constrained environments.
