Papers Read on AITrustLLM: Trustworthiness in Large Language ModelsLarge language models (LLMs), exemplified by ChatGPT, have gained considerable attention for their excellent natural language processing capabilities. Nonetheless, these LLMs present many challenges, particularly in the realm of trustworthiness. Therefore, ensuring the trustworthiness of LLMs emerges as an important topic. This paper introduces TrustLLM, a comprehensive study of trustworthiness in LLMs, including principles for different dimensions of trustworthiness, established benchmark, evaluation, and analysis of trustworthiness for mainstream LLMs, and discussion of open challenges and future directions. Specifically, we first propose a set of principles for trustworthy LLMs that span eight different dimensions. Based on these principles, we further establish...2024-04-152h 48

Les Chroniques d'EricJiang Zemin, le dernier des humainsDurant la décennie 1990, la population étrangère avait plutôt la dent dure contre le président de l’époque, Jiang Zemin en qui elle voyait tantôt un dictateur, tantôt un personnage pâle et falot voire un peu ridicule. Mais à présent qu’il vient de décéder, et 19 ans après son départ du pouvoir, ce sont ses qualités qui réémergent, ainsi que l’évaluation de son époque qui rétrospectivement, apparait moins autoritaire et obscurantiste, que dynamique, joyeuse, et plus en paix avec elle-même que dans les temps présent.

C'est aussi l'histoire d'un homme demeuré dépendant de son prédécesseur Jiang Zemin, qui lui avait miné le terrain afin de rester le calife à la place du calife.

Les Chroniques d'Ericbonjour, Monsieur Jiang ZeminPourquoi la Chine, aujourd'hui ultra autoritaire mais qui dans les années '90 tolérait de larges plages de liberté, est-elle devenue si dure avec elle même comme avec les pays étrangers ? Une des réponses tient à Jiang Zemin, président et n°1 du Parti de 1989 à 2003, et l'homme par qui le changement a débuté. Un être complexe, parfois attachant, mais aussi avant tout un tyran, ayant appris sur le tas la règle n°1 du métier : éliminer ses rivaux, et jouer des hommes et des factions pour garder le pouvoir !
