A foundation model is a large artificial intelligence model trained on a vast quantity of unlabeled data at scale (usually by self-supervised learning) resulting in a model that can be adapted to a wide range of downstream tasks. Foundation models have helped bring about a major transformation in how AI systems are built since their introduction in 2018. Early examples of foundation models were large pre-trained language models including BERT and GPT-3. Using the same ideas, domain specific models using sequences of other kinds of tokens, such as medical codes, have been built as well. Subsequently, several multimodal foundation models have been produced including DALL-E, Flamingo, and Florence. The Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence's (HAI) Center for Research on Foundation Models (CRFM) popularized the term. (Wikipedia).

Higher data structures | Data structures in Mathematics Math Foundations 163
Lists, ordered sets (osets), multisets (msets) and sets are the four key types of data structures. In this video we begin looking at how we can combine these types in a nested fashion, by considering for example lists of lists, or sets of msets etc. This will give us a lot more flexibili

Sets and other data structures | Data Structures in Mathematics Math Foundations 151
In mathematics we often want to organize objects. Sets are not the only way of doing this: there are other data types that are also useful and that can be considered together with set theory. In particular when we group objects together, there are two fundamental questions that naturally a
