AWS customers in healthcare, finance, and public sectors can now extract valuable insights from documents stored in Amazon S3 using AWS intelligent document processing (IDP) with AI services like Amazon Textract. Two solutions are provided: a Python script for quick processing and a turnkey deployment using AWS CDK for a resilient and flexible IDP pipeline.
Data scientists often overlook the importance of communication. Avoid using technical jargon and instead explain complex concepts in everyday language. Use real-world examples to make abstract ideas more understandable.
LLMs suffer from inaccuracies at scale, hindering enterprise adoption of generative AI. Despite the risks, the transformative potential of generative AI is clear, and organizations must prioritize their data foundation to integrate it effectively.
In 2024, data teams are facing a new reality of being ROI-driven and efficient, with funding and growth declining significantly in recent years. To navigate this, data professionals should seek feedback from stakeholders and address areas for improvement in order to align with business value.
In the early '00s, Geoff Hinton introduced the contrastive divergence algorithm, allowing the training of the restricted Boltzmann machine. Harmoniums, or restricted Boltzmann machines, are neural networks operating on binary data, with visible and hidden units, and are useful for modeling discrete data.
ChatGPT, a large language model, has made significant progress in tool use and reasoning, with researchers equipping it with external tools like code interpreters and search engines, as well as exploring its internal reasoning capacities. The surge in language model papers in 2023 reflects the community's interest and the potential for practical applications.
