This article explores the importance of classical computation in the context of artificial intelligence, highlighting its provable correctness, strong generalization, and interpretability compared to the limitations of deep neural networks. It argues that developing AI systems with these classical computation skills is crucial for building generally-intelligent agents.
The US Federal Trade Commission warns against QR code scams that can take control of smartphones, make fraudulent charges, or obtain personal information. Scammers are targeting QR codes on parking lot kiosks, leading to look-alike sites that funnel funds to fraudulent accounts.
Moonshine Studio's 3D artist, Eric Chiang, creates an AI-powered virtual assistant named NANA using GPU-accelerated features and a GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card. NVIDIA Studio Drivers now support Reallusion iClone AccuFACE plugin and other enhancements, while the #WinterArtChallenge invites artists to share their winter-themed creations for a chance to be featured.
Vodafone is transforming into a TechCo by 2025, with plans to have 50% of its workforce involved in software development and deliver 60% of digital services in-house. To support this transition, Vodafone has partnered with Accenture and AWS to build a cloud platform and engaged in an AWS DeepRacer challenge to enhance their machine learning skills.
LLMs like Llama 2, Flan T5, and Bloom are essential for conversational AI use cases, but updating their knowledge requires retraining, which is time-consuming and expensive. However, with Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) using Amazon Sagemaker JumpStart and Pinecone vector database, LLMs can be deployed and kept up to date with relevant information to prevent AI Hallucination.
The article explores common data clustering techniques, with a focus on spectral clustering. Using k-means to compute cluster labels from eigenvectors is found to be the best approach, despite variations and complexities.
Conversational AI has evolved with generative AI and large language models, but lacks specialized knowledge for accurate answers. Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) connects generic models to internal knowledge bases, enabling domain-specific AI assistants. Amazon Kendra and OpenSearch Service offer mature vector search solutions for implementing RAG, but analytical reasoning questions requir...
GeForce NOW adds 17 new games, including The Day Before and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, with over 500 games now supporting RTX ON. Ultimate members can experience cinematic ray tracing and stream at up to 4K resolution, while Priority members can build and survive at 1080p and 60fps.
Large language models (LLMs) like GPT NeoX and Pythia are gaining popularity, with billions of parameters and impressive performance. Training these models on AWS Trainium is cost-effective and efficient, thanks to optimizations like rotational positional embedding (ROPE) and partial rotation techniques.
Spectral clustering is a complex machine learning technique that uncovers patterns in data. Implementing it involves computing affinity and Laplacian matrices, eigenvector embeddings, and performing k-means clustering.
Mathew Schwartz, an assistant professor at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, is using NVIDIA Omniverse and OpenUSD to help designers address the challenge of accessibility in building design. Schwartz's team developed open-source code that generates a complex accessibility graph, providing feedback on human movement and energy expenditure. With Omniverse, designers can visualize the graph...
The article discusses the launch of ChatGPT and the rise in popularity of generative AI. It highlights the creation of a web UI called Chat Studio to interact with foundation models in Amazon SageMaker JumpStart, including Llama 2 and Stable Diffusion. This solution allows users to quickly experience conversational AI and enhance the user experience with media integration.
