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...
MLOps is essential for integrating machine learning models into existing systems, and Amazon SageMaker offers features like Pipelines and Model Registry to simplify the process. This article provides a step-by-step implementation for creating custom project templates that integrate with GitHub and GitHub Actions, allowing for efficient collaboration and deployment of ML models.
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.
Generative AI and large language models dominated enterprise trends this year, with companies like Amdocs, Dropbox, and SAP building customized applications using RAG and LLMs. Open-source pretrained models are set to revolutionize businesses' operational strategies, while off-the-shelf AI and microservices make it easier for developers to create complex applications.
Mistral AI announces Mixtral 8x7B, an AI language model that matches OpenAI's GPT-3.5 in performance, bringing us closer to having a ChatGPT-3.5-level AI assistant that can run locally. Mistral's models have open weights and fewer restrictions than those from OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google.
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.
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.
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.
The rise of AI-powered text-to-image generation has resulted in a flood of low-quality images, causing skepticism and misdirection. However, a new phenomenon of AI-powered text-to-CAD generation has emerged, with major players like Autodesk, Google, OpenAI, and NVIDIA leading the way.
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...
Getir, the ultrafast grocery delivery pioneer, has implemented an end-to-end workforce management system using Amazon Forecast and AWS Step Functions, resulting in a 70% reduction in modelling time and a 90% improvement in prediction accuracy. This comprehensive project calculates courier requirements and solves the shift assignment problem, optimizing shift schedules and minimizing missed orders.
Tesla releases demo video of its Optimus Gen 2 humanoid robot, showcasing significant hardware improvements. Skepticism remains after recent AI demonstration controversies.
Dropbox faces backlash after enabling a default setting that shares user data with OpenAI for AI-powered search, but assures data is only shared when actively used and is deleted within 30 days. CEO Drew Houston apologizes for customer confusion and emphasizes that no customer data is automatically sent to third-party AI services.
