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.
Data projects often fail to deliver real-life impact due to macro-elements such as data availability, skillset, timeframe, organizational readiness, and political environment. The availability and accessibility of relevant data are fundamental, and if data is unattainable, the feasibility of the project should be reconsidered.
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.
Summarization is essential in our data-driven world, saving time and improving decision-making. It has various applications, including news aggregation, legal document summarization, and financial analysis. With advancements in NLP and AI, techniques like extractive and abstractive summarization are becoming more accessible and effective.
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...
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.
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.
LM Studio is a tool that allows local machine usage of large language models like GPT-x, LLaMA-x, and Orca-x, offering a clean and intuitive UI for exploring models and conducting reasoning tasks. However, its creator and potential connections with other companies remain unclear.
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.
