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...
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...
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.
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.
