As the wave of interest in Large Language Models (LLMs) surges, many developers and organisations are busy building applications harnessing their power. However, when the pre-trained LLMs out of the box don’t perform as expected or hoped, the question on how to improve the performance of the LLM application. And eventually we get to the point of where we ask ourselves: Should … [Read more...] about RAG vs Finetuning — Which Is the Best Tool to Boost Your LLM Application?

What ChatGPT Knows about You: OpenAI’s Journey Towards Data Privacy
After all the concerns raised by ChatGPT’s data outage on the past 20th of March, we quickly observed some reactions from the outside world. The most forceful one? Italy banning ChatGPT for data privacy concerns. Nearly one month after the incident, OpenAI has already taken some actions regarding user data privacy: The possibility to turn off the chat history … [Read more...] about What ChatGPT Knows about You: OpenAI’s Journey Towards Data Privacy
4 Approaches To Natural Language Processing & Understanding
In 1971, Terry Winograd wrote the SHRDLU program while completing his PhD at MIT. SHRDLU features a world of toy blocks where the computer translates human commands into physical actions, such as “move the red pyramid next to the blue cube.” To succeed in such tasks, the computer must build up semantic knowledge iteratively, a process Winograd discovered was brittle and … [Read more...] about 4 Approaches To Natural Language Processing & Understanding

This Algorithm Predicts If You’ll Vote Democrat or Republican
As demonstrated from the polling failures from our last elections, human-driven statistical analysis is prone to bias, overconfidence, and errors. Perhaps computer algorithms can do a better job of accurately predicting political bias? One unique approach, from renowned computer vision expert Fei Fei Li, applies deep learning to Google Street View data and … [Read more...] about This Algorithm Predicts If You’ll Vote Democrat or Republican
What Salesforce Einstein Teaches Us About Enterprise AI
Every business has customers. Every customer needs care. That’s why CRM is so critical to enterprises, but between incomplete data and clunky workflows, sales and marketing operations at most companies are less-than-optimal. At the same time, companies who aren’t Google or Facebook don’t have the billion dollar R&D budgets to build out A.I. teams to take away our … [Read more...] about What Salesforce Einstein Teaches Us About Enterprise AI
Outsource Your Boring Back Office Paperwork To AI
There seems to be no end to what artificial intelligence can do. After thrashing humans at sophisticated games like chess and go, AI’s next conquest appears to be the workplace. Many already hold jobs at forward-looking companies across industries. Some work as customer service reps, translators and financial analysts. Others serve as lawyers, surgeons and chefs.

Why Building Social Robots Is Much Harder Than You Think
Social robots stole the show at CES in Vegas this year. Dozens of offerings were on display, ranging from robots that tutor you in physics (Einstein), queue up your favorite recipes (Mykie), and even help autistic children socialize (Leka). Unlike your moody human friends, these robots promise to be available day and night, ever accommodating, and practically omniscient … [Read more...] about Why Building Social Robots Is Much Harder Than You Think
The Opportunities & Challenges of AI In Healthcare
When we asked dozens of venture capitalists where they see the most potential for applied artificial intelligence, they unanimously agreed on healthcare. Technology has already been used to incrementally improve patient medical records, care delivery, diagnostic accuracy, and drug development, but with A.I. we could achieve exponential breakthroughs. Deep learning first … [Read more...] about The Opportunities & Challenges of AI In Healthcare
