Knowledge Bases for Amazon Bedrock now supports advanced parsing, chunking, and query reformulation giving greater control of accuracy in RAG based applications | Amazon Web Services

Knowledge Bases for Amazon Bedrock is a fully managed service that helps you implement the entire Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) workflow from ingestion to retrieval and prompt augmentation without having to build custom integrations to data sources and manage data flows, pushing the boundaries for what you can do in your RAG workflows. However, it’s important to note that in RAG-based applications, when dealing with large or complex input text documents, such as PDFs or .txt files, querying the indexes might yield subpar results. For example, a document might have complex semantic relationships in its sections or tables that require…

First Democratic senator calls for Biden to drop out of the race

First Democratic senator calls for Biden to drop out of the race

Sen. Peter Welch, a Vermont Democrat, called on President Joe Biden to drop out of the 2024 election in a Wednesday Washington Post op-ed, becoming the first Senate Democrat to publicly urge Biden to end his reelection campaign.Welch cited Biden's "disastrous debate performance" and the "valid questions" people have about the president's fitness for office at 81 years old."I understand why President Biden wants to run. He saved us from Donald Trump once and wants to do it again," Welch wrote. "But he needs to reassess whether he is the best candidate to do so. In my view, he is…

Understanding Cloud Computing: A Beginner’s Guide

Understanding Cloud Computing: A Beginner’s Guide

In today's digital age, businesses and individuals alike are increasingly turning to cloud computing to meet their computing needs. But what exactly is cloud computing, and what makes it so beneficial? Let's explore the basics, its advantages, and the different models it offers. What is Cloud Computing? At its core, cloud computing is the delivery of various services over the Internet. These services include storage, databases, servers, networking, software, and more. Instead of owning physical hardware and software, users access these resources remotely, typically through a service provider. This means that data and applications are stored on remote servers, or…

A Generative Approach to Control Complex Physical Systems

A Generative Approach to Control Complex Physical Systems

arXiv:2407.06494v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Controlling the evolution of complex physical systems is a fundamental task across science and engineering. Classical techniques suffer from limited applicability or huge computational costs. On the other hand, recent deep learning and reinforcement learning-based approaches often struggle to optimize long-term control sequences under the constraints of system dynamics. In this work, we introduce Diffusion Physical systems Control (DiffPhyCon), a new class of method to address the physical systems control problem. DiffPhyCon excels by simultaneously minimizing both the learned generative energy function and the predefined control objectives across the entire trajectory and control sequence. Thus,…

Leveraging image captions for selective whole slide image annotation

Leveraging image captions for selective whole slide image annotation

arXiv:2407.06363v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Acquiring annotations for whole slide images (WSIs)-based deep learning tasks, such as creating tissue segmentation masks or detecting mitotic figures, is a laborious process due to the extensive image size and the significant manual work involved in the annotation. This paper focuses on identifying and annotating specific image regions that optimize model training, given a limited annotation budget. While random sampling helps capture data variance by collecting annotation regions throughout the WSIs, insufficient data curation may result in an inadequate representation of minority classes. Recent studies proposed diversity sampling to select a set of regions…

Amazon Ramps Up Security to Head Off Project Nimbus Protests

Amazon Ramps Up Security to Head Off Project Nimbus Protests

Amazon appeared to have significantly heightened security for its New York Amazon Web Services Summit on Wednesday, two weeks after a number of activists disrupted the Washington, DC, AWS Summit in protest against Project Nimbus, Amazon and Google’s $1.2 billion cloud computing contract with the Israeli government. The clampdown in New York quelled several activists’ plans to interrupt the keynote speech from Matt Wood, the vice president for AI products at AWS.Amazon allowed only approved individuals to attend the keynote speech. The activists, who had registered online to attend, all received emails ahead of the conference informing them that they…

Boomer dad, who is 6 months away from retirement, has already started gifting his Gen X and millennial kids their inheritance

MJ, a 68-year-old government employee in Alberta, Canada, has already started passing on his wealth to his four adult kids, even though he's still six months away from retirement and plans to live to a "ripe old age."MJ, who asked to go by initials for privacy reasons, told Business Insider his mindset shifted a few years ago when he read the 2020 book "Die with Zero" by Bill Perkins."The book stresses kids typically will need help from late twenties to 40, when they're dealing with house down payments and mortgages and kids and all of those things that go along…

Report finds most subscription services manipulate customers with ‘dark patterns’

Report finds most subscription services manipulate customers with ‘dark patterns’

Most subscription sites use "dark patterns" to influence customer behavior around subscriptions and personal data, according to a pair of new reports from global consumer protection groups. Dark patterns are "practices commonly found in online user interfaces [that] steer, deceive, coerce or manipulate consumers into making choices that often are not in their best interests." The international research efforts were conducted by the International Consumer Protection and Enforcement Network (ICPEN) and the Global Privacy Enforcement Network (GPEN).The ICPEN conducted the of 642 websites and mobile apps with a subscription component. The assessment revealed one dark pattern in use at almost…
