The Washington Post Tells Staff It’s Pivoting to AI

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT
Already facing scandal, the Washington Post's new-ish CEO and publisher, Will Lewis, has announced that the newspaper will be pivoting to artificial intelligence to turn around its dismal financial situation.As Semafor media industry editor Max Tani tweeted, Lewis told Post staffers today that the newspaper will be looking for ways to use AI in its reporting as it seeks to recoup some of the $77 million it lost last year."To speak candidly: We are in a hole, and we have been for some time," the CEO said, per an announcement. "This is all repairable, all doable, particularly if we do it…

The Foundation Model Development Cheatsheet

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
The pace of foundation model releases and progress has continued to grow rapidly over the past few years, with many new models released from organizations of all kinds worldwide. In addition to releasing models themselves, it's also important to make the tools to create these models - large-scale training libraries, data processing and creation tooling, and more - widely available. In April 2023 we released the Pythia model suite, the first LLMs with a fully released and reproducible technical pipeline from start to finish. We are excited to see other organizations following suit, with the LLM360 project releasing Amber later…

Six Nerdy AI Activities for the Long W/E. I’ve just read that lots of AI engineers in the US are running the rate race, feeling burnout. Here in the European AI scene things are innately a bit more relaxed.Aah… A long bank holiday in London; so much stuff to do in this amazing city! But if you are feeling the AI FOMO kick and can’t survive a long weekend IRL, here are six AI activities for you:Generate comics with AI. I gave it a go, generated a few short comics, and having fun so far. The AI team at Bytedance…

BeAble Capital invests €174K in Ecogranular’s wastewater treatment tech

stp2y0 CommentsNews
Spanish private equity fund BeAble Capital has invested €174,000 in Ecogranular, a spin-off of the University of Granada, whose technology aims to transfer wastewater treatment, reducing the water footprint and operating expenses and raising the quality of our waters. One of the biggest challenges that cities face is to optimally manage wastewater treatment, minimising energy expenditure while reducing its impact on the environment.  Ecogranular has developed a new technology that, for the first time, allows granular biomass to be used continuously, which will greatly facilitate its implementation in water purification stations. The tech minimises the loss of biomass inside the…

Geospatial intelligence gets smart

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency is injecting machine learning and computer vision across its operations, from the battlefield to the highest levels of geopolitical analysis. The agency is harnessing rapidly evolving artificial intelligence technologies to help military leaders see what’s happening on the battlefield in more detail and give policymakers a better understanding of global threats and dynamics. “We’re very excited about the trajectory of AI applications,” NGA’s director, Vice Adm. Frank Whitworth, said in an interview with SpaceNews. Whitworth said a convergence of rapidly advancing AI capabilities and revised business processes is reshaping how the agency provides intelligence to inform…

How to Optimize Hyperparameter Search Using Bayesian Optimization and Optuna

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
Hyperparameter optimization is an integral part of machine learning. It aims to find the best set of hyperparameter values to achieve the best model performance. Grid search and random search are popular hyperparameter tuning methods. They roam around the entire search space to get the best set of hyperparameters, which makes them time-consuming and inefficient for larger datasets. Based on Bayesian logic, Bayesian optimization considers the model performance for previous hyperparameter combinations while determining the next set of hyperparameters to evaluate. Optuna is a popular tool for Bayesian hyperparameter optimization. It provides easy-to-use algorithms, automatic algorithm selection, integrations with a…
