Artificial intelligence startup DataRobot Inc. today announced updates to its generative AI offering that will give businesses and developers observability features with real-time intervention capabilities to increase confidence when running models in production environments. The new capabilities allow enterprise teams to manage generative AI models running in all environments, including cloud, on-premises and the cloud, to execute them in production confidently while managing risk. The company said the new cross-environment AI observability will provide teams unified governance for all predictive and generative AI assets. “The No. 1 thing that I hear when I talk to customers is what we call the confidence problem,” Chief Technology Officer Michael Schmidt told…

Anthropic’s Generative AI Research Reveals More About How LLMs Affect Security and Bias

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI

Because large language models operate using neuron-like structures that may link many different concepts and modalities together, it can be difficult for AI developers to adjust their models to change the models’ behavior. If you don’t know what neurons connect what concepts, you won’t know which neurons to change. On May 21, Anthropic created a remarkably detailed map of the inner workings of the fine-tuned version of its Claude 3 Sonnet 3.0 model. With this map, the researchers can explore how neuron-like data points, called features, affect a generative AI’s output. Otherwise, people are only able to see the output…

Research at Uppsala University and Karolinska Institutet could pave the way for a prosthetic hand and robot to be able to feel touch like a human hand. Their study has been published in the journal Science. The technology could also be used to help restore lost functionality to patients after a stroke. "Our system can determine what type of object it encounters as fast as a blindfolded person, just by feeling it and deciding whether it is a tennis ball or an apple, for example," says Zhibin Zhang, docent at the Department of Electrical Engineering at Uppsala University. He and…

VCs Have Mostly Shut The Door On Smart Homes

stp2y0 CommentsRAG models

Startup investors have not done especially well betting on smart homes. Over the years, a growing number of well-funded companies have folded or failed to thrive betting on adoption of connected-home technologies such as smart windows, lighting, security systems and kitchens. And the misses continue. Earlier this month, smart-home upstart Brilliant disclosed that it laid off its entire staff while it seeks a buyer. Founded in 2015, the San Mateo, California-based company had raised $64 million in venture funding to scale an in-wall control system for lighting, doorbells, locks, cameras and other home systems. A month earlier, View, a maker…

Score-CDM: Score-Weighted Convolutional Diffusion Model for Multivariate Time Series Imputation

stp2y0 CommentsViral News

arXiv:2405.13075v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multivariant time series (MTS) data are usually incomplete in real scenarios, and imputing the incomplete MTS is practically important to facilitate various time series mining tasks. Recently, diffusion model-based MTS imputation methods have achieved promising results by utilizing CNN or attention mechanisms for temporal feature learning. However, it is hard to adaptively trade off the diverse effects of local and global temporal features by simply combining CNN and attention. To address this issue, we propose a Score-weighted Convolutional Diffusion Model (Score-CDM for short), whose backbone consists of a Score-weighted Convolution Module (SCM) and an Adaptive…

Ten Noteworthy AI Research Papers of 2023

stp2y0 CommentsAI

This year has felt distinctly different. I've been working in, on, and with machine learning and AI for over a decade, yet I can't recall a time when these fields were as popular and rapidly evolving as they have been this year.To conclude an eventful 2023 in machine learning and AI research, I'm excited to share 10 noteworthy papers I've read this year. My personal focus has been more on large language models, so you'll find a heavier emphasis on large language model (LLM) papers than computer vision papers this year.I resisted labeling this article "Top AI Research Papers of…
