Dremio throws its support to Polaris data catalog and expands deployment options for Iceberg lakehouse – SiliconANGLE

Dremio Corp., the developer of a data lakehouse platform based on the Apache Iceberg table format, today is throwing its support behind the Polaris data catalog that cloud data warehousing firm Snowflake Inc. released to open source in June. The move is an important third-party endorsement for Snowflake, battling rival Databricks Inc. to become the platform of choice for artificial intelligence development on top of the open-source Apache Iceberg file system. Dremio said it would also support Databricks’ rival Unity Catalog managed service, but its endorsement was less full-throated than for Snowflake. Over time, Dremio said it intends to adopt…

A faster, better way to train general-purpose robots

A faster, better way to train general-purpose robots

In the classic cartoon "The Jetsons," Rosie the robotic maid seamlessly switches from vacuuming the house to cooking dinner to taking out the trash. But in real life, training a general-purpose robot remains a major challenge. Typically, engineers collect data that are specific to a certain robot and task, which they use to train the robot in a controlled environment. However, gathering these data is costly and time-consuming, and the robot will likely struggle to adapt to environments or tasks it hasn't seen before. To train better general-purpose robots, MIT researchers developed a versatile technique that combines a huge amount…

Process mining: EY provides improved insights and RPA.- SiliconANGLE

Eversource Energy’s automation journey shows that companies can reinvigorate operations and employee experiences through intelligent automation. By addressing backlogs, adopting process mining and reducing manual work, Eversource has transformed its business practices and customer interactions, according to Rockie Solomon (pictured, left), manager of enterprise automation at Eversource Energy. Eversource’s Rockie Solomon and EY’s Jamaal Stanford discuss process mining and RPA’s enterprise value. “We had processes that would stack up for quite a bit of time and ultimately were costing us a bit of money,” Solomon said. “That was our introduction to automation. When you see work piling up, that’s frustrating. That’s when we partnered…

OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Search, a Direct Competitor to Google

OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Search, a Direct Competitor to Google

ChatGPT Plus subscribers, Team subscribers, and SearchGPT waitlist members can use OpenAI’s generative search engine starting today, the AI giant announced on Oct. 31. That might be a Halloween scare for Google Search, as OpenAI directly targets pulling users away from Google’s algorithm. OpenAI created a Chrome extension to set ChatGPT search as the browser’s default search engine. ChatGPT search also competes with Microsoft’s Bing Chat in the Bing search engine. ChatGPT search will open up to enterprise and education users “in the next few weeks,” OpenAI said in a blog post. Free tier users will see the new functionality…

New methods for whale tracking and rendezvous using autonomous robots

New methods for whale tracking and rendezvous using autonomous robots

Project CETI (Cetacean Translation Initiative) aims to collect millions to billions of high-quality, highly contextualized vocalizations in order to understand how sperm whales communicate. But finding the whales and knowing where they will surface to capture the data is challenging -- making it difficult to attach listening devices and collect visual information. Today, a Project CETI research team led by Stephanie Gil, Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), have proposed a new reinforcement learning framework with autonomous drones to find sperm whales and predict where they will surface.…

Precision robotics offers hope for heart disease treatment

Precision robotics offers hope for heart disease treatment

An advanced robotic system at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) is changing the way physicians and scientists approach treatments for heart disease. Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is a leading cause of sudden cardiac death among young adults. Without any treatment, a heart transplant remains the only curative option for those living with the inherited condition. Now, a research team led by Dr. Jason Maynes at SickKids and Drs. Yu Sun and Xinyu Liu from the University of Toronto (U of T) Robotics Institute have developed a robotic technology that allows scientists to test numerous potential therapeutics, simultaneously, in this condition…

ChatGPT’s AI Search Tool Is Now Available

OpenAI just launched its AI search update for ChatGPT. Three months after the company’s initial announcement of a SearchGPT prototype, OpenAI’s vision for the future of AI search is now available to the public.“We're focused on making ChatGPT the best place to answer any question, including live information from the web,” says Adam Fry, the product lead for search on ChatGPT. Referred to by Fry as “ChatGPT search” rather than “SearchGPT,” the feature enters an increasingly crowded and contentious field of AI search options for users—with competition from smaller startups, like Perplexity, as well as tech giants, like Google with…
