Neo4j CTO says new Graph Query Language standard will have ‘massive ripple effects’ – SiliconANGLE

stp2y0 CommentsGenAINeo4j CTO says new Graph Query Language standard will have 'massive ripple effects', Paul Gillin, SiliconANGLE

The International Standards Organization’s publication of a standard for the Graph Query Language earlier this month generated relatively little media interest, but executives at graph database makers were turning virtual cartwheels in the halls. The GQL standard is the first to be ratified by the ISO since Structured Query Language in 1986. The 600-page document defines the rules for “creating, accessing, querying, maintaining, and controlling property graphs and the data they comprise.” A property graph is a type of data structure used primarily in graph databases and graph processing frameworks. It consists of nodes and edges that represent relationships that…

Microsoft Copilot Cheat Sheet: Benefits, Price and Versions

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI

Microsoft Copilot, with its integration into Windows, Bing, 365, Azure, and Server, is purported to be the AI that unlocks the creative and productive potential of an organization’s people and data. What is Microsoft Copilot? Microsoft Copilot is an AI product that combines the power of large language models with in-house enterprise data generated by the Microsoft Graph and Microsoft 365 applications. Using the power of AI and natural language conversations, users can find better answers to their questions and potentially create content from those answers. Copilot was developed on the ChatGPT platform and announced as an in-development platform at…

3D printing robot creates extreme shock-absorbing shape, with help of AI

stp2y0 CommentsGenAIRobotics Research; Engineering and Construction; Materials Science; Engineering; Robotics; Artificial Intelligence; Hacking; Computers and Internet

Inside a lab in Boston University's College of Engineering, a robot arm drops small, plastic objects into a box placed perfectly on the floor to catch them as they fall. One by one, these tiny structures -- feather-light, cylindrical pieces, no bigger than an inch tall -- fill the box. Some are red, others blue, purple, green, or black. Each object is the result of an experiment in robot autonomy. On its own, learning as it goes, the robot is searching for, and trying to make, an object with the most efficient energy-absorbing shape to ever exist. To do this,…

Adobe Adds an AI-Powered Eraser to Lightroom

stp2y0 CommentsGenAIadobe, apps, artificial intelligence, photography, software

Photo bombing is dead. Adobe is adding an artificial-intelligence-powered Generative Remove feature to its Lightroom photo editor that makes it dead simple to zap out unwanted elements, like that annoying guy in the background. The new feature is in a public beta-testing phase, but it will work across the Lightroom ecosystem whether you're using the app on mobile, desktop, or web.Lightroom's Generative Remove uses Adobe's Firefly AI engine to smoothly replace unwanted elements. Simply paint over the area you want to remove and Lightroom will send that information to Adobe's Firefly servers, which then crunch the data and send 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…

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…

On NeurIPS’ High School Paper Track • David Stutz

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI

The decision to have a separate High School Project Track at NeurIPS 2024 has sparked quite some controversy, with many prominent AI researchers debating pros and cons and personal opinions, primarily on X/Twitter. Initially, I ignored this discussion, but eventually started thinking about it myself. Here are some of my thoughts. A short disclaimer is necessary before diving in: the below is a rather personal opinion on the subject — driven by my personal experiences in AI research. As such, it is not meant to blame, contradict or discredit anyone or anything. Instead it is an attempt to add color.…

AI-powered metadata: Informatica’s role in the future of data management – SiliconANGLE

stp2y0 CommentsGenAIAI-powered metadata: Informatica’s role in the future of data management, Guest Author, SiliconANGLE

The journey to AI-integrated metadata systems As theCUBE Research has been tracking, the transformation of data management systems has been gradual yet profound. Over the past decade, organizations have increasingly recognized the value of separating computational power from data storage, leading to more centralized data consolidation and management. Informatica Inc., a data integration and management leader since the 1990s, has evolved into a comprehensive data management platform that integrates artificial intelligence and metadata to enhance data utilization across various industries. Challenges of using AI in metadata integration As we have discussed in past articles about the Sixth Data Platform and…

Microsoft Build 2024: Copilot AI Gains ‘Personal Assistant’ Capabilities

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI

Following the announcements of Copilot+ enabled AI PCs at the Microsoft Build developer event on May 20, Microsoft released new developer tools, enhancements to Microsoft Azure AI and new enterprise options for Copilot. GitHub Copilot received a lengthy list of new capabilities enabled by first- and third-party services. Meanwhile, reactions to the AI memory feature Recall include some backlash against its observation of all of the user’s activity. Recall, announced at Microsoft Build on May 20, makes any activity on a Microsoft AI PC searchable, allowing the user to ask natural language questions and receive answers from across all of…

Building a better sarcasm detector

stp2y0 CommentsGenAICommunications; Artificial Intelligence; Computational Biology; Information Technology; Computer Modeling; Statistics; Computer Programming; Mathematical Modeling

Oscar Wilde once said that sarcasm was the lowest form of wit, but the highest form of intelligence. Perhaps that is due to how difficult it is to use and understand. Sarcasm is notoriously tricky to convey through text -- even in person, it can be easily misinterpreted. The subtle changes in tone that convey sarcasm often confuse computer algorithms as well, limiting virtual assistants and content analysis tools. Xiyuan Gao, Shekhar Nayak, and Matt Coler of Speech Technology Lab at the University of Groningen, Campus Fryslân developed a multimodal algorithm for improved sarcasm detection that examines multiple aspects of…
