Streamline insurance underwriting with generative AI using Amazon Bedrock – Part 1 | Amazon Web Services

Underwriting is a fundamental function within the insurance industry, serving as the foundation for risk assessment and management. Underwriters are responsible for evaluating insurance applications, determining the level of risk associated with each applicant, and making decisions on whether to accept or reject the application based on the insurer’s guidelines and risk appetite. In this post, we discuss how to use AWS generative artificial intelligence (AI) solutions like Amazon Bedrock to improve the underwriting process, including rule validation, underwriting guidelines adherence, and decision justification. We’ve also provided an accompanying GitHub repo so you can try the solution. The underwriting process…

DDU-Net: A Domain Decomposition-based CNN on Multiple GPUs

DDU-Net: A Domain Decomposition-based CNN on Multiple GPUs

[Submitted on 31 Jul 2024] View a PDF of the paper titled DDU-Net: A Domain Decomposition-based CNN on Multiple GPUs, by Corn'e Verburg and 2 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:The segmentation of ultra-high resolution images poses challenges such as loss of spatial information or computational inefficiency. In this work, a novel approach that combines encoder-decoder architectures with domain decomposition strategies to address these challenges is proposed. Specifically, a domain decomposition-based U-Net (DDU-Net) architecture is introduced, which partitions input images into non-overlapping patches that can be processed independently on separate devices. A communication network is added to facilitate inter-patch…

Table-Filling via Mean Teacher for Cross-domain Aspect Sentiment Triplet Extraction

Table-Filling via Mean Teacher for Cross-domain Aspect Sentiment Triplet Extraction

arXiv:2407.21052v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cross-domain Aspect Sentiment Triplet Extraction (ASTE) aims to extract fine-grained sentiment elements from target domain sentences by leveraging the knowledge acquired from the source domain. Due to the absence of labeled data in the target domain, recent studies tend to rely on pre-trained language models to generate large amounts of synthetic data for training purposes. However, these approaches entail additional computational costs associated with the generation process. Different from them, we discover a striking resemblance between table-filling methods in ASTE and two-stage Object Detection (OD) in computer vision, which inspires us to revisit the cross-domain…

To Lead in AI, the US Needs a Silicon Revolution

To Lead in AI, the US Needs a Silicon Revolution

One thing that US politicians seem to agree on, despite a great many other differences, is that the country needs to lead technologically to maintain a position of economic and geopolitical preeminence. How to ensure such leadership will be a critical question for the next US president and his or her staff.The past two administrations have taken some extraordinary steps to maintain an edge in both chipmaking and AI, two fields that are inextricably and intricately entwined. The US and its allies have restricted exports of cutting-edge chips and silicon-manufacturing equipment to key geopolitical rivals (aka China). In 2022, the…

Align Budget Planning To Accelerate Performance In 2025

Align Budget Planning To Accelerate Performance In 2025

After a wait-and-see approach in 2024, business and technology leaders are gearing up to spend. A resilient global economy and expected growth in 2025 are spurring optimism despite still-elevated interest rates, tight labor markets, and the uncertain impacts of many of this year’s elections. In our recent global survey of 2,200 business and technology decision-makers, leaders across most functions and industries told us that they anticipate budget increases, albeit modest ones. Upbeat budget expectations will serve leaders well as they build more substantial and intentional plans to create customer value and deliver business results. But they will also need to…

Meta’s AI strategy: Building for tomorrow, not immediate profits

Meta has signalled a long-term AI strategy that prioritises substantial investments over immediate revenue generation. During the company’s Q2 earnings call, CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg outlined Meta’s vision for the future and emphasised the need for extensive computational resources to support their AI initiatives. Zuckerberg revealed that Meta is “planning for the compute clusters and data we’ll need for the next several years,” with a particular focus on their next AI model, Llama 4. The company anticipates that training Llama 4 will require “almost 10x more” computing power than its predecessor, Llama 3, which is believed to have used…

Robocars promise to improve traffic even when most of the cars around them are driven by people, study finds

Robotic vehicles can optimize the flow of traffic in cities even when mixed in with vehicles driven by humans, thereby improving traffic efficiency, safety and energy consumption, my colleagues and I found. Robot vehicles are no longer a sci-fi concept: Cities around the world have been testing autonomous robotaxis since 2016. With the increasing presence of robot vehicles in traffic and the foreseeable long period of transitioning from mixed traffic to fully autonomous traffic, my team and I wondered whether robot vehicles and their interactions with human-driven vehicles can alleviate today’s notorious traffic problems. I am a computer scientist who…
