‘People are going to try to steal your secrets’ Dixon warns

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

Kissimmee, Fla. – As U.S. intelligence agencies increase their reliance on commercial geospatial products and services, cybersecurity becomes a growing concern. “We create so many innovative solutions here in this country,” Stacey Dixon, U.S. deputy director of national intelligence, said May 6 at the 2024 GEOINT Symposium here. “Yet we lose a lot of that innovation to adversaries because we aren’t properly protecting it. Invest in your cybersecurity. Understand that people are going to try to steal your secrets.” Potential adversaries will seek access to commercial products directly as well as through intermediaries. Figure out how to prevent that, “because…

Scaling ML Experiments With neptune.ai and Kubernetes

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI

Scaling machine learning (ML) experiments is a challenging process that requires efficient resource management, experiment tracking, and infrastructure scalability. neptune.ai offers a centralized platform to manage ML experiments, track real-time model performance, and store metadata. Kubernetes automates container orchestration, improves resource utilization, and enables horizontal and vertical scalability. Combining neptune.ai and Kubernetes provides a robust solution for scaling ML experiments, making it easier to manage and scale experiments across multiple environments and team members. Scaling machine-learning experiments efficiently is a challenge for ML teams. The complexity lies in managing configurations, launching experiment runs, tracking their outcomes, and optimizing resource allocation.…

Measuring personal growth

stp2y0 CommentsRAG models

My founder friends constantly think about growth. They think about how to measure their business growth and how to get to the next order of magnitude scale. If they’re making $1M ARR today, they think about how to get to $10M ARR. If they have 1,000 users today, they think about how to get to 10,000 users. This made me wonder if/how people are measuring personal growth. I don’t want to use metrics like net worth or the number of followers, because that’s not what I live for. After talking with a lot of friends, I found three interesting metrics:…

Unveiling the Criticality of Red Teaming for Generative AI Governance

stp2y0 CommentsViral News

As generative artificial intelligence (AI) systems become increasingly ubiquitous, their potential impact on society amplifies. These advanced language models possess remarkable capabilities, yet their inherent complexities raise concerns about unintended consequences and potential misuse. Consequently, the evolution of generative AI necessitates robust governance mechanisms to ensure responsible development and deployment. One crucial component of this governance framework is red teaming – a proactive approach to identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities and risks associated with these powerful technologies. Demystifying Red Teaming Red teaming is a cybersecurity practice that simulates real-world adversarial tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to evaluate an organization's defenses and…

FAQ for our Monte Carlo Conformal Prediction • David Stutz

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI

Over the past months, I have given several talks about Monte Carlo conformal prediction and the problem of calibrating with uncertain ground truth, for example, stemming from annotator disagreement. Each time, the audience had great questions and ideas for extensions and interesting applications. In this article, I want to provide a sort of FAQ for our work. Are code and data available? Yes, code and data are on GitHub. Code includes both Monte Carlo conformal prediction as well as the plausibility regions from v1 of the paper. Can you derive the conformal $p$-values used in the paper? The connection of…
