New Trends in AI-RAG and Graphs. I’ve been doing a bit of research on how to improve RAG with graphs. I’m especially interested in augmenting agentic-RAG with the knowledge graph. A while back, Maya @Neo4j wrote a nice article on The Future of AI: Machine Learning and Knowledge Graphs. I think that makes sense to me. Let me share some new, interesting stuff on RAG and Graphs:Graph RAG. Unlike RAG approaches that focus solely on text-based entity retrieval, GRAG maintains an acute awareness of graph topology, which is crucial for generating contextually and factually coherent responses. The researchers claim that…

Look out below: AI’s double-edged sword slashes Dell, MongoDB, Salesforce and more – SiliconANGLE

Perhaps it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the artificial intelligence boom was never going to be unalloyed good for every enterprise technology provider looking to leverage AI. But this week, investors got a taste of the downside and they didn’t like it, sending stocks of Dell Technologies, MongoDB, Salesforce, UiPath Nutanix, Workday and more plummeting as it became apparent that spending on generative AI technologies such as ChatGPT is stealing budget from other tech spending, at least on the software side. And for Dell, all those AI servers it sold didn’t produce better profits because, as theCUBE Research Chief…

The ASUS ROG Ally X improves on the original in all the right ways

The ASUS ROG Ally X improves on the original in all the right ways

ASUS was the first major PC maker to try its hand at making a gaming handheld. And despite a few issues like a wonky microSD card reader, the succeeded at giving people a powerful way to take their games on the go. But after about a year on the market, ASUS’ portable is getting a major revamp and it feels like it’s becoming the device we wanted all along.Now just to be clear, the Ally X isn’t a true sequel to the original, it’s more of a mid-cycle refresh similar to what back in 2019. Except I’d argue ASUS has…

New AI model could streamline operations in a robotic warehouse

New AI model could streamline operations in a robotic warehouse

Hundreds of robots zip back and forth across the floor of a colossal robotic warehouse, grabbing items and delivering them to human workers for packing and shipping. Such warehouses are increasingly becoming part of the supply chain in many industries, from e-commerce to automotive production. However, getting 800 robots to and from their destinations efficiently while keeping them from crashing into each other is no easy task. It is such a complex problem that even the best path-finding algorithms struggle to keep up with the breakneck pace of e-commerce or manufacturing. In a sense, these robots are like cars trying…

Error v/s Exception

Error v/s Exception

Have you ever been confused between an error and an exception? We often tend to use these words interchangeably. Well, they are not the same, since they have nuanced differences. Let us understand these differences with examples. Error An error usually refers to a condition that hinders a program's normal execution. It can be due to issues like: 1. Syntax Errors Errors which occurs when we have mistakes in our code that prevents the compiler from parsing our program correctly. // Syntax error example: function greet() { console.log("Hello world!"; // SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list } Enter fullscreen mode…

OpenAI relaunches robotics unit four years after shutting it down – SiliconANGLE

OpenAI relaunches robotics unit four years after shutting it down – SiliconANGLE

OpenAI has formed a team to train artificial intelligence models for robots. The ChatGPT developer confirmed Forbes’ Thursday report in a statement. The news comes about four years after OpenAI disbanded a team that researched ways of using AI to teach robots new tasks. Forbes reported that several former members of the team still work at the company, which could ease its effort to reenter the market.  According to a job posting on its website, OpenAI plans to develop a suite of multimodal large language models for robotics use cases. A multimodal model is a neural network that processes not…

RT-2: New model translates vision and language into action

RT-2: New model translates vision and language into action

Research Published 28 July 2023 Authors Yevgen Chebotar, Tianhe Yu Robotic Transformer 2 (RT-2) is a novel vision-language-action (VLA) model that learns from both web and robotics data, and translates this knowledge into generalised instructions for robotic controlHigh-capacity vision-language models (VLMs) are trained on web-scale datasets, making these systems remarkably good at recognising visual or language patterns and operating across different languages. But for robots to achieve a similar level of competency, they would need to collect robot data, first-hand, across every object, environment, task, and situation.In our paper, we introduce Robotic Transformer 2 (RT-2), a novel vision-language-action (VLA) model…
