Introducing Dell’s Data Lakehouse platform for enterprises – SiliconANGLE

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI, ,
Today’s businesses generate swathes of enterprise, customer and product data — but the challenge lies in operationalizing the resource. With data loads still growing at the enterprise level, is the data lakehouse the missing piece in the puzzle? “I think people need a better answer — I think that better answer is basically an easy button that works with their data gravity versus against it,” said Vrashank Jain (pictured, left), product manager at Dell Technologies Inc. “Then they need help from an expertise perspective. They need a bench of people who just know exactly what they’re doing. They can come in and help customers stand this up, run and manage…

Will generative AI change everything for filmmaking?

stp2y0 CommentsNews
From coding and art design to customer service and education, seemingly countless professions are adopting AI systems. With the release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT and its text-to-video system, Sora, and rumors of partnerships with big studios, will Hollywood be the next frontier for AI innovation? We asked an experimental filmmaker, an MIT economist, and an AI startup executive how generative AIs could impact the world of filmmaking. We’re presenting their unique perspectives — as a user, analyst, and creator of these tools, respectively — as a way to uncover the depth and impact of this potentially transformative technology. Here’s what they…

Elon Musk Got Destroyed After Accusing Top AI Scientist of “Going Soft”

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT
Multi-hyphenate billionaire Elon Musk picked a fight with Meta's AI chief and "godfather" of AI Yann LeCun — and lost it in a big way.Over the weekend, the two butted heads after Musk's xAI startup raised $6 billion in a fresh round of funding."Join xAI if you believe in our mission of understanding the universe, which requires maximally rigorous pursuit of the truth, without regard to popularity or political correctness," Musk tweeted on Monday.LeCun, who already has a history of sparring with the mercurial CEO, shot back — and went for the throat."Join xAI if you can stand a boss…

Top 5 Cloud Trends U.K. Businesses Should Watch in 2024

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
As business data demands increase, cloud providers and their customers find themselves having to consider the implications of increasing storage costs, security risks and environmental footprint. Such impacts are of particular importance to U.K. organisations, as it is the largest cloud market in Europe. TechRepublic spoke to U.K. cloud experts to identify the top five industry trends emerging from the country’s burgeoning reliance on the fundamental IT infrastructure. These cloud trends are: Premiumisation of cloud packages. Movement towards hybrid multicloud models. Influx of sustainable cloud solutions. Continuous quest for data sovereignty. Focus on cloud security. 1. Premiumisation of cloud packages Adrian…

Achieving Dimension-Free Communication in Federated Learning via Zeroth-Order Optimization

stp2y0 CommentsViral News
arXiv:2405.15861v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated Learning (FL) offers a promising framework for collaborative and privacy-preserving machine learning across distributed data sources. However, the substantial communication costs associated with FL pose a significant challenge to its efficiency. Specifically, in each communication round, the communication costs scale linearly with the model's dimension, which presents a formidable obstacle, especially in large model scenarios. Despite various communication efficient strategies, the intrinsic dimension-dependent communication cost remains a major bottleneck for current FL implementations. In this paper, we introduce a novel dimension-free communication strategy for FL, leveraging zero-order optimization techniques. We propose a new algorithm,…
