This post is a guest post co-written with Tengyu Ma and Wen Phan from Voyage AI. Organizations today have access to vast amounts of data, much of it proprietary, which holds the potential to unlock valuable insights when used effectively in generative artificial intelligence (AI) applications. Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) is a powerful technique designed to tap into this reservoir of information. By dynamically pulling relevant data from these extensive databases during the response generation process, RAG enables AI models to produce more accurate, relevant, and contextually rich outputs. Embedding models are crucial components in the RAG architecture, serving as…

AI poised to usher in new level of concierge services to the public

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
Concierge services built on artificial intelligence have the potential to improve how hotels and other service businesses interact with customers, a new paper suggests. In the first work to introduce the concept, researchers have outlined the role an AI concierge, a technologically advanced assistant, may play in various areas of the service sector as well as the different forms such a helper might embody.
