Listen to your technology users — they have led to the most disruptive innovations in history
Technology users can be a source of ingenious ideas rather than a barrier. Here’s how to seek out innovative disruption.Read More
Latin American Fact-Checkers Brace for Meta’s Next Moves
So far Meta has only abandoned fact-checking in the US. If and when it expands, the move will be a major blow to the Latin American news ecosystem.
Fingerprinting Codes Meet Geometry: Improved Lower Bounds for Private Query Release and Adaptive Data Analysis
Fingerprinting codes are a crucial tool for proving lower bounds in differential privacy. They have been used to prove tight lower bounds for several fundamental questions, especially in the “low accuracy” regime. Unlike reconstruction/discrepancy approaches however, they are more suited for proving worst-case lower bounds, for query sets that arise naturally from the fingerprinting codes …
The Evolving (and Inexact) Science of Fleeing a Wildfire
As extreme wildfires become the new norm, scientists are trying to crack how to save lives.
Microsoft introduces rStar-Math, an SLM for math reasoning and problem solving
A team of math and AI researchers at Microsoft Asia has designed and developed a small language model (SLM) that can be used to solve math problems. The group has posted a paper on the arXiv preprint server outlining the technology and math behind the new tool and how well it has performed on standard …

Monthly Showcase Thread – January 2024
Howdy! I was a bit late for this, but the holidays got the best of me. Too much Eggnog. My apologies. This thread is the perfect place to share your one off creations without needing a dedicated post or worrying about sharing extra generation data. It’s also a fantastic way to check out what others …
RAG Hallucination Detection Techniques
Large language models (LLMs) are useful for many applications, including question answering, translation, summarization, and much more, with recent advancements in the area having increased their potential.
Privacy-Computation Trade-offs in Private Repetition and Metaselection
A Private Repetition algorithm takes as input a differentially private algorithm with constant success probability and boosts it to one that succeeds with high probability. These algorithms are closely related to private metaselection algorithms that compete with the best of many private algorithms, and private hyperparameter tuning algorithms that compete with the best hyperparameter settings …

Build an Amazon Bedrock based digital lending solution on AWS
Digital lending is a critical business enabler for banks and financial institutions. Customers apply for a loan online after completing the know your customer (KYC) process. A typical digital lending process involves various activities, such as user onboarding (including steps to verify the user through KYC), credit verification, risk verification, credit underwriting, and loan sanctioning. …

Introducing Vertex AI RAG Engine: Scale your Vertex AI RAG pipeline with confidence
Closing the gap between impressive model demos and real-world performance is crucial for successfully deploying generative AI for enterprise. Despite the incredible capabilities of generative AI for enterprise, this perceived gap may be a barrier for many developers and enterprises to “productionize” AI. This is where retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) becomes non-negotiable – it strengthens your …
