What is managed DNS, anyway?

Managed DNS is where a third-party hosts and optimizes your DNS resolution architecture to provide the fastest, most secure, most reliable experience. Perhaps the easiest way to explain it is by looking at the opposite scenario: what if you don’t have a managed DNS service in place? Every query in the Domain Name System (DNS) follows the …

Build a robust text-to-SQL solution generating complex queries, self-correcting, and querying diverse data sources

Structured Query Language (SQL) is a complex language that requires an understanding of databases and metadata. Today, generative AI can enable people without SQL knowledge. This generative AI task is called text-to-SQL, which generates SQL queries from natural language processing (NLP) and converts text into semantically correct SQL. The solution in this post aims to …

Code samples to get started building generative AI apps on Google Cloud

Last year, we surveyed over 100 senior executives from leading companies on the top generative AI use cases for 2024. They told us their top use cases delivered near-term benefits for their business and had a lower time to and risk to implement. Specifically, they identified improving customer service, increasing the productivity of software development …

SynthDST: Synthetic Data is All You Need for Few-Shot Dialog State Tracking

In-context learning with Large Language Models (LLMs) has emerged as a promising avenue of research in Dialog State Tracking (DST). However, the best-performing in-context learning methods involve retrieving and adding similar examples to the prompt, requiring access to labeled training data. Procuring such training data for a wide range of domains and applications is time-consuming, …

How to mitigate the risks of DIY authoritative DNS

While many network admins outsource the management of authoritative domain name system (DNS) infrastructure to a third party like IBM® NS1 Connect®, there is a sizable community of network operators who prefer to dig in and build something themselves. These do it yourself (DIY) authoritative DNS architectures can be cobbled together from various tools. BIND is most …

Multichannel Voice Trigger Detection Based on Transform-average-concatenate

This paper was accepted at the workshop HSCMA at ICASSP 2024. Voice triggering (VT) enables users to activate their devices by just speaking a trigger phrase. A front-end system is typically used to perform speech enhancement and/or separation, and produces multiple enhanced and/or separated signals. Since conventional VT systems take only single-channel audio as input, …

Techniques and approaches for monitoring large language models on AWS

Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized the field of natural language processing (NLP), improving tasks such as language translation, text summarization, and sentiment analysis. However, as these models continue to grow in size and complexity, monitoring their performance and behavior has become increasingly challenging. Monitoring the performance and behavior of LLMs is a critical task …
