AI Esperanto: Large Language Models Read Data With NVIDIA Triton

Julien Salinas wears many hats. He’s an entrepreneur, software developer and, until lately, a volunteer fireman in his mountain village an hour’s drive from Grenoble, a tech hub in southeast France. He’s nurturing a two-year old startup, NLP Cloud, that’s already profitable, employs about a dozen people and serves customers around the globe. It’s one …

AI Governance: Break open the black box

It is well known that Artificial Intelligence (AI) has progressed, moving past the era of experimentation. Today, AI presents an enormous opportunity to turn data into insights and actions, to amplify human capabilities, decrease risk and increase ROI by achieving break through innovations. While the promise of AI isn’t guaranteed and doesn’t always come easy, …

Large Motion Frame Interpolation

Posted by Fitsum Reda and Janne Kontkanen, Google Research Frame interpolation is the process of synthesizing in-between images from a given set of images. The technique is often used for temporal up-sampling to increase the refresh rate of videos or to create slow motion effects. Nowadays, with digital cameras and smartphones, we often take several …

Reduce cost and development time with Amazon SageMaker Pipelines local mode

Creating robust and reusable machine learning (ML) pipelines can be a complex and time-consuming process. Developers usually test their processing and training scripts locally, but the pipelines themselves are typically tested in the cloud. Creating and running a full pipeline during experimentation adds unwanted overhead and cost to the development lifecycle. In this post, we …

Searidge Technologies Offers a Safety Net for Airports

Planes taxiing for long periods due to ground traffic — or circling the airport while awaiting clearance to land — don’t just make travelers impatient. They burn fuel unnecessarily, harming the environment and adding to airlines’ costs. Searidge Technologies, based in Ottawa, Canada, has created AI-powered software to help the aviation industry avoid such issues, …

Privacy of Noisy Stochastic Gradient Descent: More Iterations without More Privacy Loss

A central issue in machine learning is how to train models on sensitive user data. Industry has widely adopted a simple algorithm: Stochastic Gradient Descent with noise (a.k.a. Stochastic Gradient Langevin Dynamics). However, foundational theoretical questions about this algorithm’s privacy loss remain open — even in the seemingly simple setting of smooth convex losses over …

FLAIR: Federated Learning Annotated Image Repository

Cross-device federated learning is an emerging machine learning (ML) paradigm where a large population of devices collectively train an ML model while the data remains on the devices. This research field has a unique set of practical challenges, and to systematically make advances, new datasets curated to be compatible with this paradigm are needed. Existing …

Two-Layer Bandit Optimization for Recommendations

Online commercial app marketplaces serve millions of apps to billions of users in an efficient manner. Bandit optimization algorithms are used to ensure that the recommendations are relevant, and converge to the best performing content over time. However, directly applying bandits to real-world systems, where the catalog of items is dynamic and continuously refreshed, is …
