Rendered.ai Founder and CEO Nathan Kundtz on Using AI to Build Better AI

Data is the fuel that makes artificial intelligence run.

Training machine learning and AI systems requires data. And the quality of datasets has a big impact on the systems’ results.

But compiling quality real-world data for AI and ML can be difficult and expensive.

That’s where synthetic data comes in.

The guest for this week’s AI Podcast episode, Nathan Kundtz, is founder and CEO of Rendered.ai, a platform as a service for creating synthetic data to train AI models. The company is also a member of NVIDIA Inception, a free, global program that nurtures cutting-edge startups.

Kundtz is a physicist by training, holds a Ph.D. from Duke University and previously founded Cometa, a hybrid satellite cellular network company.

Our host, Noah Kravitz, spoke to Kundtz about how AI can be used to generate the data needed to create better AI.

Artem Cherkasov and Olexandr Isayev on Democratizing Drug Discovery With NVIDIA GPUs

It may seem intuitive that AI and deep learning can speed up workflows — including novel drug discovery, a typically years-long and several-billion-dollar endeavor. However, there is a dearth of recent research reviewing how accelerated computing can impact the process. Professors Artem Cherkasov and Olexandr Isayev discuss how GPUs can help democratize drug discovery.

Lending a Helping Hand: Jules Anh Tuan Nguyen on Building a Neuroprosthetic

Is it possible to manipulate things with your mind? Possibly. University of Minnesota postdoctoral researcher Jules Anh Tuan Nguyen discusses allowing amputees to control their prosthetic limbs with their thoughts, using neural decoders and deep learning.

Wild Things: 3D Reconstructions of Endangered Species With NVIDIA’s Sifei Liu

Studying endangered species can be difficult, as they’re elusive, and the act of observing them can disrupt their lives. Sifei Liu, a senior research scientist at NVIDIA, discusses how scientists can avoid these pitfalls by studying AI-generated 3D representations of these endangered species.

Environment-free Synthetic Data Generation for API-Calling Agents

Training API-calling large language model (LLM) agents demands massive amounts of high-quality trajectories. However, collecting such data at scale typically requires fully implemented environments with executable APIs and realistic, pre-populated backend databases, creating a major bottleneck for scalability. To overcome this, we propose an environment-free synthetic data generation approach that…

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…
