  • Your customers are about to leave? The secrets of recommendation systems revealed.
    Nov 6 2024

    This article explains how generative AI can be used to improve customer retention by leveraging data and personalizing recommendations. It explores the principles of collaborative filtering, a recommendation technique based on the preferences of similar users, and examines the challenges associated with data sparsity and potential biases.

    The episode also explains how "prompt engineering" can be used to optimize AI results by providing precise instructions on how to use the data. Finally, it emphasizes the importance of understanding the concepts of similarity, distance, and regularization to generate relevant and ethical recommendations.

  • Beyond distances: Understanding statistical divergences in data
    Sep 26 2024

    Statistical divergences measure how different two datasets are. In AI, these measurements are crucial for comparing and analyzing data. Imagine two groups of photos: cats and dogs. An AI must learn to distinguish cats from dogs. To do this, it uses statistical divergences to compare the characteristics of cat and dog photos and learn to differentiate them. AI algorithms, such as those used for image recognition or machine translation, rely on statistics to improve their accuracy. For example, by analyzing the divergences between correct and incorrect translations, the AI can learn to translate sentences better. This episode aims to explore the most commonly used divergences in data analysis, understand their implications, and examine their practical applications.

  • Revolution in language processing: language models without matrix multiplication
    Sep 24 2024

    - Edge computing enhances NLP by reducing latency, improving privacy, and optimizing resources.

    - NLP models can now run on peripheral devices, improving real-time applications like voice assistants and translation.

    - Alternatives to matrix multiplication (MatMul) are emerging, such as AdderNet and binary networks, reducing computational cost.

    - MatMul-free models improve memory efficiency and execution speed, making them suitable for large-scale language models.

    - These models are ideal for resource-limited devices like smartphones and IoT sensors.

    - Future research will focus on optimizing MatMul-free models for even better performance and scalability.
