Research Synopsis: Retrieval-Augmented Language Models (RALMs)

Research paper: RAG and RAU: A Survey on Retrieval-Augmented Language Model in Natural Language Processing Demystifying Retrieval-Augmented Language Models (RALMs) This paper dives into a type of artificial intelligence called Retrieval-Augmented Language Models (RALMs). Imagine you’re a student asked to write an essay. You wouldn’t just write from scratch, right? You’d probably research and gather […]

8 Widely Used Large Language Models Evaluation Benchmarks Explained

Overview:  Large Language Models (LLMs) are like brainiacs constantly training in an intellectual decathlon. But how do we measure their progress and identify their strengths across various disciplines? That’s where benchmarks come in. These are like specialized tests designed to assess LLMs’ abilities in various language tasks. Let’s dive into some widely used benchmarks that […]

Fresh Insights: OpenAI’s Spring Update

Spring Fling OpenAI’s Chief Technology Officer, Mura Murati, led the company’s Spring Update announcements yesterday with news of several advancements in OpenAI’s technology.  The two key announcements were the release of GPT-4o (that’s GPT – 4 with the letter “o” for omni model) and a desktop version of ChatGPT. GPT-4o: Text, Audio, and Vision GPT-4o […]

The Future of Large Language Models: 10 Areas Shaping the Next Generation

Large language models (LLMs) have made remarkable strides, enabling human-like text generation, understanding complex queries, and assisting with a wide range of tasks. Recently, there have been many new releases of the LLMs with efficiency improvements in benchmark tests like Massive Multi-task Language Understanding (MMLU). The leading models “rate out” very closely to one another […]

Comparing Capabilities and Costs of Amazon SageMaker and Databricks

When it comes to building and deploying machine learning models, both Amazon SageMaker and Databricks offer powerful platforms with distinct advantages. SageMaker is an AWS product focused on the model development and deployment aspects of machine learning, while Databricks has a broader focus on analytics and data processing in addition to supporting machine learning. The choice […]

Enhancing Student Persistence through Data Analytics at Morehouse

Summary  Infinitive was retained by Morehouse College to help drive its use of internal data to improve student retention and persistence. Morehouse is the only historically Black, all-male, four-year liberal arts institution in the United States, with a history dating back over 157 years. Through a Strategic Data Planning workshop, we worked with the Morehouse […]

Twelve Most Popular Machine Learning Algorithms Described

Overview: There are many algorithms used to build machine learning models.  Listed below are 12 of the most common / popular algorithms along with a relatively simple definition, the type of algorithm (regression, classification, dimensionality reduction, or clustering), and an example use-case. 1) Linear Regression (Ordinary Least Squares, OLS) – OLS seeks to draw a […]

Agents: The Next Frontier

The world of Large Language Models (LLMs) is getting ever more crowded while the differences in the LLMs’ language understanding are growing ever smaller.  This commoditization of the base capabilities inside LLMs is causing the biggest LLM makers (with the highest market caps) to look beyond basic language understanding for differentiation.  OpenAI is rumored to […]

Game On: The Evolving Journey of AI in Predicting NFL Viewership Dynamics

Please note: This is an update to an ongoing experiment.  More details will be published as the experiment progresses. Summary. Infinitive has completed the first phase of an effort to predict viewership of NFL football games. Using publicly available data and the Databricks Data Lakehouse platform we have developed a layered model with a Root […]
