Opinion / Analysis

When should you fine-tune LLMs?

Last week we led with an article looking at combining knowledge graphs with large language models to create high-value domain specific applications. This post from Skanda Vivek looks at another decision to make when building a domain specific application: whether to use a proprietary LLM, such as ChatGPT, fine-tune an open-source LLM, or train an LLM from scratch. Vivek includes cost considerations, but also includes a link to a post with detailed hosting costs. (7 min)

Elastic unveils the Elasticsearch Relevance Engine

May 23, 2023 /

Elastic announced the launch of the Elasticsearch Relevance Engine (ESRE), with built-in vector search and transformer models, which is designed to bring AI innovation to proprietary enterprise data. ESRE enables companies create secure deployments to take advantage of all their proprietary structured and unstructured data.

Elastic has made investments in foundational AI capabilities to democratize AI and machine learning for developers with a Unified APIs for vector search, BM25f search and hybrid search, plus a transformer model small enough to fit on a laptop’s memory.

Using a relevance engine, like ESRE, allows companies to take advantage of all of their structured and unstructured data to build custom generative AI (GAI) apps, without having to worry about the size and cost of running large language models. The ability to “bring your own” transformer model and integrate with third-party transformer models allows organizations to create secure deployments that leverage GAI on their specific business data. With ESRE, the companies and community of users that have invested in Elastic solutions can advance AI initiatives right now without a lot of additional resources.

Adobe unveils Generative Fill for Photoshop

May 23, 2023 /

Adobe unveiled Generative Fill in Photoshop, bringing Adobe Firefly generative AI capabilities directly into design workflows. The new Firefly-powered Generative Fill giving users a new way to work by easily adding, extending or removing content from images non-destructively using simple text prompts. This beta release of Photoshop is Adobe’s first Creative Cloud application to deeply integrate Firefly. Adobe plans to incorporate Firefly across Creative Cloud, Document Cloud, Experience Cloud and Adobe Express.

Generative Fill automatically matches perspective, lighting and style of images to enable users achieve results while reducing tedious tasks. Generative Fill expands creative expression and productivity and enhances creative confidence of creators with the use of natural language and concepts to generate digital content.

Photoshop’s Generative Fill feature is available in the desktop beta app today and will be generally available in the second half of 2023. Generative Fill is also available today as a module within the Firefly beta app for users interested in testing the new capabilities on the web.

Docugami announces integration with LlamaIndex

May 22, 2023 /

Docugami, a document engineering company that transforms how businesses create and execute critical business documents, announced an initial integration of LlamaIndex with Docugami, via the Llama Hub.

The LlamaIndex framework provides a flexible interface between a user’s information and Large Language Models (LLMs). Coupling LlamaIndex with Docugami’s ability to generate a Document XML Knowledge Graph representation of long-form Business Documents opens opportunities for LlamaIndex developers to build LLM applications that connect users to their own Business Documents, without being limited by document size or context window restrictions.

General purpose LLMs alone cannot deliver the accuracy needed for business, financial, legal, and scientific settings because they are trained on the public internet, which introduces a wide range of irrelevant and low-quality source materials. By contrast, Docugami is trained exclusively for business scenarios, for greater accuracy and reliability.

Systems aiming to understand the content of documents, such as retrieval and question-answering, will benefit from Docugami’s semantic Document XML Knowledge Graph Representation. Our unique approach to document chunking allows for better understanding and processing of your documents

Opinion / Analysis

AI’s Woolf at the door — LLMs and knowledge graphs

The combination of Large Language Models with other sources of data and knowledge has enormous potential for new, and more powerful, applications across domains. Most of the examples we’ve looked at in the last few weeks involve knowledge graphs and LLMs, which seem like particularly promising partners. Dean Allemang reports from last week’s Knowledge Graph Conference that there is a lot of enthusiasm for such a marriage. But Allemang wants more evidence that knowledge graphs are in fact a better match for LLMs than other types of databases. His article is a good place to start for anyone who has the same question.

Error-message guidelines

Who among us hasn’t been occasionally baffled by error messages that aren’t the least bit helpful? This is one of the most frustrating user experience failures. Tim Neusesser and Evan Sunwall describe what designers should watch out for, and review good and bad error-message examples (including one they like from ChatGPT – see the first item in the list just below for more on chatbot UIs.) (7 min)
