Ontotext releases Metadata Studio 3.2

March 21, 2023 /

Ontotext, a provider of enterprise knowledge graph (EKG) technology and semantic database engines, released Ontotext Metadata Studio version 3.2. The metadata management and tagging control solution helps organizations to transform content into knowledge. Users can utilize the taxonomical instance data in their knowledge graph to achieve explainable and customizable out-of-the-box taxonomy-driven tagging.

Ontotext Metadata Studio 3.2 makes it easy for users to determine whether a use case could be automated or not across any third-party text mining service, simplifies orchestrating complex text analysis across third-party services, and evaluates their quality against internal benchmarks or against one another.

With version 3.2, Ontotext Metadata Studio enables non-technical end users to create, evaluate, and improve the quality of their text analytics service by tagging and linking against their own business domain model. With extensive explainability and control features, users who are not proficient in text analytics techniques can understand the causal relationships between the underlying dataset, the specific text analytics service configuration, and the final output.

This enhancement enables efficient user intervention, making the human truly in the loop and completely in control of the whole extraction process. Ontotext Metadata Studio is domain neutral and applicable for various domains and use cases.

Opinion / Analysis

The Road to ChatGPT — An informal explainer on how ChatGPT was built

Rama Ramakrishnan…
“I have written an informal “explainer” on how ChatGPT was built. I have tried to focus on the key ideas and have kept technical details to the bare minimum. Please view in full-screen mode. I hope you find it useful.”

This is excellent. You truly don’t need to be technical to follow it. Don’t let the 104 slides scare you off; you can fly through most of them.

Introduction to Data-Centric AI

“In real-world applications, data is messy and improving models is not the only way to get better performance. You can also improve the dataset itself rather than treating it as fixed. Data-Centric AI (DCAI) is an emerging science that studies techniques to improve datasets, which is often the best way to improve performance in practical ML applications.”

MIT has made this course freely available to all. Lectures and materials are online. This is a valuable resource for professional practitioners as well as students. (1 min for the course description – the rest is up to you).

Ontotext releases GraphDB 10.2

March 8, 2023 /

Ontotext, a provider of enterprise knowledge graph (EKG) technology and semantic database engines, launched GraphDB 10.2, an RDF database for knowledge graph. GraphDB enables organizations to link diverse data, index it for semantic search, and enrich it via text analysis to build large scale knowledge graphs. With improved cluster backup and cloud support, GraphDB lowers traditional memory requirements, and provides a more transparent memory model.

Users can oversee system health and diagnose problems easier using industry-standard toolkit Prometheus or by monitoring performance directly within the GraphDB Workbench itself. The solution also includes support for X.509 client certificate authentication for greater flexibility when accessing a secured GraphDB instance.

Backups can also be stored directly in Amazon S3 storage to ensure the most up to date data is securely protected against inadvertent changes or hardware failures in local on-prem infrastructure.

Internal structures and moved memory usage from off-heap to the Java heap were also redesigned for a more straightforward memory configuration, where a single number i.e. (the Java maximum heap size) controls the maximum memory available to GraphDB. Memory used during RDF Rank computation was also optimized making it possible to compute the rank of larger repositories with less memory.

Bulk data export: a new and powerful way to access your Search Console data

From the Google Search Console Team…

You can configure an export in Search Console to get a daily data dump into your BigQuery project. The data includes all your performance data, apart from anonymized queries, which are filtered out for privacy reasons … This means you can explore your data to its maximum potential, joining it with other sources of data and using advanced analysis and visualization techniques. … This data export could be particularly helpful for large websites with tens of thousands of pages, or those receiving traffic from tens of thousands of queries a day (or both!). (3 min).

DeltaXML eases HTML table comparison with XML Compare 14

March 7, 2023 /

DeltaXML announced the release of Version 14 of XML Compare, which now includes table comparison improvements to HTML tables. This new version features a major update to the way HTML tables are handled when comparing tables and reporting differences as well as new capabilities to ensure you get the best results when processing tables.

New HTML table capabilities include both ordered and ‘orderless’ columns. By default, column order is significant so if column order changes, that is flagged up in the results. But if column order doesn’t matter, you can now figure the comparison to ignore column order and it will align them differently in the result. Another new feature is Column Keying allowing you to control the way in which columns are aligned.

Improvements include the way changes to spans are handled enabling finer-grained results for cells and rows and improved display and understanding. When a column moves, is added or deleted, improvements to Column Alignment provides a new result which makes more sense and is immediately apparent to the viewer and easier to understand.

These xHTML table enhancements are now in the process of being rolled out to DeltaXML’s DITA Compare and DocBook Compare products.
