Opinion / Analysis

Zero-ETL, ChatGPT, and the future of data engineering

“The post-modern data stack is coming. Are we ready?”.

Barr Moses & Shane Murray aim to help you prepare with this very readable post on promising components of future data stacks. (9 min)

Knowledge Graphs + Large Language Models = The ability for users to ask their own questions?

One area the article recommended above doesn’t address is the incorporation of knowledge graphs in data stacks. This is an area we are keenly interested in, especially in combination with LLMs. Peter Lawrence examines what may seem a less-than-obvious use-case (digital twins) for such a combination, and describes how a knowledge graph can be used to train an LLM to be significantly more valuable. He also illustrates why it is not easy. (12 min)

Expert.ai and Reveal Group partner to combine NLP and RPA

April 5, 2023 /

Expert[.]ai and Reveal Group announced a partnership to help organizations extend the value in intelligent automation programs with natural language processing and understanding (NLP/NLU). Robotic process automation (RPA) makes organizations more profitable and responsive, streamlining enterprise workflows and enhancing employee engagement and productivity by removing mundane tasks from their workdays. By adding NLP/NLU to RPA, enterprises now have the ability to increase the flexibility and scalability of automation, expanding deployment to more complex use cases and business processes by making sense of unstructured language data. Unstructured data is critical for organizations to be able to understand, analyze and use it to enable a real intelligent automation across the entirety of an enterprise data assets.
 
The expert.ai hybrid AI platform complements the Reveal Group’s expertise in intelligent automation services. With expert.ai, NLP outputs, including intent, automatic categorization, emotional and behavioral traits identification, entity extraction and sentiment analysis, can be deployed and delivered  by Reveal Group to automate multiple use cases, from common cross-industry use cases (email triage in customer services, data analysis, comparison and extraction in legal departments) to more industry-oriented processes (claims management in insurance companies, loan origination and customer onboarding in banking and financial services.).

Algolia introduces developer-friendly plan

March 30, 2023 /

Algolia, a AI Search and Discovery platform, evolved its pricing and packaging to be more developer-friendly with the introduction of two new developer-oriented plans: a “Build” plan that is free and a “Grow” plan that offers easy scalability at affordable prices. The new Build plan increases the number of free records that a developer can store in Algolia from 10,000 to now 1 million records. Additionally, Algolia cut the cost of search requests in its Grow plan by 50% and records by 60%.

Algolia’s “Build” pricing plan provides developers with free access to the entire set of capabilities in its AI-powered Search and Discovery platform. The company’s “Grow” plan, for when a developer is ready to scale their application, enables developers with more developer-friendly usage-based pricing for live production settings.

A designer, creator, or builder, whether they are a casual or fully committed software engineer, can access all the tools, documentation, sample code, educational content, and cross-platform integration capabilities needed to get started with managing their data, building a search front-end, configuring analytics for free. They will have access to a developer community of more than 5 million builders. Algolia pricing and packaging reflecting this change is immediately available.

Opinion / Analysis

ChatGPT plugins

Many, perhaps most, of the problems with large language models like GPT are due to data limitations (availability, age, quality). The ability to complement GPT data with external knowledge and data sources you own or trust, or are specific to your industry or business, increases model quality, context, and utility. LlamaIndex APIs can help you accomplish this. Now ChatGPT plugins take integration possibilities up a level. This post by the OpenAI team is the best place to get up-to-speed on the first batch of plugins, and what they’re planning. (12 min)

Kobai launches Saturn Knowledge Graph

March 21, 2023 /

Kobai, a codeless knowledge graph platform, announced the availability of Kobai Saturn, a knowledge graph to harness the scale, performance, and cost efficiency of the lakehouse architecture. Kobai Saturn extends the capabilities of the Kobai Platform, integrating every use case and function into a single semantic layer.
