Expert.ai launches Insight Engine for Life Sciences

April 15, 2024 / NewsShark

Expert.ai, specialists in providing AI-powered language solutions to enterprises, today announced the launch of the expert.ai Insight Engine for Life Sciences.

For the world of drug research and development, data is both a challenge to be managed and an opportunity. The ability to effectively and quickly mine scientific and biomedical content for developing new drugs and to design and operate clinical trials is critical. The complexity of the diverse data sources that researchers depend on makes integrating, standardizing and analyzing them both challenging. Commercial licensing and data access restrictions, as well as the lack of granularity and different taxonomies used by common search tools complicate the process.

Advanced AI technologies provide the capability to mine and aggregate scientific content, synthesize knowledge, extract relevant information & reveal hidden correlations, helping researchers quickly access and analyze a vast amount of relevant information coming from biomedical and scientific literature, including full texts, speeding up the discovery and development of new drugs and therapies. Expert.ai Insight Engine for Life Sciences supports multiple use cases, including competitive intelligence, clinical trial design optimization, intellectual property protection, and research intelligence.

MongoDB expands collaboration with Google Cloud

April 9, 2024 / NewsShark

MongoDB, Inc. announced an expanded collaboration with Google Cloud to make it easier and more cost-effective to build, scale, and deploy generative AI applications using MongoDB Atlas Vector Search and Vertex AI from Google Cloud, along with additional support for data processing with BigQuery. The companies are also collaborating on new industry solutions for retail and manufacturing, with deeper product integrations and solutions to provide a seamless development environment for creating shopping experiences and data-driven applications for smart factories. For workloads that use highly sensitive data, MongoDB Enterprise Advanced (EA) is now available on Google Distributed Cloud (GDC).

MongoDB Atlas Search Nodes on Google Cloud provide dedicated infrastructure for generative AI and relevance-based search workloads that use MongoDB Atlas Vector Search and MongoDB Atlas Search.
A dedicated Vertex AI extension makes it easier to work with large language models (LLMs) without having to transform data or manage data pipelines between MongoDB Atlas and Google Cloud.
Integration of Spark stored procedures with BigQuery improves automation, optimization, and reuse of data processing workflows between BigQuery and MongoDB Atlas for analytics, BI, and end-user applications.

DataStax acquires Langflow

April 4, 2024 / NewsShark

DataStax announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire AI startup, Logspace, the creators of Langflow, an open source visual framework for building retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) applications.

Langflow makes it easier and faster for any developer, experienced or new, to build Generative AI applications using Python-based composable building blocks and pre-built components, which can be combined in numerous ways. With its easy-to-use, drag-and-drop visual environment and rapid iteration of data flows, Langflow makes it simpler for any developer to build LangChain-based RAG applications and deploy in one-click.

Developers benefit from a rich ecosystem that builds, shares, and reuses components with each other in the Langflow Store–a place to publish and search for components built by the community. With this, they can quickly test, reuse, and share flows to iterate on RAG applications with fine-grained control to dramatically speed up deployment and reduce hallucinations.

The combination of Langflow and DataStax creates a one-stop Generative AI application stack offering flexible deployment options, including integration with DataStax Astra DB, alongside a rich ecosystem of Python libraries, and integration with partners like LangChain. The Langflow team will operate independently, focusing on project innovation and community collaboration.

NebulaGraph Enterprise v3.7.0 simplifies building knowledge graphs

April 3, 2024 / NewsShark

Vesoft announced the latest update to the NebulaGraph Enterprise v3.7.0, featuring two modules: the Knowledge Graph Build (beta) and the AI Assistant. These functions invite users to experience firsthand the seamless integration of graph technology and Large Language Models (LLMs) at a product level.

In the v3.7.0 of the NebulaGraph Enterprise, the KG Build function streamlines the creation of knowledge graphs by connecting to LLMs, automatically processing uploaded file data, transforming it into a knowledge graph, and storing it in the database. This new process reduces manpower and resource needs and enhances data processing efficiency. Beyond supporting small-scale trial files, the KG Build function accommodates super large-scale file uploads to LLMs, allowing users to customize knowledge graph construction tasks for a more flexible and convenient process.

Alongside KG Build, NebulaGraph Explorer v3.7.0 introduced the AI Assistant function for Graph Language Generation. The query language of graph databases has been a barrier for many users, often requiring systematic learning or professional assistance. With the Graph Language Generation function users simply input natural language queries related to the graph database, and the AI assistant translates the query into a graph query statement.
