Elastic unveils the Elasticsearch Relevance Engine

May 23, 2023 / NewsShark

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.

Docugami announces integration with LlamaIndex

May 22, 2023 / NewsShark

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

Adobe and Google integrating Firefly and Bard

May 10, 2023 / NewsShark

Adobe and Google are partnering to bring Firefly to Bard, Google’s experimental conversational AI service, with the ability to continue the creative journey further in Adobe Express. With the new Bard by Google integration, users at all skill levels will be able to describe their vision to Bard in their own words to create Firefly generated images directly in Bard and then modify and use them to create designs via Express.

Because Firefly has the CAI’s Content Credentials on by default, every image created in Bard using Firefly will have transparency built in. The CAI’s Content Credentials are a free, open-source tool that serve as a digital “nutrition label.” Content Credentials can show information such as name, date, the tools used to create an image and any edits made to that image. They remain associated with content wherever it is used, published or stored, enabling proper attribution and helping consumers make informed decisions about digital content.

Firefly’s first model is trained on Adobe Stock images, openly licensed content and public domain content where copyright has expired. Enterprise businesses will be able to train Firefly with their own creative collateral in order to generate content in the company’s brand language.
