Cloudera adds Accelerators for Machine Learning Projects (AMPs)

September 12, 2024 /

Cloudera, a hybrid platform for data, analytics and AI, announced new Accelerators for ML Projects (AMPs), designed to reduce time-to-value for enterprise AI use cases. The new additions focus on providing enterprises with cutting-edge AI techniques and examples within Cloudera that can assist AI integration and drive more impactful results.

AMPs are end-to-end machine learning (ML) based projects that can be deployed with a single-click directly from the Cloudera platform. Each AMP encapsulates industry practices for tackling complex ML challenges with workflows to facilitate seamless transitions. Cloudera AMPs are open source and include deployment instructions for any environment. Updates include:

  • Fine-Tuning Studio – Provides users with an all-encompassing application and “ecosystem” for managing, fine tuning, and evaluating LLMs.
  • RAG with Knowledge Graph – A demonstration of how to power a RAG (retrieval augmented generation) application with a knowledge graph to capture relationships and context not easily accessible by vector stores alone.
  • PromptBrew – Offers AI-powered assistance to create reliable prompts via a simple user interface.
  • Chat with Your Documents – Building upon the previous LLM Chatbot Augmented with Enterprise Data AMP, this accelerator enhances the responses of the LLM using context from an internal knowledge base created from the documents uploaded by the user.

Syncro Soft releases Oxygen AI Positron Assistant 3.0

September 5, 2024 /

Version 3.0 increases the efficiency of using the tool as certain actions now leverage the Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) process to obtain context from the users’ current projects.

The new AI Positron Assistant drop-down widget offers a convenient way of accessing useful AI actions by displaying a floating contextual menu directly within the editing area. Users can customize their own AI actions to display as Quick Assist fixes in the editor. It is also now possible to choose the OpenAI model used in chat sessions and actions right from the AI Positron Assistant view.

A variety of new AI actions that are specific to working with DITA XML documents have been implemented, including a Proofread action that helps users identify potential issues in their content regarding logical consistency, grammar, spelling, readability, and comprehension.

Other newly implemented actions include the Improve Structure action that instructs the AI to enhance DITA XML documents by adding additional structure or inline elements, and the Add Structured Content action continues the content from a document with additional structured content generated based upon similar content from the current project, which gives the AI more context for formulating the new XML structure.

Couchbase expands cloud database platform with Capella Columnar and vector search

September 3, 2024 /

Couchbase, Inc. launched Capella Columnar on AWS, to help organizations streamline the development of adaptive applications by enabling real-time data analysis alongside operational workloads within a single database platform. Also generally available today is Couchbase Mobile with vector search, which makes it possible for customers to offer similarity and hybrid search in their applications on mobile and at the edge, and Capella Free Tier, a free developer environment.

Capella Columnar addresses the challenge of parsing, transforming and persisting JSON data into an analysis-ready columnar format. It supports real-time, multisource ingestion of data from Couchbase, and systems like Confluent Cloud to draw data from third-party JSON or SQL systems. Capella Columnar makes analysis easy by using Capella iQ, an AI coding assistant that writes SQL++ so the developer doesn’t need to wait for the BI team to run analytics for them. Once an important metric is calculated, it can be written back to the operational side of Capella, which can use the metric within the application.

Using vector search on-device with Couchbase Lite, the embedded database for mobile and IoT applications, mobile developers can now leverage vector search at the edge for building semantic search and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) applications.
