Ontotext releases Ontotext Metadata Studio 3.7

Ontotext, a provider of enterprise knowledge graph (EKG) technology and semantic database engines, announced the availability of Ontotext Metadata Studio (OMDS) 3.7, an all-in-one environment that facilitates the creation, evaluation, and quality improvement of text analytics services. This latest release provides out-of-the-box, rapid natural language processing (NLP) prototyping and development so organizations can iteratively create a text analytics service that best serves their domain knowledge. 

As part of Ontotext’s AI-in-Action initiative, which helps data scientists and engineers benefit from the AI capabilities of its products, the latest version enables users to tag content with Common English Entity Linking (CEEL), text analytics service. CEEL is trained to tag mentions of people, organizations, and locations to their representation in Wikidata – the public knowledge graph that includes close to 100 million entity instances. With OMDS, organizations can recognize approximately 40 million Wikidata concepts, and  streamline information extraction from text and enrichment of databases and knowledge graphs. Organizations can:

  • Automate tagging and categorization of content to facilitate more efficient discovery, reviews, and knowledge synthesis. 
  • Enrich content, achieve precise search, improve SEO, and enhance the performance of LLMs and downstream analytics.
  • Streamline information extraction from large volumes of unstructured content and analyze market trends.

Optimizely integration with Writer now live

Optimizely, a digital experience platform (DXP) provider, has announced that a new product integration with Writer, the enterprise-focused generative AI platform, is now live. The integration comes after the official partnership announcement in October and equips the Optimizely Content Marketing Platform (CMP) with AI capabilities that enable joint customers to use industry-specific LLMs to develop content that is relevant, compliant, and consistent with their existing brand tone and voice, and tailored to industry audiences to simplify the content marketing lifecycle.

Writer’s integration into Optimizely will leverage the Palmyra, the Writer-built family of large language models, to enhance AI-powered content generation capabilities and chat features across Optimizely applications. Palmyra LLMs are transparent and auditable, top-scoring on benchmarks like Stanford HELM, and keep customers’ data private. They are coupled with the Writer-built graph-based RAG Knowledge Graph, AI guardrails to enforce brand and compliance rules, and a flexible application layer that serves a wide range of use cases, resulting in an AI platform that meets unique enterprise needs.

Bard becomes Gemini: new Ultra 1.0 and mobile app    

via the Google Blog…

Gemini represents our most capable family of models. To reflect this, Bard will now simply be known as Gemini.

You can already chat with Gemini with our Pro 1.0 model and now, we’re bringing you two new experiences — Gemini Advanced and a mobile app — to help you easily collaborate with the best of Google AI.

Gemini Advanced — gives you access to Ultra 1.0, our largest and most capable state-of-the-art AI model. With Ultra 1.0 Gemini Advanced is far more capable at complex tasks like coding, logical reasoning, following nuanced instructions and collaborating on creative projects. Gemini Advanced not only allows you to have longer, more detailed conversations; it also better understands the context from your previous prompts.

Gemini Advanced is available as part of our new Google One AI Premium Plan for $19.99/month, starting with a two-month trial at no cost.

We’ve heard that you want an easier way to access Gemini on your phone. So today we’re starting to roll out a new mobile experience for Gemini and Gemini Advanced with a new app on Android and in the Google app on iOS.

Apple releases AI model for instruction-based image editing

via The Verge…

Apple released an open-source AI model, called “MGIE,” that can edit images based on natural language instructions. MGIE (MLLM-Guided Image Editing), leverages multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to interpret user commands and perform pixel-level manipulations. The model can handle various editing aspects, such as Photoshop-style modification, global photo optimization, and local editing. MGIE is the result of a collaboration with researchers from the University of California, Santa Barbara.

MGIE integrates MLLMs into the image editing process in two ways: First, it uses MLLMs to derive expressive instructions from user input. For example, given the input “make the sky more blue”, MGIE can produce the instruction “increase the saturation of the sky region by 20%.”

Second, it uses MLLMs to generate visual imagination, a latent representation of the desired edit. This representation captures the essence of the edit and can be used to guide the pixel-level manipulation. MGIE’s training scheme jointly optimizes the instruction derivation, visual imagination, and image editing modules.

MGIE is available as an open-source project on GitHub. The project provides a demo notebook that shows how to use MGIE for various editing tasks. Users can also try out MGIE through a web demo at Hugging Face Spaces.

Franz announces Gruff 9

Franz Inc., an early innovator in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and supplier of knowledge graph technology for Neuro-Symbolic AI applications, announced Gruff 9, a web-based advanced knowledge Graph visualization tool that offers no-code queries, hypergraphs, dynamic graph displays, LLM integration and RDF* (RDFStar) features for building next-generation AI applications.

Gruff 9 provides users the ability to embed natural language LLM queries in SPARQL and visualize and explore the connections displayed in the results. Gruff now provides a unique visualization solution for the emerging RDF* standard from W3C.  The RDF* standard is an improvement over the labeled property graph approach (supported by other vendors) as it allows full hypergraph capabilities.

Gruff 9 is included with AllegroGraph Cloud, Franz’s hosted version of its Neuro-Symbolic AI platform. Gruff and AllegroGraph Cloud offers users a convenient and easy on-ramp to building advanced AI applications.

Franz Inc. recently announced AllegroGraph 8, its Neuro-Symbolic AI Platform that incorporates Large Language Model (LLM) components directly into SPARQL along with vector generation and vector storage for a comprehensive AI Knowledge Graph solution.

Fivetran introduces dbt Cloud orchestration integration

Deepening its relationship with dbt Labs, Fivetran, provider of data integration, today announced its new orchestration integration with dbt Cloud, enabling enterprises to seamlessly manage data movement and transformations using the Fivetran platform. Now, with Fivetran as the hub, dbt Cloud transformations occur immediately and sequentially once data is loaded in a cloud data lake or warehouse, decreasing workflow inefficiencies and costs while ensuring businesses are powered by always-on data. 

With a fully automated data pipeline, data teams no longer need to run data integration and transformations independently. Downstream data workflows are now synchronized to automatically run upon completion of fresh data load, rather than a set schedule as had previously been the case.

The new Fivetran-dbt Cloud orchestration streamlines data practices, complexities and costs, while also ensuring companies can do more with their data. In a time where data provides a significant competitive advantage, an automated pipeline is essential. It helps companies make the most informed data-driven decisions and builds the foundation for next-generation data projects.

The new dbt Cloud integration adds to Fivetran’s existing offerings that are aimed to help organizations get from raw data to insights faster, including Fivetran’s Quickstart and pre-built data models.
