In the rapidly evolving domain of Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Information Retrieval, the advent of advanced models like Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) has stirred considerable interest. Despite this, many data science experts advise against jumping into complex RAG models until the evaluation pipeline is fully reliable and robust.
Performing comprehensive assessments of RAG…
Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) models have become increasingly important in the fields of Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Information Retrieval. Despite this, there's a cautionary note from data science experts advising against a rush into using sophisticated RAG models until the evaluation pipeline is reliable and robust.

Doctors face greater challenges in identifying diseases while examining images of darker skin tones.
A study conducted by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) found that doctors and dermatologists accomplish lower diagnostic accuracy rates when examining images of darker skin tones compared to lighter ones. Technologically-assisted diagnosis offered greater improvements when assessing lighter skin.
More than 1,000 practitioners, including dermatologists and general practitioners, categorized an array of 364…
Amazon has announced an integration between Amazon SageMaker, a fully managed machine learning (ML) service, and Amazon DataZone, a data management service. This integration is planned to facilitate infrastructure setup with security controls, collaboration on ML projects, and management of access to data and ML assets.
When solving business issues using ML, one creates ML models…

Five Nights at Freddy's (FNAF) is a renowned video game franchise launched in 2014 that has since developed a substantial fan base. The franchise's universe has extended beyond the game to include books, merchandise, and even a film adaptation. Set inside a sinister pizza restaurant known as Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place, players act as security…
The family of renowned Belarus-born artist, Leonid Afremov, who passed away in 2019, has become embroiled in a buzz over the sale of AI-generated art that bears a striking resemblance to Afremov's signature work. This situation came to light when Jon Neimeister, lead artist for Blizzard's Hearthstone video game, stumbled across the sale of AI-art…
The challenge of efficiently determining a user's preferences through natural language dialogues, specifically in the context of conversational recommender systems, is a focus of recent research. Traditional methods require users to rate or compare options, but this approach fails when the user is unfamiliar with the majority of potential choices. Solving this problem through Large…
Continual learning (CL), the capability of systems to adapt over time without losing prior knowledge, presents a significant challenge. Neural networks, while adept at processing large amounts of data, can often suffer from catastrophic forgetting, when learning new information may erase what was previously learned. This becomes extremely problematic in scenarios with limited data retention…
