Generative AI: Past, Present, and Future – A Practitioner's Perspective
As the academic realm grapples with the profound implications of generative AI
and related applications like ChatGPT, I will present a grounded view from my
experience as a practitioner. Starting with the origins of neural networks in
the fields of logic, psychology, and computer science, I trace its history and
align it within the wider context of the pursuit of artificial intelligence.
This perspective will also draw parallels with historical developments in
psychology. Against this backdrop, I chart a proposed trajectory for the future.
Finally, I provide actionable insights for both academics and enterprising
individuals in the field.
In this session, you'll get all the answers about how ChatGPT and other GPT-X models can be applied to your current or future project. First, we'll put in order all the terms – OpenAI, GPT-3, ChatGPT, Codex, Dall-E, etc., and explain why Microsoft and Azure are often mentioned in this context. Then, we'll go through the main capabilities of the Azure OpenAI and respective usecases that might inspire you to either optimize your product or build a completely new one.

How to analyze text data for AI and ML with Named Entity RecognitionSkyl.ai
About the webinar
The Internet is a rich source of data, mainly textual data. But making use of huge quantities of data is a complex and time-consuming task. NLP can help with this problem through the use of Named Entity Recognition systems. Named entities are terms that refer to names, organizations, locations, values etc. NER annotates texts – marking where and what type of named entities occurred in it. This step significantly simplifies further use of such data, allowing for easy categorization of documents, analyze sentiments, improving automatically generated summaries etc.
Further, in many industries, the vocabulary keeps changing and growing with new research, abbreviations, long and complex constructions, and makes it difficult to get accurate results or use rule-based methods. Named Entity Recognition and Classification can help to effectively extract, tag, index, and manage this fast and ever-growing knowledge.
Through this webinar, we will understand how NER can be used to extract key entities from large volumes of text data
What you will learn
- How organizations are leveraging Named Entity Recognition across various industries
- Live demo - Identify & classify complex terms & with NERC (Named Entity Recognition & Categorization)

It is also ideal for managers or executives wondering how they might drive accelerated, large-scale adoption of data streaming across their enterprise in a governed, repeatable fashion.
Executive Briefing: Why managing machines is harder than you thinkPeter Skomoroch
Companies that understand how to apply machine intelligence will scale and win their respective markets over the next decade. That said, delivering on this promise is much harder than most executives realize. Without large amounts of labeled training data, solving most AI problems isn’t possible. The talent and leadership to bridge the worlds of product design, machine learning research, and user experience are scarce. Many organizations will tackle the wrong problems and fail to ship successful AI products that matter to their customers.
Pete Skomoroch explains how to navigate these challenges and build a business where every product interaction benefits from your investment in machine intelligence.
This talk was presented at the 2019 Strata Data Conference in London.
Topics include:
Who defines the data vision and roadmap in your organization?
Who is accountable for building and expanding your competitive moat?
Investing in foundational data infrastructure, training, logging, and tools
Fostering executive support for exploration and innovation, including user-facing data product and algorithm development
How to evaluate new machine intelligence projects and develop a portfolio that delivers
How AI product management differs from traditional product management
How to bridge the worlds of design and machine learning to get to product-market fit

Prompt Engineering - an Art, a Science, or your next Job Title?Maxim Salnikov
It's quite ironic that to interact with the most advanced AI in our history - Large Language Models: ChatGPT, etc. - we must use human language, not programming one. But how to get the most out of this dialogue i.e. how to create robust and efficient prompts so AI returns exactly what's needed for your solution on the first try? After my session, you can add the Junior (at least) Prompt Engineer skill to your CV: I will introduce Prompt Engineering as an emerging discipline with its own methodologies, tools, and best practices. Expect lots of examples that will help you to write ideal prompts for all occasions.
This session is based on my research and experiments in Prompt Engineering and is 100% relevant for cloud developers who investigate adding some LLM-powered features to their solutions. It's a guide to building proper prompts for AI to get desired results fast and cost-efficient.

Let's have a bird-eye view of the framework to make informed technical decisions, to make sure that we use the latest best practices, and to look into the future of our Angular projects with confidence.
Azure cloud for the web frontend developersMaxim Salnikov
It’s impossible to reason about modern web application without mentioning its front-end part – extensive, feature-rich, performant, sometimes with quite sophisticated structure and build process, but after all not requiring server-side code to construct it in the runtime, i.e. static. In the Azure cloud, we now have a special service for this kind of apps (including both classic SPAs and statically generated ones), empowering developers to focus on the business logic rather than the infrastructure that builds and hosts them.
In my technical session & demo, let's go through the full development flow: we scaffold a web front-end app, push it to the GitHub, set up Azure Static Web App service, enjoy the fully automatic build, and deploy to global high-availability hosting - all in a few minutes!
[Russian] Сервис-воркеры: используем накопленные знания для светлого будущего...Maxim Salnikov
Несомненно, 2018 - это год, когда Progressive Web Apps получат действительно широкое признание всех вовлеченных сторон: разработчиков браузеров, разработчиков веб-приложений, пользователей. Скорость и гладкость этого процесса в значительной степени зависят от того, насколько правильно мы, разработчики, используем возможности новых API. Основа всей идеи PWA - это Service Worker API, который отвечает за всю магию работы оффлайн, оптимизацию сетевых запросов, push-уведомления и массу других интересных и полезных вещей. В моей сессии, основанной на накопленном опыте разработки и поддержки PWA, мы пройдемся по списку: лучшие практики с примерами кода как избежать множества подводных камней последние новости с фронта поддержки PWA браузерами известные ограничения и как с ними жить масса полезной и практической информации о PWA
Онлайн-версия: https://slides.com/webmax/serviceworker-frontdays/
- Веб доказал свою применимость в качестве платформы для создания приложений и сервисов практически любого масштаба и направленности. - Новые веб-API позволяют полноценно использовать функциональность устройств, так что клиентской части веб-приложений больше незачем себя ограничивать рамками браузера. - Набор API, спецификаций и подходов к разработке, позволяющий создавать практически “нативные” приложения для любой платформы, используя навыки веб-разработчика, получил название PWA (Progressive Web Applications). - Сегодняшняя поддержка PWA всеми основными разработчиками браузеров говорит о том, что это может быть одним из главных векторов развития и распространения веб-технологий. - В выигрыше оказываются и разработчики (единая кодовая база), и пользователи (легкие, быстрые, функциональные приложения).

Why React Native as a Strategic Advantage for Startup Innovation.pdfayushiqss
Do you know that React Native is being increasingly adopted by startups as well as big companies in the mobile app development industry? Big names like Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest have already integrated this robust open-source framework.
In fact, according to a report by Statista, the number of React Native developers has been steadily increasing over the years, reaching an estimated 1.9 million by the end of 2024. This means that the demand for this framework in the job market has been growing making it a valuable skill.
But what makes React Native so popular for mobile application development? It offers excellent cross-platform capabilities among other benefits. This way, with React Native, developers can write code once and run it on both iOS and Android devices thus saving time and resources leading to shorter development cycles hence faster time-to-market for your app.
Let’s take the example of a startup, which wanted to release their app on both iOS and Android at once. Through the use of React Native they managed to create an app and bring it into the market within a very short period. This helped them gain an advantage over their competitors because they had access to a large user base who were able to generate revenue quickly for them.

Exploring Innovations in Data Repository Solutions - Insights from the U.S. G...Globus
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has made substantial investments in meeting evolving scientific, technical, and policy driven demands on storing, managing, and delivering data. As these demands continue to grow in complexity and scale, the USGS must continue to explore innovative solutions to improve its management, curation, sharing, delivering, and preservation approaches for large-scale research data. Supporting these needs, the USGS has partnered with the University of Chicago-Globus to research and develop advanced repository components and workflows leveraging its current investment in Globus. The primary outcome of this partnership includes the development of a prototype enterprise repository, driven by USGS Data Release requirements, through exploration and implementation of the entire suite of the Globus platform offerings, including Globus Flow, Globus Auth, Globus Transfer, and Globus Search. This presentation will provide insights into this research partnership, introduce the unique requirements and challenges being addressed and provide relevant project progress.
Providing Globus Services to Users of JASMIN for Environmental Data AnalysisGlobus
JASMIN is the UK’s high-performance data analysis platform for environmental science, operated by STFC on behalf of the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). In addition to its role in hosting the CEDA Archive (NERC’s long-term repository for climate, atmospheric science & Earth observation data in the UK), JASMIN provides a collaborative platform to a community of around 2,000 scientists in the UK and beyond, providing nearly 400 environmental science projects with working space, compute resources and tools to facilitate their work. High-performance data transfer into and out of JASMIN has always been a key feature, with many scientists bringing model outputs from supercomputers elsewhere in the UK, to analyse against observational or other model data in the CEDA Archive. A growing number of JASMIN users are now realising the benefits of using the Globus service to provide reliable and efficient data movement and other tasks in this and other contexts. Further use cases involve long-distance (intercontinental) transfers to and from JASMIN, and collecting results from a mobile atmospheric radar system, pushing data to JASMIN via a lightweight Globus deployment. We provide details of how Globus fits into our current infrastructure, our experience of the recent migration to GCSv5.4, and of our interest in developing use of the wider ecosystem of Globus services for the benefit of our user community.
Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?

23. Five questions before fine-tuning
1. Why do you want to fine-tune a model?
2. What have you tried so far?
3. What isn’t working with those approaches?
4. What data are you going to use for fine-tuning?
5. How will you measure the quality of your fine-tuned model?
24. When fine-tuning may be needed
• You are using a smaller language model
• Latency is critically important to use case
• Accuracy of the outputs of this model after prompt engineering does not meet customer requirements
• Your organization has thousands of high-quality, proprietary, domain hyper-specific example data as well
as ground truth and is committed to maintaining both assets over time
Important:
Fine-tuning promises improvement over few-
shot learning. However, the latest research
hasn’t demonstrated this conclusively.

28. Best practices of Fine-Tuning
Fine-tuning data set must be in JSON format
A set of training examples that each consist of a single input ("prompt")
and its associated output ("completion")
For classification task, the prompt is the problem statement, completion
is the target class
For text generation task, the prompt is the instruction/question/request,
and completion is the text ground truth
29. Best practices of Fine-Tuning
Fine-tuning data size: Advanced model (Davinci) performs better with limited
amount of data; with enough data, all models do well.
Fine-tuning performs better with more high-quality examples.
To fine-tune a model that performs better than using a high-quality prompt with
base models, you should provide at least a few hundred high-quality examples,
ideally vetted by human experts.
From there, performance tends to linearly increase with every doubling of the
number of examples. Increasing the number of examples is usually the best and
most reliable way of improving accuracy.
30. Tuning Fine-tuning
Fine-tuning is often an iterative exercise, involving:
• Fine-tune a model using training data set.
• Evaluate the model using evaluation metrics and evaluation data set.
• Analyze the metric results.
• Adjust the training data set (e.g., add more data for cases not covered
well by the data set), and repeat.
