Large language models and Search

Microsoft’s made an aggressive and delightful splash in the search market by deeply integrating the guts of OpenAI’s large language model ChatGPT with Bing Search. There’s an impressive interview by Joanna Stern on the topic (hat tip to Daring Fireball for the link). There’s a potential there that’s amazing, and others that are truly frightening.Continue reading “Large language models and Search”

Priming and Pedagogy

A new year’s wander through a machine learning research paper led me down a really interesting rabbit role. Somewhere down the hole, I found a reference and have since been reading Thinking Fast and Slow, by Daniel Kahneman. The book was referenced by several AI/ML researchers, which is what got me started there. Chapter 4,Continue reading “Priming and Pedagogy”

Creating Machine Learning Models with CreateML

I have been following the bare outlines of building, and using, machine learning models in Apple’s software ecosystem for a while. Most of my learning and personal research has been with foundational technologies – following some of the frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, SciKit-Learn) and some of the advances in models and their results. Until this holiday,Continue reading “Creating Machine Learning Models with CreateML”
