Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) are gaining renewed attention for developing and open sourcing a technique that allows large language models (LLMs) — like those underpinning ChatGPT and most modern AI chatbots — to improve themselves by generating synthetic data to fine-tune upon. The technique, known as SEAL (Self-Adapting LLMs), was first…

Enterprises often find that when they fine-tune models, one effective approach to making a large language model (LLM) fit for purpose and grounded in data is to have the model lose some of its abilities. After fine-tuning, some models “forget” how to perform certain tasks or other tasks they already learned.  Research from the University…

A new research paper quietly published last week outlines a breakthrough method that allows large language models (LLMs) to simulate human consumer behavior with startling accuracy, a development that could reshape the multi-billion-dollar market research industry. The technique promises to create armies of synthetic consumers who can provide not just realistic product ratings, but also…

Employee training is crucial for enhancing productivity and engagement in the workplace. Innovative methods, such as hands-on workshops, gamification, and multimedia content, can make learning more effective and enjoyable. On-the-job training provides immediate feedback, whereas microlearning offers quick, digestible lessons. These strategies not just improve knowledge retention but likewise encourage collaboration among employees. Comprehending how…

Your best data science team just spent six months building a model that predicts customer churn with 90% accuracy. It’s sitting on a server, unused. Why? Because it’s been stuck in a risk review queue for a very long period of time, waiting for a committee that doesn’t understand stochastic models to sign off. This…

Imagine you do two things on a Monday morning. First, you ask a chatbot to summarize your new emails. Next, you ask an AI tool to figure out why your top competitor grew so fast last quarter. The AI silently gets to work. It scours financial reports, news articles and social media sentiment. It cross-references…

As small businesses increasingly explore the potential of AI agents to streamline operations, a recent survey by Asana highlights both the promise and pitfalls associated with their adoption. Conducted among 2,025 knowledge workers across the UK and the US, the findings present a multifaceted view on how these technologies could shape the future of work,…

Effective onboarding is crucial for retaining employees and enhancing their performance. By implementing five key strategies, organizations can create a smoother shift for new hires. These strategies include pre-boarding to build engagement, integrating Learning & Development from day one, establishing mentorship programs for support, encouraging social connections within teams, and maintaining regular check-ins for feedback.…

AI tools are revolutionizing software development by automating repetitive tasks, refactoring bloated code, and identifying bugs in real-time. Developers can now generate well-structured code from plain language prompts, saving hours of manual effort. These tools learn from vast codebases, offering context-aware recommendations that enhance productivity and reduce errors. Rather than starting from scratch, engineers can…
