Spotting user-defined flexible keyword in real-time is challenging because the keyword is represented in text. In this work, we propose a novel architecture to efficiently detect the flexible keywords based on the following ideas. We contsruct the representative acousting embeding of a keyword using graphene-to-phone conversion. The phone-to-embedding conversion is done by looking up the embedding dictionary which is built by averaging the corresponding embeddings (from audio encoder) of each ph

CEOs must not overlook the intricacies of genAI costs. CEOs must integrate the multifaceted costs into their strategic vision, acknowledging nuances such as inference cost, fine-tuning cost, prompt engineering cost, cloud expenses, talent costs, and operation costs. Additionally, CEOs need to be vigilant about often overlooked expenses, including infrastructure overhaul, data security, and ethical considerations.

To understand the latest advance in generative AI , imagine a courtroom. Judges hear and decide cases based on their general understanding of the law. Sometimes a case — like a malpractice suit or a labor dispute — requires special expertise, so judges send court clerks to a law library, looking for precedents and specific cases they can cite. Like a good judge, large language models ( LLMs ) can respond to a wide variety of human queries.

Start-ups & SMBs launching products quickly must bundle dashboards, reports, & self-service analytics into apps. Customers expect rapid value from your product (time-to-value), data security, and access to advanced capabilities. Traditional Business Intelligence (BI) tools can provide valuable data analysis capabilities, but they have a barrier to entry that can stop small and midsize businesses from capitalizing on them.

Large Language Models (LLMs) with billions of parameters have drastically transformed AI applications. However, their demanding computation during inference has raised significant challenges for deployment on resource-constrained devices. Despite recent trends favoring alternative activation functions such as GELU or SiLU, known for increased computation, this study strongly advocates for reinstating ReLU activation in LLMs.

We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
