Watermarking and Forensics for AI Models, Data, and Deep Neural Networks
In my previous paper posted here, I explained how I built a new class of non-standard deep neural networks, with various case studies based on synthetic data and open-source code, covering problems such as noise filtering, high-dimensional curve fitting, and predictive analytics. One of the models featured a promising universal function able to represent any type of smooth response, while leading to fast convergence. Here I explore weight sensitivity and distillation. The words weight and parameter are used […]

What Is Retrieval-Augmented Generation, aka RAG?
Editor’s note: This article, originally published on Nov. 15, 2023, has been updated. To understand the latest advancements 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 […]
