Does Google do Web3?

Innovation

Web 3 is the third generation of the internet, built on top of blockchain technology. It is a decentralized web that is owned and controlled by its users, rather than by large corporations. Web 3 is still under development, but it has the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with the internet.

Blockchain is a distributed ledger technology that allows for secure, transparent, and tamper-proof transactions. It is the underlying technology that powers cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, but it can be used for a variety of other applications as well.

Web 3 and blockchain are closely related. Blockchain is the technology that makes Web 3 possible, and Web 3 is the application of blockchain technology to the internet.

Here are some of the benefits of Web 3 and blockchain: Continue reading →

April 19, 2023 /Technology/ — A large language model (LLM) is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that is trained on a massive amount of text data. This data can be anything from books and articles to social media posts and code. LLMs are able to learn the statistical relationships between words and phrases, which allows them to generate text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way. LLMs can be used for a variety of tasks, including: Continue reading →

It is possible that AI training data could be banned by data regulators

Innovation, , , , , , , , , , ,

April 20, 2023 /Technology/ –It is possible that AI training data could be banned by data regulators like the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The GDPR is a comprehensive privacy law that gives individuals control over their personal data. The law also requires companies to obtain consent from individuals before collecting or using their personal data.

AI training data often contains personal data, such as images, videos, and text. This data can be used to train AI models to perform tasks such as facial recognition, natural language processing, and object detection. However, the collection and use of AI training data can raise privacy concerns. For example, individuals may not be aware that their personal data is being used to train AI models. They may also not be aware of how their personal data is being used or who has access to it.

Practical examples of combining Search Results with the Power of NLP (Natural Language Processing) and Semantic Knowledge

Innovation, , , , , , , , , , , ,

April 16, 2023 /Technology/ — We’ve all had that frustrating experience of trying to search for something and not finding the results we are after. By building systems that leverage NLP, we can infuse our systems with semantic knowledge and minimize this frustration for end users of our systems.
Free-text search can be limiting, requiring us to search using the exact set of keywords that have been indexed. To go beyond simple text matching requires an understanding of both the search intent and the semantic meaning of the words being searched.

Here are a few practical examples of combining search results with the power of NLP and semantic knowledge: Continue reading →
