- Rebel Plus LlamaIndex Knowledge Graph Query Engine | FourthPortal
< Back Rebel Plus LlamaIndex Knowledge Graph Query Engine It works by extracting and storing triplets in the form of (subject, relation, object). colab.research.google.com 29 Jul 2023 LlamaIndex supports building and querying across knowledge graphs. It works by extracting and storing triplets in the form of (subject, relation, object). Then at query time, keywords from the query text are used to fetch triplets and the text chunks they came from to answer queries. The default settings will use the LLM to build the knowledge graph, which can be slow tons of token usage To remedy this, you can plug in any function to replace the default triplet extraction function! In this notebook, we demonstrate using Babelscape/rebel-large to extract triplets for us. This is a lighter-weight model fine-tuned to extract triplets for a knowledge graph. https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1G6pcR0pXvSkdMQlAK_P-IrYgo-_staxd?usp=sharing#scrollTo=vq2ZrAP9sl6Y For more: Previous Next

- Freesound In The Era Of Generative Artificial Intelligence | FourthPortal
< Back Freesound In The Era Of Generative Artificial Intelligence Freesound was started in 2005 in the Music Technology Group of Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, Spain. Freesound aims to create a huge collaborative database of audio snippets, samples, recordings, and all sorts of bleeps, released under Creative Commons licenses that allow reuse. In an era of AI, what is the future of this important resource. Freesound Blog 9 Jun 2024 Opening and closing paragraphs from the Freesound blog. Opening Paragraph In recent years, the phrase Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become part of our everyday conversations. In particular, since the explosion of generative AI models like ChatGPT or other models that can generate high-quality audio (e.g. AudioGen , AudioLDM 2 , and Stable Audio Open , which has just been released and is trained with Freesound sounds), AI systems have demonstrated being capable of doing things which were unimaginable only some years ago. We don’t know how AI will impact society at large, but it is very clear that AI is here to stay and that it will more and more become an important element in our lives. This is raising concerns, for example, within the artistic community, AI can be seen as a potential threat to the way in which many artists make their living, and one that questions the values of effort, skill and creativity. Concerns about the potential impact of AI on a platform like Freesound have also been expressed in the Freesound forums. Here, at the Music Technology Group of Universitat Pompeu Fabra where Freesound happens , we have also been discussing such concerns. [...] Closing Paragraph The overall question is how to use and integrate AI technology in a way that benefits the Freesound community, and this is what we are starting to address with this blog post. At the Music Technology Group, we conduct cutting-edge AI research while considering its social, economic, legal, ethical, cultural, and artistic implications . Research is being carried out, not only by us but also by many other research institutions, which provides new ways to address the threats raised by AI, contributing to a fair and responsible AI. And, again, Freesound is a very important resource for such research. In a similar way in which Freesound became a great example of a sound-sharing ecosystem based on Creative Commons licences, we have the opportunity now to become an inspiring example of how AI can be used to empower a community and to articulate positive experiences for sound practitioners alike. https://blog.freesound.org/?p=2082 For more: AI, Audio, LLM, Machine Learning Previous Next
- AI, Archaeology, Avatars and Pocahontas
Gravesend Innovation Showcase 2024 events, locations, talks, speakers and times. < Back AI, Archaeology, Avatars and Pocahontas Start Time 13:15 Running Time 30 Minutes Location 1. St George's Church Event Type Discussion About the Event Introduction The event will open with presentations from Favour Borokini and Mercedes Baptiste Halliday, exploring their unique disciplinary approaches to collecting, categorising, and representing the past. Together, they will delve into how AI and avatars may influence memorialisation and narratives in the future, focusing on the locally significant story of Pocahontas, believed to be interred at St George's Church in Gravesend. This thought-provoking discussion invites audience participation, offering a chance to engage with how technology reshapes our understanding of heritage and history and its impact on future history. More on the event lead Favour Borokini I am a PhD student with the Horizon Centre for Doctoral Training, hosted at the Faculty of Computer Science at the University of Nottingham, where I am researching an ethical framework to address harms in immersive environments. I hold a Law degree from the University of Benin, Nigeria, and I am a member of the Nigerian Bar. Since my Call, I have worked in several technology policy and research roles where I have leveraged my legal training to investigate the impact of technology on human rights, particularly women's rights. At my previous organisation, Policy, I was proud to lead our groundbreaking research cataloguing the impact of AI on African women and the experiences of African women working in AI across various sectors. Mercedes Baptiste Halliday Mercedes Baptiste Halliday is an artist, archaeologist-anthropologist, currently completing a DPhil at the University of Oxford as an ESRC scholar, having previously studied at UCL and the University of Cambridge. Alongside this, she is the Youth Governance Lead at the Council for British Archaeology and founder of Black Archaeo, an organisation seeking to increase the engagement of Black and Brown people with archaeology, heritage, art and natural spaces. Event Information This event is Free All ages This event is ideal for those interested in history, heritage, and the evolving role of technology in shaping narratives of the past. It will appeal to academics, students, and professionals in archaeology, museum practices, AI, and cultural studies, as well as anyone curious about the intersection of technology and storytelling. If you’re passionate about exploring who controls historical narratives and how figures like Pocahontas are remembered in the digital age, this discussion is for you. ___ Even more information ___ More on Mercedes Baptiste Halliday https://www.anthro.ox.ac.uk/people/mercedes-baptiste-halliday More on Favour Borokini https://www.favourborokini.com Previous Next
