Here’s the deal: AI giants get to grab all your data unless you say they can’t. Fancy that? No, neither do I.

The Guardian

Data is vital to AI systems, so firms want the right to take it and ministers may let them. We must wake up to the danger.

Imagine someone drives up to a pub in a top-of-the-range sports car – a £1.5m Koenigsegg Regera, to pick one at random – parks up and saunters out of the vehicle. They come into the pub you’re drinking in and begin walking around its patrons, slipping their hand into your pocket in full view, smiling at you as they take out your wallet and empty it of its cash and cards.

The not-so-subtle pickpocket stops if you shout and ask what the hell they’re doing. “Sorry for the inconvenience,” the pickpocket says. “It’s an opt-out regime, mate.”

Sounds absurd. Yet it seems to be the approach the government is pursuing in order to placate AI companies. A consultation is soon to open, the Financial Times reports, that will allow AI companies to scrape content from individuals and organisations unless they explicitly opt out of their data being used.

DataGemma refers to a new family of "Gemma" models from Google that are integrated with Data Commns, which is supposed to "reduce hallucination".

"Data Commons is a publicly available knowledge graph containing over 240 billion rich data points across hundreds of thousands of statistical variables. It sources this public information from trusted organizations like the United Nations (UN), the World Health Organization (WHO), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Census Bureaus. Combining these datasets into one unified set of tools and AI models empowers policymakers, researchers and organizations seeking accurate insights."

I clicked over to the Data Commons website and clicked "Demographics", then "What languages are spoken at home in California". It gave me a page, "California: Non-English Languages", which said: Spanish 10.5M, Chinese 1.12M, Tagalog 788K, Vietnamese 559K, Korean 360K, Arabic 205K, Hindi 203K, ... Hmm, I would not have expected a language from the Philippines (Tagalog) to exceed a language from India (Hindi).

Anyway, in case you're wondering how the integration works, there's two methods: RIG and RAG.

"RIG (Retrieval-Interleaved Generation) enhances the capabilities of our language model, Gemma 2, by proactively querying trusted sources and fact-checking against information in Data Commons. When DataGemma is prompted to generate a response, the model is programmed to identify instances of statistical data and retrieve the answer from Data Commons."

"RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) enables language models to incorporate relevant information beyond their training data, absorb more context, and enable more comprehensive and informative outputs. With DataGemma, this was made possible by leveraging Gemini 1.5 Pro's long context window. DataGemma retrieves relevant contextual information from Data Commons before the model initiates response generation, thereby minimizing the risk of hallucinations and enhancing the accuracy of responses."

#Punarvasu is a #Nakshatra in Hindu #astrology, which refers to the two brightest stars in the #constellation of #Gemini: #Castor and #Pollux. The stars Castor and Pollux (or in Greek, Polydeukes) were twin half-brothers in Greek and Roman mythology, known together as the Dioscuri. In Latin the twins are also known as the Gemini (literally “twins”)

The word Punarvasu is derived from Puna+ Vasu, which means return, renewal, restoration or repetition. The goddess of Punarvasu is #Aditi (Mother of all Sun Gods)

As per Mahabharata (Śānti.34.96–98), Budha ( #Mercury God) came to Aditi’s home for food and not getting served when he was hungry, he curses her to take re-birth again and again. She was mother for Vivasvān second time. Yima was son of Vivasvan.

If you observe correctly, Sanskrit #Yama is also interpreted as “the twin,” perhaps reflecting an Indo-Iranian belief in a primordial Yama and Yami pair. We can locate parallels between Avestan Yima and Sanskrit Yama, for instance, Yima was the son of Vivaŋhat, who in turn corresponds to the Vedic Vivasvat, “he who shines out”, a divinity of the Sun.

The Gods, the children of Aditi, are basically and essentially are different from children of Diti, who are demons. This nakshatra is all about getting things back to it.

This is the #birth nakshatra of Lord #Rama as captured in Valmiki Ramayana.

“On completion of the ritual six seasons have passed by and then in the twelfth month, on the ninth day of Chaitra month [April–May,] when the presiding deity of ruling star of the day is Aditi, where the ruling star of day is Punarvasu (Nakshatra), the asterism is in the ascendant, and when five of the nine planets viz., Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Venus are at their highest position, when Jupiter with Moon is ascendant in Cancer, and when day is advancing, then Queen Kausalya gave birth to a son with all the divine attributes like lotus-red eyes, lengthy arms, roseate lips, voice like drumbeat, and who took birth to delight the Ikshwaku dynasty, who is adored by all the worlds, and who is the greatly blessed epitome of Vishnu, namely Rama.”
— Book I: Bala Kanda, Ramayana by Valmiki, Chapter (Sarga) 18, Verse 8, 9, 10 and 11

Googles neue Abhörtechnologie könnte Regierungen dazu veranlassen, das Scannen von Geräten vorzuschreiben

Digitale Betrügereien werden immer raffinierter, und Googles jüngste Innovation bietet einen vielversprechenden #Schutzmechanismus. Aber wie bei allem, was #Google als Fortschritt anpreist, könnten die Auswirkungen auf das Leben und die Implikationen der #Technologie zu einem großen Problem für die #bürgerlichen #Freiheiten werden.

Wie auf der Entwicklerkonferenz I/O bekannt gegeben wurde, testet das Unternehmen eine neue Funktion zur #Anrufüberwachung, die #Android-Nutzer vor #Telefonbetrug schützen soll. Diese Funktion nutzt #Gemini #Nano, eine vereinfachte Version von Googles großem #Sprachmodell Gemini, das lokal auf den Geräten ausgeführt werden kann, um betrügerische Sprache und Muster bei Anrufen zu erkennen und die Nutzer in Echtzeit zu warnen. Diese Entwicklung ist ein wichtiger Schritt im Kampf gegen Betrug, wirft aber auch kritische Fragen zum #Datenschutz und zum Potenzial für breitere Anwendungen auf, die die persönlichen Freiheiten verletzen könnten.

Gemini Nano: Ein mächtiges Werkzeug gegen Betrug

Gemma is a new family of open source models from Google based on Google's Gemini models.

The 2 billion model is trained on 2 trillion tokens and the 7 billion model is trained on 6 trillion tokens. All text, primarily English "from web documents, mathematics, and code." Unlike Gemini, these models are not multimodal, nor are they trained for multilingual tasks. The text is filtered to remove "unsafe" content.

Number of layers is 18 for the 2 billion model and 28 for the 7 billion model. The number of attention heads goes from 8 to 16 when going from the 2 billion to 7 billion model.

They use something called rotary positional embeddings, instead of regular positional embeddings, now called absolute positional embeddings. So what this is about is the input is a sequence of "tokens", which are also called "embeddings", and never mind that that's a term that doesn't make any sense. I think the term "token" is more intuitive. What these really are are vectors, where the numbers in the vectors relate to the semantic meaning of the word the vectors are a "token" for. These are input in sequence but people have found the "attention" mechanism (which, remember, is what "transformers" do even though you would never guess that from the word "transformer") works better if it is provided additional "positional" information.

Here, though, they want to give "relative" rather than "absolute" positional information. That's accomplished with a "rotation matrix", which is why the technique is called "rotary positional embeddings". I don't know how the "rotation matrix" works and I don't feel at the moment that this is an important enough detail to dwell on, so let's continue.

The tokenizer is SentencePiece, which you may remember from the original Gemini announcement. It uses self-supervised learning at the character level to create the tokens, unlike OpenAI's Byte Pair Encoding tokenizer, which relies on a preprocessor that breaks text into words ahead of time. SentencePiece is supposed to work better on languages like Chinese and Japanese that don't care about putting spaces between words. SentencePiece is also said to do a better job at handling rare words (the so-called "out-of-vocabulary" words).

They replaced the standard ReLU activation function with GeGLU. "ReLU" is short for "rectified linear" and is the smart person's way of saying you chop off the negative numbers and just make them 0. Weirdly enough this is enough non-linearity for neural networks to learn non-linear functions. GeGLU stands for, ehhh, I have no idea what it stands for. The "GLU" part stands for "Gated Linear Unit". It looks like GeGLU does the GLU operation twice. The GLU operation in turn is a tensor product with, it looks like, some learnable parameters. It's a lot more complicated than ReLU, and it's been shown to improve transformer models. Why it improves transformer models, I have no idea.

There's a "normalization" system that normalizes both the input and the output of each transformer sub-layer, "a deviation from the standard practice of solely normalizing one or the other." "Normalization" here means "normal" in the statistical sense -- remember your Gaussian bell curve is also called the "normal" distribution" -- what it does is re-center the numbers around 0 with a standard deviation of 1.

They claim it outperforms LLaMa 2 (both 2 billion and 7 billion models) and Mistral, at question answering, reasoning, math & science, and coding. However, one tester (Matthew Berman) did not find the experience too good (see below) so I'm wondering if it lives up to these claims.

Gemma: Introducing new state-of-the-art open models

#solidstatelife #ai #genai #llms #gemini #openmodels

waynerad@diasp.org

Problem solving across 100,633 lines of code in Google Gemini 1.5 Pro.

The code is for generating some animations.

"What controls the animations on the littlest Tokyo demo?"

The model finds the demo and explains the animations are embedded within a glTF model. The videos doesn't explain what glTF is -- apparently it stands for "GL Transmission Format", where "GL" in turn stands for "graphics library" as it does in "OpenGL".

"Show me some code to add a slider to control the speed of the animation. Use that kind of GUI the other demos have."

The show the code and the slider which was added to the scene, which works.

Next, they give it a screenshot of a demo and asked where the code for it was.

There were a couple hundred demos in the system (they never say exactly how many) and it correctly finds the one the matches the image.

"How can I modify the code to make the terrain flatter?"

Gemini finds the function that generates the height and the exact line within the function to modify. It also provided an explanation of why the change worked.

For the last taks they show, they use a 3D text demo that says "three.js".

"How can I change the text to say, 'goldfish' and make the mesh materials look really shiny and metallic?"

Gemini finds the correct demo and showed the precise lines in it to change, along with an explanation of how to change material properties such as metalness and roughness to get a shiny effect.

THE GOPHER REVIVAL IS UPON US

A maxim for anyone writing a web page in the mid 1990s was that it was good practice to bring the whole thing (including graphics) in at around 30 kB in size. It was a time when the protocol still had some pretence of efficient information delivery, when information was self-published, before huge corporations brought everything under their umbrellas.

Recently, this idea of the small web has been experiencing something of a quiet comeback.
