Zeta Alpha

We are heading to KMWorld 2024 in Washington DC from November 18 to 21! We're excited to be part of the premier event in knowledge management. Discover how our Generative AI solutions are transforming knowledge management: ➡ Leverage AI Enterprise Search and RAG Agents to find information effortlessly in a manner that feels familiar to users. Reduce research and other manual text-related tasks from weeks to minutes or create novel information products based on your expertise. ➡ Harness Gen AI to cleanse, organize, and enrich your data for more accurate insights. ➡ Deliver tailored content to users based on their needs and preferences. Visit us at our booth to explore these innovations, or reach out to us anytime—even if you can't make it to DC, we'd love to discuss your knowledge strategies together.

Celebrating the launch of State of AI Report 2024 today by Air Street Capital! The most comprehensive and impactful overview of where AI is today and where it is heading tomorrow. https://stateof.ai Some material that we contributed from the Zeta Alpha data treasure trove on AI Research. 1/ The recent changes in AI publication volumes per organization show interesting shifts in how corporare AI labs deal with the open/closed discussion. 2/ Alternatives to the Transformer architecture, like new RNN variants, SSM and Linear attention are emerging, but their adoption remains marginal compared to Transformers. 3/ AI Research in 2024 continues to rely on @nvidia as the most dominant compute platform, with other providers of compute not even close (it's a logarithmic scale!) 4/ But, some interesting hardware alternatives are emerging and growing fast, like Apple silicon, Google TPU's, Cerebras Systems and Groq. 5/ too late to be included in the State of AI Report, but check out Zeta Alpha's "Top-100 most cited AI papers", for a more detailed analysis of the AI R&D literature in our new blog post. https://lnkd.in/ehbEVSUu Congrats to Nathan Benaich, Alex Chalmers and team for pulling off this magnificent piece of work!

Analyzing the homerun year for LLMs: the top-100 most cited AI papers in 2023, with gold, silver and bronze medals for open models. The long awaited update to the Zeta Alpha analysis of the most impactful research papers in AI is out. Big changes in the ranking of various AI labs in the Zeta Alpha top-100 most cited papers. Microsoft made Google dance, also in the most cited AI papers of 2023. Read the full blog post by Mathias Parisot and check out our full top-100 list here: https://lnkd.in/ehbEVSUu

Exciting times in IR! In our latest Neural Search Talks episode, we interviewed Manuel Faysse about ColPali’s journey, the challenges, and the paradigm shift it brings. Catch it on YouTube and your favorite podcast platforms to wrap up your week (links below). This is easily one of the most impactful changes for document search engines in a long time: retrieval via combined vision and language AI models that read the page like a human eye, instead of clunky PDF preprocessing pipelines. You can find the latest episode, "ColPali: Document Retrieval with Vision-Language Models only", on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/dyKgSvFy As well as Spotify and Apple Podcasts: https://lnkd.in/dhBh7nSQ Let us know who you want to see next in the series!

Very excited for #OpenSearchCon NA 2024 tomorrow. Come to the Zeta Alpha booth for a chat and one of our legendary mugs.
