How to Make Black-box Systems more Transparent

How to Make Black-box Systems more Transparent

A desire for understanding creates demand for information. An abundance of information creates a demand for machines. A system of machines creates new kind of information. A desire for understanding demands a new kind of machine. Blue or Grey dots?

https://lnkd.in/eZCk_gK7 SO MANY BAR(GRAPH)S! 'there are a lot of algorithms that play automated decision systems with kinda high stakes results.' --- 'algorithms that control our life that we're not even aware of... everything from the type of customer service you'll get to... whether you'll ' --- 'data is created by humans and humans are biased.' --- 'i could be one of those people making those decisions.' --- 'let me first get good at this, let me first become an expert at what I'm doing so I can take that expertise and move towards my longterm goals'

Want to know something cool? Companies will often let you "opt out" of collecting your data, but they don't want you to know about that option. Well, here at AbsolutelyNothing, we are shining a light 💡 on the opt out process for you so you can start to take control of your data. #takecontrolofyourdata #dataprivacy #optout

Our Chief Innovation Officer, Mark Campbell, was recently featured in an article on "Redesigning your organization for AI". "It's one thing to use a copilot to take on a relatively low-risk chore, such as writing an internal policy manual or figuring out how to distribute workloads across your data center, says Campbell. It's quite another to use an LLM to write your security automation scripts." To see the full article, click here: https://hubs.la/Q02BW17P0

🎉 So thrilled to announce the launch of Chat-docs today. Chat-docs is a powerful tool that lets you chat with your own documents in seconds (and it's free ✅). It includes the following features : - A user-friendly interface that lets you visualize your documents and interact with them. - A powerful LLM engine capable of extracting the most granular information from your documents. - Vision engine that enables the analysis of graphs, images, and formulas from your documents. - A secure upload system that encrypts your data, because security is our top priority. Simply upload your file and start asking questions immediately for free. 👨💻 Try it now on books, scientific papers, financial reports, legal documents etc. www.chat-docs.ai

Oops: Encapsulation versus abstraction Encapsulation : hiding data members and methods of a class . They can only be accessed using instances of that class. that is called encapsulation . eg . doctor prescribed 💊, and capsule hides the medical salt. Abstraction : end user is only aware of the contract , but is not aware of the implementation logic implemented by business. Eg : Driver is aware of functions such as brake , accelerator, but is unaware of implementation logic behind them . how do they work behind the scenes . The user sees the end movie , but is unaware of the processes of how the movie was made .

Instead of relying on the LLM to take a company's data and summarize it, or even retrieve it, the Voicebox LLM layer simply converts

Sometimes somebody makes a small comment and it triggers a whole chain of thoughts that you ultimately have to write down. This is one of those. It all started with a post that Jonathan Stratton made that included a comment about the transparency of Machine Learning models and open-source software. Here are my thoughts on that! Thanks to Rasmus Bro and Sean Roginski who's review of this greatly improved it. Also thanks to Jim Tung for a quote I've used many times over the years. https://lnkd.in/gn6FXKav #datascience #machinelearning #explainableai #opensource #chemometrics
