This is because LLMs expand the capability of programs by adding judgment. | |
| Jan 25, 2025 | Data Day Texas + AI 2025 | Data Day Texas | keynote | What Superintelligence Will Look Like as De Umbra Superintelligence will be able to invent new knowledge and understand new situations. Current generative methods, such as the LLMs in chat models like ChatGPT,…Show lessSuperintelligence will be able to invent new knowledge and understand new situations. Current generative methods, such as the LLMs in chat models like ChatGPT, are insufficient for superintelligence because they only interpolate the human knowledge in their training data. | |
| Jan 27, 2024 | Data Day Texas + AI 2024 | Data Day Texas | speaker | Practical Large Language Models: Using LLMs in Your Business With Python as De Umbra LLMs can teach you the theory of general relativity, but let’s talk about something important. We will cover how you can use large language models (LLMs) such…Show lessLLMs can teach you the theory of general relativity, but let’s talk about something important. We will cover how you can use large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT in your business using the Python ecosystem. | |
| Jan 27, 2024 | Data Day Texas + AI 2024 | Data Day Texas | speaker | Survey of recent progress in intelligent robotics as De Umbra Robots are finally getting smart. This talk will survey this progress from the vantage points of hardware, intelligence, and simulation infrastructure. | |
| Jan 28, 2023 | Data Day Texas 2023 | Data Day Texas | speaker | How to build someone we can talk to as DeUmbra So many intelligent robots have come and gone, failing to become a commercial success. We’ve lost Aibo, Romo, Jibo, Baxter, Scout, and even Alexa is reducing…Show lessSo many intelligent robots have come and gone, failing to become a commercial success. We’ve lost Aibo, Romo, Jibo, Baxter, Scout, and even Alexa is reducing staff. | |

| Jun 13, 2022 | Data Day Texas 2022 | Data Day Texas | speaker | RLlib for Deep Hierarchical Multiagent Reinforcement Learning as DeUmbra Reinforcement learning (RL) is an effective method for solving problems that require agents to learn the best way to act in complex environments. RLlib is a…Show lessReinforcement learning (RL) is an effective method for solving problems that require agents to learn the best way to act in complex environments. RLlib is a powerful tool for applying reinforcement learning to problems where there are multiple agents or when agents must take on multiple roles. | |
| Jan 25, 2020 | Data Day Texas 2020 | Data Day Texas | speaker | Moving Your Machine Learning Models to Production with TensorFlow Extended as DeUmbra ML is great fun, but now we want it to solve real problems. To do this, we need a way of keeping track of all of our data and models, and we need to know when…Show lessML is great fun, but now we want it to solve real problems. To do this, we need a way of keeping track of all of our data and models, and we need to know when our models fail and why. | |
