Making the Knowledge Layer a Graph You Actually Traverse

Traditional knowledge layers often falter when retrieval quality hinges on precise question phrasing. We're shifting that paradigm. Our approach reimagines the knowledge layer as a traversable graph, ensuring consistent results regardless of query wording. This involves rebuilding with graph traversal on every query, incorporating bitemporal edges for nuanced context, and employing a two-threshold entity resolution process.

Comparing embedding models with synthetic query probing [R]

Evaluating different embedding models—like transitioning from ADA to Titan—can be surprisingly complex. Direct comparison of embedding spaces isn't inherently possible, so how do you determine equivalency or establish useful thresholds for retrieval? Our research addresses this with Synthetic Query Probing, a straightforward method that compares similarity spaces instead. By analyzing similarity scores across models for paired content, we reveal non-linear relationships and varying ranges, as illustrated in our recent paper.

Noise-aware training for analog hardware: accuracy collapses at a threshold rather than degrading smoothly [D]

Analog in-memory compute is experiencing renewed interest due to its potential for energy efficiency, yet noise remains a persistent challenge. Recent experimentation reveals a surprising characteristic of analog AI degradation: accuracy doesn't diminish gradually with noise, but rather collapses abruptly past a specific threshold. Intriguingly, noise-aware training—introducing noise during the training process—can significantly elevate this threshold. This suggests flatter minima are crucial, though alternative explanations are being explored. See "Comparing embedding models with synthetic query probing" for related insights into model evaluation.
