What exactly does word2vec learn, and how? Answering this question amounts to understanding representation learning in a minimal yet interesting language modeling task. Despite the fact that word2vec is a well-known precursor to modern language models, for many years, researchers lacked a quantitative and predictive theory describing its learning process. In our new paper, we finally provide such a theory. We prove that there are realistic, practical regimes in which the learning problem reduces to unweighted least-squares matrix factorization. We solve the gradient flow dynamics in closed form; the final learned representations are simply given by PCA. Learning dynamics of…

For many businesses, the promise of data-driven decision-making is out of reach – held back by manual processes across specialized tools and teams, and a shortage of technical expertise to manage them all. It’s time to finally focus on what matters most: using your data to drive better results, faster. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce new conversational AI and intelligent automation in the Precisely Data Integrity Suite: Gio AI Assistant is an AI assistant that makes data management conversational and accessible – removing barriers to data and enabling faster action A Data Catalog Agent that strengthens governance by automating the identification…

In advance of Ignite, I spoke to Shireesh Thota, CVP Databases at Microsoft, about the new service. He described the rationale for a new PostgreSQL variant: I think increasingly what we notice is that people either go into the bucket of, “I want to lift and shift my PostgreSQL that’s working in the community version on-premises, or maybe another cloud.” They want to move it to Azure. They want 100% Postgres. They want all extensions working. They just want something that really has the flexibility of performance and speed. Then Azure Database for PostgreSQL, the existing version is perfect. Somebody…

A technical manager at a Dutch wind farm operator has been sentenced to 120 hours of community service after it was discovered he had secretly installed cryptocurrency mining rigs at two wind farm sites – just as the company was recovering from a ransomware attack.Wind farm operator Nordex discovered that its turbines were not only generating green energy, but were also powering a secret cryptocurrency mining operation at two of its sites in Gieterveen and Waardpolder.The unnamed rogue employee, who is in his forties, connected three cryptocurrency mining rigs and two Helium network nodes (a device which acts as both…

A pure sine wave inverter will help you establish a reliable, high-quality power source whenever, wherever. These devices convert direct current (DC) power from a battery or other DC power source into high-quality alternating current (AC) that you can use in your RV, boat, or throughout your home. It stands to reason why a pure sine wave inverter is such a worthwhile investment. But how do they operate, and how do they compare to their modified sine wave counterparts? In this post, we examine pure sine wave inverters in-depth by answering the above questions. Additionally, we discuss why you should…

If you are like me, reading broadly about how things get done, the people who get it done, and the things that impact work, especially the future of work, then you pick up on the emergence of new words, phrases and terminology that peak our interest in learning more about them. “Culture tax” is a term I have seen growing in usage in the past year. My job takes me into a wide range of warehouses and distribution centers that are part of the “food chain” that makes what you eat available in your supermarket of choice. The cost of…

The Apple Store today announced its Black Friday shopping event, which runs November 28 through December 1. Shoppers can get up to a $250 gift card when buying eligible Mac, iPhone, iPad, Watch and more. Apple’s gift card promotions don’t generally represent the best value for money. For instance, you can buy AirPods 4 on Amazon right now discounted more than the $25 gift card value Apple is offering in this promotion. As always, for the best deals around, check out 9to5Toys. This year, shoppers participating in Apple’s Black Friday event can get a $250 gift card when they buy…

By tuning the work function of PEDOT:PSS electrodes, researchers enhance photodetector efficiency and adaptability, advancing the future of optoelectronic systems Image of electricity (Courtesy: iStock/Johan63) Photodetectors convert light into electrical signals and are essential in technologies ranging from consumer electronics and communications to healthcare. They also play a vital role in scientific research. Researchers are continually working to improve their sensitivity, response speed, spectral range, and design efficiency. Since the discovery of graphene’s remarkable electrical properties, there has been growing interest in using graphene and other two-dimensional (2D) materials to advance photodetection technologies. When light interacts with these materials, it…

User satisfaction stands as the cornerstone of software success. Gone are the days when software development was solely about functionality and features.
