AI & ML Research

Researchers are exploring the root causes of AI hallucinations, suggesting that most failures in Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) systems stem from retrieval errors rather than model invention. Autoencoders and latent space concepts are being introduced as tools to address the heavy computational demands associated with generative AI, particularly for unstructured data introducing autoencoders.

The economics of running AI locally are also under scrutiny. One analysis measured the actual GPU electricity costs for eight local LLMs on an RTX 3090, finding that performance did not strictly correlate with model size or price. Meanwhile, professionals in data analytics are re-evaluating their careers in light of AI advancements, acknowledging the evolving landscape and adapting their skillsets.
