Real estate experts believe homebuyers will always want 'human touch' when making the 'biggest purchase'

FOX News

Dukaan CEO and founder Suumit Shah explains why he laid of 90% of his customer support staff after saying AI outperformed them. The real estate market might feel the shifts and impacts of artificial intelligence (AI). But when it comes to making perhaps the most significant purchase of one's life, homebuyers will want that human touch, experts told Fox News Digital. "I don't think it's going to replace how we necessarily do business and automate it, but I think it's going to enhance the amount of data that we have available," Pierre Debbas, co-managing partner of Rommer Debbas LLP, said. He argued it will allow Realtors to "provide the consumer with more accurate information and maybe a broader scope of data in making their decisions when buying a home." AI has already reshaped a number of industries, including the very industry that created it, leading to rapidly decreasing work opportunities and doomsday prophecies of no more tech jobs in five years.


Nvidia close to being first trillion-dollar chip firm on AI use

Al Jazeera

Nvidia Corp stock has soared about 26 percent, taking it closer to a market value of $1 trillion after the chip designer's stellar revenue forecast showed that Wall Street has yet to price in the game-changing potential of artificial intelligence. Thursday's surge added to a more than two-fold rise in the stock this year and was set to increase Nvidia's value by about $196bn to nearly $951bn, putting it on course for the largest single-day value gain for a US firm. That market capitalization makes Nvidia twice the size of the second-largest chip firm, Taiwan's TSMC. In the United States, it trails only the trillion-dollar value companies Apple Inc, Alphabet Inc, Microsoft Corp and Amazon.com The rosy earnings also sparked a rally in the chip sector and for AI-focused firms, lifting stock markets from Japan to Europe.


KEPR: Knowledge Enhancement and Plausibility Ranking for Generative Commonsense Question Answering

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Generative commonsense question answering (GenCQA) is a task of automatically generating a list of answers given a question. The answer list is required to cover all reasonable answers. This presents the considerable challenges of producing diverse answers and ranking them properly. Incorporating a variety of closely-related background knowledge into the encoding of questions enables the generation of different answers. Meanwhile, learning to distinguish positive answers from negative ones potentially enhances the probabilistic estimation of plausibility, and accordingly, the plausibility-based ranking. Therefore, we propose a Knowledge Enhancement and Plausibility Ranking (KEPR) approach grounded on the Generate-Then-Rank pipeline architecture. Specifically, we expand questions in terms of Wiktionary commonsense knowledge of keywords, and reformulate them with normalized patterns. Dense passage retrieval is utilized for capturing relevant knowledge, and different PLM-based (BART, GPT2 and T5) networks are used for generating answers. On the other hand, we develop an ELECTRA-based answer ranking model, where logistic regression is conducted during training, with the aim of approximating different levels of plausibility in a polar classification scenario. Extensive experiments on the benchmark ProtoQA show that KEPR obtains substantial improvements, compared to the strong baselines. Within the experimental models, the T5-based GenCQA with KEPR obtains the best performance, which is up to 60.91% at the primary canonical metric Inc@3. It outperforms the existing GenCQA models on the current leaderboard of ProtoQA.

In my last article, I explained how businesses need to differentiate between digital strategy, digitization and digitalization. The piece focused on how everyone uses the terms differently and, ultimately, how digitalization was really about thinking through how companies can best automate processes and practices in their organization. Case in point: Digitalization is converting an entirely or partially manual process to be entirely digital. This could involve automating workflows or processes. Digitization, on the other hand, is converting analog content to digital format.

ChatGPT is called 'an iPhone moment in AI,' but will it make money like the iPhone?

#artificialintelligence

As tech world goes gaga for latest chatbot, remember Watson's AI fame and subsequent fallout before getting too excited about the possibilities for the latest machine-learning wunderkind ChatGPT is the latest product of artificial intelligence to take away Silicon Valley's breath (and venture-capital investments), but it is also yet another AI advancement that has not proved its ability to live up to a large valuation. ChatGPT debuted about a month ago, offering a chatbot that appears leagues ahead of its predecessors. OpenAI, the company that created ChatGPT, said that it is in a research preview, and that it is collecting data to train its so-called large-language model. Projects like ChatGPT can be astounding, as they seek to test the limits of technology and push them farther. However, excitement for technological promise does not always lead to big financial returns.
