Transformers

Transformers are considered revolutionary in the field of AI since this deep learning architecture was first written in Google’s research paper “Attention Is All You Need” by Vaswani et al., in 2017.  The transformer model has now become the foundation for many state-of-the-art AI models and products like ChatGPT, Google Bard, Midjourney…

Before the transformer model, recurrent neural networks (RNNs) where data is processed sequentially, was a popular language AI architecture.  However, the transformer architecture uses the attention mechanism to look at the relationships among all the words simultaneously from many different angles and determine which words carry more weights.

Let’s ask GPT-4 to explain transformers in an easy-to-understand way.

Here's the intermediate explanation of transformers from GPT-4.

LSTM

 

Long short-term memory (LSTM) network is an improved version of recurrent neural network (RNN) where the system excels at sequence prediction tasks and capture long-term dependencies.  LSTM was first published in a technical paper by Sepp Hochreiter and Jürgen Schmidhuber.

Let's ask GPT-4 to explain LSTM at a basic level.

Here's the intermediate explanation of LSTM from GPT-4. 

LSTM network is effective at capturing long-range dependencies and retaining essential information over longer sequences.  However, LSTM network architecture is still a sequential model where the sentences are processed word by word.  In the next post we will explore an improved network model that revolutionized sequential data processing.

Mindmap Generator

 

In the previous mind map of ServiceNow’s Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) product created with GPT-4 + AI Diagrams, the map was not the optimal outcome that I envisioned.  Since I like what MyMap.AI's Mindmap Generator can do, I’ve requested it to produce a mind map for ServiceNow's GRC.  

The result was a professional-looking mind map with comprehensive product information.  This mind map also has editing features that allow users to add or remove nodes and texts to the users' specifications.  Click on image below for graph with legible texts.

In the age of AI, the pace of technological advancement and innovation is only accelerating.  The competitive advantage is going to shift to people who know how to access and summarize a large amount of information, present the result in a visually engaging way, and do all of this quickly.  Work is going to be an exhilarating ride from now on with AI.

MyMap.AI

 

There has been a proliferation of AI-powered applications on the market and it can be an overwhelming experience for users due to ever-increasing selections.  I’ve recently come across MyMap.AI which helps you to create, organize, and share your ideas.  MyMap.AI also has a set of free tools, one of which is the Mindmap Generator which generates mind map. 

Let’s test it out.  I’ve requested MyMap Mindmap Generator to create a mind map for a Go-to-Market strategy for ChatGPT.  I was impressed that the mind map presented a good strategy with a comprehensive action list.  Even more remarkable was the mind map created in only 15 seconds, in what traditionally would take hours to produce.  Click on image below for graph with legible texts.

The power of AI is amazing as it helps people to become more creative and productive.  I believe AI will enhance the quality of work going forward (providing there's safeguard in place to prevent AI from going rogue).  AI is here to stay so people should accept and adapt to this new reality the sooner the better.
