GlobeNewswire — Tue, 09 Jan 2024 09:18:57 +0000

Rajant Corporation, the pioneer of Kinetic Mesh wireless networks, along with Rajant Health Incorporated (RHI), a division of Rajant that is developing cutting-edge technology to provide health insights on-demand, will unveil its new edge AI platform during the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas Venetian Meeting Center in Room Zeno 4610 on January 9^th – 12^th. Known as the Cowbell, the edge AI platform is a distributed computing hub and platform-as-a-service to streamline and simplify the delivery and management of AI applications at the edge.

According to Muthu Chandrasekaran, Ph.D. RHI VP of Artificial Intelligence, “There has been explosive growth in the number of connected devices in recent years, and without edge computing, the amount of data generated from these devices would severely overwhelm and adversely impact most of today’s enterprise networks. Furthermore, the inflated costs and latencies introduced by the cloud render cloud-hosted AI-based low-latency decision support systems almost impossible, not to mention that the productization of AI and its maintenance is very difficult and complex. The Cowbell platform simplifies this complex problem by providing software, hardware, and networking infrastructure necessary to bring distributed cloud native computing to the edge with what we’re calling MLOps-in-a-Box. By leveraging Rajant’s patented InstaMesh networking technology, the Cowbell platform facilitates a secure, fault-tolerant, highly available distributed computing cluster over mesh, the first of its kind. Scaling the cluster is automatic when additional Cowbells are added to the deployment.”

Those visiting Rajant at CES will also be introduced to Q-Stat, a cutting-edge wearable device created to transform your work experience. The Q-stat’s flexible design strategy allows for all types of different packaging, intended to serve various markets, from people to animals.

Software Code Clean Up Slowed by Pending Regulations; Many Turning To Gen AI and Unit Tests

GlobeNewswire — Tue, 09 Jan 2024 08:31:16 +0000

New compliance requirements called DORA pushing banks to generative AI solutions to meet 2025 deadlines, according to Diffblue

Diffblue, creators of the world’s first fully autonomous generative AI-for-code software announced dramatically increasing demand for AI-powered software unit testing solutions, especially among banks, as firms rush to meet new, stringent software code quality regulations.

A year ago, the European Parliament approved the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), which will enter into force in 2025. It includes six key components for financial services to address to bolster their digital resilience. ESAs will increase their supervision on financial institutions and will implement stronger controls.

“AI automation is changing the banking industry in many ways but it is also helping firms automate and improve compliance initiatives to meet the requirements of stricter software code quality standards,” said Mathew Lodge, CEO of Diffblue, developers of Diffblue Cover, an automated Java software unit testing solution.

The financial stakes are high.

Last December UK regulators fined bank TSB more than $60 million for failures in risk management and governance after an IT outage locked two million customers out of their accounts. The fine stemmed from a botched migration of TSB customers to Spanish bank Banco Sabadell which had acquired TSB in 2015.

The mistakes cost CEO Paul Pester his job and TSB had to spend nearly half a billion dollars to resolve the problems and compensate customers. Regulators accused TSB of failure to organize and control the IT migration program adequately and manage the operational risks.

DORA will require companies to focus on a Digital Resilience Strategy accompanied by a Digital Resilience Framework. It requires an end-to-end view of the entire ICT landscape that supports critical business functions. Proper unit testing of software can mitigate these risks tremendously, documenting in advance that the code will perform as intended.

Diffblue Cover is helping scores of banks adopt DORA and keep regulators at bay when modernizing legacy mission-critical Java applications. Unit tests written by Diffblue Cover enable rapid understanding of complex applications allowing customers to innovate with confidence. It’s also the only fully-automated generative AI solution that can autonomously write new code, improve existing code, accelerate CI pipelines and provide deep insight into risks associated with change without requiring manual review.

To see a demo of Diffblue Cover, please visit here. Experts at Diffblue will schedule a convenient time to show you how AI for Code and Diffblue Cover can:

Speed up modernization of your Java applications;
Protect your code from regressions;
Ship code with fewer customer-found defects
Make life easier for your development teams;
Reduce the risk of code breakages in fragile applications;
Maximize unit test coverage;
Get new insights into your code’s testability and health

WiMi’s PBO Algorithm: Elevating Blockchain and Bitcoin Trading

GlobeNewswire — Mon, 08 Jan 2024 14:41:09 +0000

WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc., a leading global Hologram Augmented Reality (“AR”) Technology provider, announced that the probability of backtest overfitting algorithm (PBO) was used to blockchain and bitcoin trading strategies. PBO is computed based on the combinatorial symmetric cross-validation framework (CSCV) and is designed to quantify the risk of overfitting in small sample backtests. With PBO, it is possible to assess the overfitting probability of a strategy in a single backtest, thus reducing the risk of a poorly performing live model. However, relying on backtesting results alone is not enough. In order to obtain models that perform better out-of-sample, WiMi has developed a dynamic optimization algorithm based on PBO, namely the “PBO-DOA algorithm”. This algorithm is important in quantitative trading because it can dynamically optimize the model’s parameters to help investors build optimal portfolios.

PBO-DOA could be applied in blockchain and bitcoin trading strategies. By optimizing the weight allocation of a portfolio, the algorithm is able to maximize returns and control risk. This provides an effective tool for investors to better manage their portfolios and thus realize better investment returns. Suppose there is a portfolio that contains multiple blockchain and bitcoin-related assets such as bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin, etc. At this point, using PBO-DOA it is possible to optimize the return of the portfolio by adjusting the weights of each asset:

First, WiMi collects historical market data for each asset, including key information such as price and trading volume. Subsequently, by employing PBO-DOA, the expected return and risk of each asset are precisely calculated. The core idea of the algorithm is to fully consider the correlation and covariance matrices between assets in order to develop a reasonable asset weight allocation. It aims to find an optimal portfolio that maximizes expected return and minimizes risk. Here is an example, there are three assets: bitcoin, ethereum, and Litecoin. Using PBO-DOA, the expected return and risk of each asset can be accurately calculated and the optimal asset weight allocation can be further found. Based on the calculation results of the algorithm, the optimal weight allocation scheme can be analyzed as 40% for Bitcoin, 30% for Ether, and 30% for Litecoin. Therefore, in order to realize the optimal portfolio, 40% of the funds should be invested in Bitcoin, 30% in Ether, and the remaining 30% in Litecoin.

The PBO-DOA is based on in-depth analysis of large amounts of transaction data and model training, which can provide more accurate predictions and decision support. By studying historical Bitcoin price and transaction data, the algorithm is able to successfully identify market trends and cycles, thus helping traders develop more effective trading strategies. In addition, through in-depth mining and analysis of blockchain data, PBO-DOA reveals hidden trading laws and patterns.

Blockchain, as an open and transparent transaction record database, provides rich data resources, and it is based on these data that PBO-DOA uncovers traders’ behavioral patterns and potential market opportunities. By monitoring the data and analyzing it in real-time, the algorithm helps traders adjust their strategies in time to adapt to the dynamic changes in the market. Given the volatility of the Bitcoin market, real-time data monitoring and analysis is particularly important, and PBO-DOA’s powerful real-time data analytics help traders quickly capture market dynamics and make decisions accordingly.

WiMi’s PBO-DOA allows for more scientific optimization of blockchain and bitcoin trading strategies, thereby increasing portfolio returns and controlling risk. Algorithms in blockchain and bitcoin trading strategies are over-optimizing the weight allocation of portfolios, maximizing returns, and controlling risks. By considering the correlation and covariance matrices between assets, it helps investors find an optimal weight allocation scheme to construct an optimal portfolio.

Syntiant Achieves 50 perce Acceleration of Large Language Models for Edge Devices

GlobeNewswire — Mon, 08 Jan 2024 13:39:51 +0000

Syntiant Corp., a leader in edge AI deployment, announced results of its first optimizations that reduce the computational footprint of leading large language model (LLM) architectures, enabling these massive neural networks to run on cloud-free, always-on devices at the edge of networks.

“We are focused on making edge AI a reality, bringing low power, highly accurate intelligence to edge devices,” said Kurt Busch, CEO at Syntiant. “Our core model optimizations enable considerable processing time acceleration across a range of compute platforms. Those same optimizations, which Syntiant has deployed across millions of devices worldwide, have been successfully applied to LLMs, bringing conversational speech to the edge, serving as the new interface between humans and machines.”

Syntiant used a novel algorithm to determine the sparsity fraction of LLMs to generate significant speedups in output token generation and reduce memory footprint. The company achieved 50% sparsity with minimal accuracy loss when computing with 8- bit quantized weights, significantly improving interpretability and processing power, while reducing cloud costs. These improvements, along with a custom SIMD (single instruction/multiple data) kernel and several other algorithmic innovations, enable Syntiant to achieve a 50% increase in output token generation speed on a LLaMa-7B benchmark.

“Syntiant continues to lead the category of low power NLP with production-ready solutions that directly address voice AI workload efficiency and could enable smarter conversational endpoints with generative AI. At M12, Microsoft’s Venture Fund, we’re proud to back Syntiant who we feel will help establish a ‘first mile’ standard for future speech-to-speech AI use cases,” said Michael Stewart, partner at M12.
