Introduction to Blockchain Business ModelsGokul Alex
Blockchain provides new business models that can transform existing models. Some key models include:
- Token economies where tokens power functionality and enable value exchange within an ecosystem. Utility tokens exemplify this.
- Blockchain as a service allows businesses to outsource technical blockchain aspects while focusing on front-end development.
- Blockchain development platforms empower developers to build decentralized applications that require tokens to access network resources and provide value to users.
Cloud computing has emerged as an innovative and disruptive technology for government and industry.
In this presentation, Intelligo makes a business case for the implementation of Cloud technologies in businesses.
Data centers are growing to accommodate more internet-connected devices, with innovations helping achieve network coverage for billions of devices by 2020. As data centers grow, trends like software-driven infrastructure, microtechnology, and alternative energy use are making data centers more efficient by consolidating resources and reducing size. Hyperconvergence allows more efficient use of rack space by consolidating computer storage, networking, and virtualization in compact 2U systems from companies like Simplivity and Nutanix.
The document discusses the evolution of cloud computing from its early conceptualization to its current form. It explores how cloud computing has progressed from an undefined concept to widespread ubiquity due to increasing demand and continuous improvements by suppliers. Key factors that have driven this transition include the commoditization of infrastructure, the delivery of software and platforms as standardized services, and a shift towards viewing these resources as utilities rather than custom-built products.
IRJET- Blockchain Technology a Literature SurveyIRJET Journal

It discusses challenges of blockchain like scalability issues due to increasing transaction volumes. The document also summarizes potential applications of blockchain beyond cryptocurrencies in areas like smart contracts, supply chain management, healthcare records, and more. It concludes by noting ongoing work to address technical challenges and potential future advances in blockchain.
MLOps – Applying DevOps to Competitive AdvantageDATAVERSITY
MLOps is a practice for collaboration between Data Science and operations to manage the production machine learning (ML) lifecycles. As an amalgamation of “machine learning” and “operations,” MLOps applies DevOps principles to ML delivery, enabling the delivery of ML-based innovation at scale to result in:
Faster time to market of ML-based solutions
More rapid rate of experimentation, driving innovation
Assurance of quality, trustworthiness, and ethical AI
MLOps is essential for scaling ML. Without it, enterprises risk struggling with costly overhead and stalled progress. Several vendors have emerged with offerings to support MLOps: the major offerings are Microsoft Azure ML and Google Vertex AI. We looked at these offerings from the perspective of enterprise features and time-to-value.
This document discusses strategic dimensions for network and IT service providers entering the cloud computing market. It conducted a survey of experts on both the demand and supply sides of the industry. The survey found that cloud computing is seen as a good opportunity for both network and IT service providers to expand into. Experts said the top benefits of cloud computing are flexibility, scalability, cost savings, and business continuity. However, security and data confidentiality were cited as major concerns. The document provides recommendations on strategic positioning in areas like value proposition, branding, and customization to differentiate in the cloud computing market.

How Vector Databases are Revolutionizing Unstructured Data Search in AI Appli...Zilliz
"Powered by the popularity of ChatGPT, Llama2, and other LLMs, we've seen a huge surge in interest for vector databases in 2023 and 2024. Vector databases are commonly used to connect relevant documents with LLMs, through a process called retrieval augmented generation (RAG). RAG has seen widespread adoption, from single-person startups to Fortune 500 companies.
Despite the popularity of vector databases for LLMs, they are more broadly applicable for a variety of different types of unstructured data, i.e. any type of data that does not conform to a predefined data model, such as text, images, audio, molecules, and graphs. In this talk, we'll discuss some of the use cases for vector databases across many types of unstructured data."
The presentation will delve into the ASIMOV project, a novel initiative that leverages Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to provide precise, domain-specific assistance to telecommunications engineers and technicians. The session will focus on the unique capabilities of Milvus, the chosen vector database for the project, and its advantages over other vector databases.
Attending this session will give you a deeper understanding of the potential of RAG and Milvus DB in telecommunications engineering. You will learn how to address common challenges in the field and enhance the efficiency of their operations. The session will equip you with the knowledge to make informed decisions about the choice of vector databases, and how best to use them for your use-cases

We will also discuss Apache (incubating) Gravitino and its open source-first approach to data cataloging across multi-cloud and geo-distributed architectures.
Multimodal Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) with MilvusZilliz
We've seen an influx of powerful multimodal capabilities in many LLMs. In this talk, we'll vectorize a dataset of images and texts into the same embedding space, store them in Milvus, retrieve all relevant data using multilingual texts and/or images and input multimodal data as context into GPT-4o.
Specializing Small Language Models With Less DataZilliz
Most AI teams are exploring the possibilities of LLMs, rather than being focused on margins but soon efficiency will become important. Implementing small, specialized models to solve specific problems is an option, but is not leveraged often, because it requires gathering high volumes of human-labeled training data which are hard to acquire. To alleviate this problem, I will discuss how large language models can be used to generate synthetic data used to help tune small models on domain-specific tasks. We will focus on extractive question answering use case where additional unstructured context can help training.
