Is Green AI theory or is it possible for AI systems? – By Aditya Abeysinghe Artificial Intelligence (AI) based systems are often memory and computationally intensive systems due to multiple training cycles involved. An AI algorithm often does not provide proper output without using multiple cycles of training as it cannot update its algorithm to minimize errors which are captured in each cycle. However, systems which host these AI algorithms should be capable to withstand these heavy resource-intensive processes. Green AI is an AI methodology where AI systems are changed to be environmentally friendly with less resources used for training. Red AI The cost of computation is calculated by the number of floating-point operations per second. Typically, during training an AI model the number of floating-point operations per second are in quadrillions for a supercomputer and less for a personal computer. With increased use of AI in the past decade, ...

Communication to the customer: A Virtual Reality usage By Aditya Abeysinghe Virtual reality (VR) is a concept which simulates an environment using hardware and software. VR is used by many for different uses, and this has made VR a growing tech in the domain of simulations. The use of VR has rapidly increased in the past few decades due to low-cost hardware required and the ability to use VR devices with minimal knowledge. Use of VR for various activities in marketing is on one such use. Use of VR in marketing communications Traditional marketing communications involved communicating with the customer using an advertising medium. Digital and printed media were used along with in-store and indirect selling methods. Different methods of selling products sprung with marketing using the Internet.

How AI is changing producer to buyer bond: AI Marketing By Aditya Abeysinghe Marketing was used to reach out buyers from early days of distribution, manufacturing and selling of goods and services. With electronic marketing, new ways of establishing marketing links with consumers are used. Today, from social media marketing to automated marketing, tech is used for many activities. With use of tech, a new issue is the massive data volume that is generated due to multi-channel marketing strategies used by sellers. Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in marketing has been a new solution to solve this concern. Where is AI used Big data and social media are two terms that were introduced in the past few years. Analyzing big data to efficiently make decisions has been an issue with the use of multiple social media methods and mass marketing. Often software which can bring insights to marketers to identify ...

Semantic Search: How semantics control search engine searches By Aditya Abeysinghe Search engines are now a part of every internet user’s flow of activities. Users search data using queries and the output is categorized into several categories like websites, videos, news etc. Most search queries typically do not provide information on which data to be shown back. Therefore, a search of related data is often required to show relevant data to the user. Search of relevant data for a query is done by matching semantics to words on a user query. History of search Searching on keywords of a query entered by a user was the first method that was used by search engines. In this method, whenever a user submits a query, the entire query was used as the search engine’s input to search for content. Caveats of this technique were the low-quality content displayed as the content with ...

Data Fabric: Where are my data sources? By Aditya Abeysinghe In a previous article, I explained about *data management in multiple cloud environments. Multiclouds, as described in that article are used to distribute applications in multiple cloud environments. However, when applications are distributed in multiple clouds, monitoring, managing and providing a uniform flow of data is often time consuming, costly and requires additional resources. Therefore, a platform from which all these data can be integrated is useful. A data fabric is a data management model where all data endpoints of applications in multiple hosts can be integrated. What advantages do data fabrics provide? As I explained in a previous article about *Self-service integrations, they (Self-service integrations) enable users who are in non-technical teams to integrate apps into existing systems. With self-service integrations, these teams can access data and perform tasks they require with less time rather than requiring technical teams ...

Data Management Strategies in Multiple Clouds By Aditya Abeysinghe The “cloud” has been one of the most trending paths in systems and application deployment during the past few years. The cloud has built-in functions for computation, analysis and networking and it dominates almost all application-specific functions we use at present. With the growing use of cloud services, several types of clouds have been proposed. Not only single clouds, multiple clouds have also been researched. In this article, several multiple cloud types are explained from a data and application management angle. Public and Private clouds Public clouds refers to cloud services provided by a cloud service provider where computing services such as storage are shared with other users. With public clouds, multiple users may access the same resource at the same time. For example, multiple users may store data in the same file system in the same storage allocated. Therefore, privacy ...
