New Book: No-Blackbox, Secure, Efficient AI and LLM Solutions
Large language models and modern AI is often presented as technology that needs deep neural networks (DNNs) with billions of Blackbox parameters, expensive and time consuming training, along with GPU farms, yet prone to hallucinations. This book presents alternatives that rely on explainable AI, featuring new algorithms based on radically different technology with trustworthy, auditable, […]

Watermarking and Forensics for AI Models, Data, and Deep Neural Networks
In my previous paper posted here, I explained how I built a new class of non-standard deep neural networks, with various case studies based on synthetic data and open-source code, covering problems such as noise filtering, high-dimensional curve fitting, and predictive analytics. One of the models featured a promising universal function able to represent any […]

10 Tips to Boost Performance of your AI Models
These model enhancements techniques apply to deep neural networks (DNNs) used in AI. The focus is on the core engine that powers all DNNs: gradient descent, layering and loss function. Reparameterization — Typically, in DNNs, many different parameter sets lead to the same optimum: loss minimization. DNN models are non-identifiable. This redundancy is a strength that […]

A New Type of Non-Standard High Performance DNN with Remarkable Stability
I explore deep neural networks (DNNs) starting from the foundations, introducing a new type of architecture, as much different from machine learning than it is from traditional AI. The original adaptive loss function introduced here for the first time, leads to spectacular performance improvements via a mechanism called equalization. To accurately approximate any response, rather […]

Synthesizing Multi-Table Databases: Model Evaluation & Vendor Comparison
Synthesizing multi-table tabular data presents its own challenges, compared to single-table. When the database contains date columns such as transaction or admission date, a frequent occurrence in real-world datasets, generating high quality synthetizations and model evaluation are even more complicated. In this article, we focus on this type of problems, comparing generated observations produced by […]

Data Synthetization: enhanced GANs vs Copulas
Using case studies, I compare generative adversarial networks (GANs) with copulas to synthesize tabular data. I discuss back-end and front-end improvements to help GANs better replicate the correlation structure present in the real data. Likewise, I discuss methods to further improve copulas, including transforms, the use of separate copulas for each population segment, and parametric […]
