Technology Bricks: advanced integration
- Hugo Gonzalez Labrador (CERN)
Onedata[1] is a high-performance data management system with a distributed, global infrastructure that enables users to access heterogeneous storage resources worldwide. It supports various use cases ranging from personal data management to data-intensive scientific computations. Onedata has a fully distributed architecture that facilitates the creation of a hybrid cloud infrastructure with...
This year's releases of iRODS 4.3.1 as well as standalone APIs exposing iRODS systems via HTTP and S3 help new users use their existing, familiar tools to integrate with an iRODS Zone. This talk will cover the requirements, design, and initial releases of these new APIs.
The recent media buzz around so called “Artificial Intelligence”, divides users of IT systems into two polarized groups. One group is vocal about wanting to use these new tools and points out that these features are missing from offerings outside of IT giants like OpenAI/Microsoft and Google. The other group is worried about copy right and privacy issues that arise from having all your files...
This paper proposes the development of a closed-domain Question-Answering (QA) system for LBL ScienceIT, using the ScienceIT website as the data source. The focus is on evaluating different models, specifically two fine-tuned pre-trained language models and three retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) models. Through this comparison, insights into the performance of these models, based on...
The presentation focuses on the environmental impact of the technology industry, challenging the assumption that it is inherently eco-friendly. It highlights the significant carbon emissions from the tech sector, projected to triple by 2040 without intervention by the growth of AI. The content then shifts to the positive impacts of technology in various sectors like healthcare, education, and...
