Author: Farruh Introduction We are on the cusp of a new era in artificial intelligence. With multimodal AI, the synergy between audio, visual, and textual data is not just an idea but an actionable reality, in which the Qwen Family of Large Language Models (LLMs) plays a pivotal role. This blog will serve as your gateway to understanding and implementing multimodal AI using Alibaba Cloud’s Model Studio, Qwen-Audio, Qwen-VL, Qwen-Agent, and OpenSearch (LLM-Based Conversational Search Edition). Here is the demo video link High-Level Architecture Overview At its core, the multimodal AI we ..read more

By Farruh Artificial Intelligence has transcended from a buzzword to a vital tool in both business and personal applications. As the AI field grows, so does the need for more efficient and task-specific models. This is where fine-tuning and quantization come into play, allowing us to refine pre-built models to better suit our needs and to do so more efficiently. Below is a guide designed to take beginners through the process of fine-tuning and quantizing a language model using Python and the Hugging Face Transformers library. The Importance of Fine-Tuning and Quantization in AI Fine-tuni ..read more

By Yuriy Yuzifovich , Head of Security Innovation Lab (SIL) of Alibaba Cloud, Thanh Nguyen, Principal Data Scientist at SIL, and Anastasia Poliakova, Sr. Security Engineer, SIL Introduction Cyber-attacks are becoming more sophisticated, and more automated. With modular code reuse and minor file tampering to generate different binary files to bypass rule-based or signature-based methods, the number of malware samples keeps accelerating and making it very difficult for the cybersecurity community to detect, track, and report these variations. In some extreme cases of highly-variable malwar ..read more

*By Qingfeng* 1. Background Java applications are expected to start quickly because of the advent of the cloud-native era. It is becoming increasingly popular to reduce resource costs by dynamically scaling and using serverless computing. Alibaba has done a lot of work and exploration to meet the demands for quick start of applications in Serverless computing scenarios, including AppCDS, Ahead of Time Compilation (AOT), fast class indexing(JarIndex), class pre-initialization, and other technologies to optimize language runtime. Users can obtain up to three times the startup performance improv ..read more

A hypervisor is a software layer installed on the physical hardware, which allows splitting the physical machine into many virtual machines. This allows multiple operating systems to be run simultaneously on the same physical hardware. The operating system installed on the virtual machine is called a guest OS, and is sometimes also called an instance. The hardware the hypervisor runs on is called the host machine. A hypervisor management console, which is also called a virtual machine manager (VMM), is computer software that enables easy management of virtual machines. Types of hypervisor The ..read more

1. Supply Chain Management Supply chain management is to coordinate the internal and external resources of the enterprise to jointly meet the needs of consumers. When we regard the enterprises in each link of the supply chain as a virtual enterprise alliance, and regard any enterprise as a department in this virtual enterprise alliance, the alliance’s Internal management is supply chain management. It’s just that the composition of the alliance is dynamic and changes at any time according to market needs. Effective supply chain management can help achieve four goals: Reduce cash flow time ..read more

A tag cloud is a set of related tags and their corresponding weights. A typical tag cloud has 30 to 150 tags. Weights affect the font size or other visual effects used. Meanwhile, histograms or pie charts are most commonly used to represent about 12 different weights. Therefore, tag clouds can represent more weight, albeit less accurately. Furthermore, tag clouds are often interactive: tags are typically hyperlinks that allow users to take a closer look at their content. 1. Classification of Tag Clouds According to the role of tag cloud (not style), it can be divided into three cate ..read more

Business problems are too broad, deep, and complex for one tool to solve them all, especially in the field of big data and analytics. This article describes 6 alternative technologies for data storage. 1. Structured data storage Structured data storage has been around for decades and is the most familiar data storage technology. Most transactional databases (such as Oracle, MySQL, SQL Server, and PostgreSQL) are row-based databases because they handle frequent data writes from software applications. Businesses often use transactional databases simultaneously for reporting, in which ..read more
