Anomaly Detection Techniques in Large-Scale Datasets

Anomaly Detection Techniques in Large-Scale DatasetsImage by Editor | Midjourney Anomaly detection means finding patterns in data that are different from normal. These unusual patterns are called anomalies or outliers. In large datasets, finding anomalies is harder. The data is big, and patterns can be complex. Regular methods may not work well because there is so much data to look through. Special techniques are needed to find these rare patterns quickly and easily. These methods help in many areas, like […]

AI-powered microgrids facilitate energy resilience and equity in regional communities

The rise of affordable small-scale renewable energy, like rooftop solar panels, is reshaping energy systems around the world. This shift away from fossil fuel-powered grids creates new opportunities for energy distribution that prioritize decentralized energy ownership and community empowerment. Despite this progress, centralized energy systems still dominate, often failing to provide vulnerable communities with reliable, affordable renewable energy. In response, Microsoft researchers are collaborating with local communities to explore how AI can enable community-scale energy solutions focused on energy

Introducing DRIFT Search: Combining global and local search methods to improve quality and efficiency

GraphRAG is a technique that uses large language models (LLMs) to create knowledge graphs and summaries from unstructured text documents and leverages them to improve retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) operations on private datasets. It offers comprehensive global overviews of large, private troves of unstructured text documents while also enabling exploration of detailed, localized information. By using LLMs to create comprehensive knowledge graphs that connect and describe entities and relationships contained in those documents, GraphRAG leverages semantic structuring

Python Closures: Common Use Cases and Examples

In Python, a closure is typically a function defined inside another function. This inner function grabs the objects defined in its enclosing scope and associates them with the inner function object itself. The resulting combination is called a closure. Closures are a common feature in functional programming languages. In Python, closures can be pretty useful because they allow you to create function-based decorators, which are powerful tools. In this tutorial, you’ll: Learn what closures are and how they work in […]

Leveraging Transfer Learning in Computer Vision for Quick Wins

Leveraging Transfer Learning in Computer Vision for Quick WinsImage by Editor | Midjourney Computer vision (CV) is a field where machines learn to “see” and understand images or videos. It helps machines recognize objects, faces, and even actions in photos or videos. For example, CV is used in self-driving cars to detect road signs and people, or in medical scans to spot diseases. Training a CV model from scratch can take a lot of time, data, and computer power. Transfer […]
