Integrating conversational case retrieval with generative planning
Advances in Case-Based Reasoning Research and Development: Proceedings of the 5th European Workshop on Case-Based Reasoning, EWCBR 2000, pp. 210-221.Some problem-solving tasks are amenable to integrated case
retrieval and generative planning techniques. This is certainly true for
some decision support tasks, in which a user controls the problem-solving
process but cannot provide a complete domain theory. Unfortunately,
existing integrations are either non-interactive or require a complete domain
theory and/or complete world state to produce acceptable plans
preventing them from being easily used in these situations. We describe
a novel integrated algorithm, named SiN, that is interactive and does
not require a complete domain theory or complete world state. SiN users
leverage a conversational case retriever to focus both partial world state
acquisition and plan generation. We highlight the benefits of SiN (e.g.
quadratically fewer cases needed) in an experimental study using a new
travel planning domain
Museum Experience Design: A Modern Storytelling Methodology
In this paper we propose a new direction for design, in the context of the theme “Next Digital Technologies in Arts and Culture”, by employing modern methods based on Interaction Design, Interactive Storytelling and Artificial Intelligence. Focusing on Cultural Heritage, we propose a new paradigm for Museum Experience Design, facilitating on the one hand traditional visual and multimedia communication and, on the other, a new type of interaction with artefacts, in the form of a Storytelling Experience. Museums are increasingly being transformed into hybrid spaces, where virtual (digital) information coexists with tangible artefacts. In this context, “Next Digital Technologies” play a new role, providing methods to increase cultural accessibility and enhance experience. Not only is the goal to convey stories hidden inside artefacts, as well as items or objects connected to them, but it is also to pave the way for the creation of new ones through an interactive museum experience that continues after the museum visit ends. Social sharing, in particular, can greatly increase the value of dissemination
GPT Models in Construction Industry: Opportunities, Limitations, and a Use Case Validation
Large Language Models(LLMs) trained on large data sets came into prominence
in 2018 after Google introduced BERT. Subsequently, different LLMs such as GPT
models from OpenAI have been released. These models perform well on diverse
tasks and have been gaining widespread applications in fields such as business
and education. However, little is known about the opportunities and challenges
of using LLMs in the construction industry. Thus, this study aims to assess GPT
models in the construction industry. A critical review, expert discussion and
case study validation are employed to achieve the study objectives. The
findings revealed opportunities for GPT models throughout the project
lifecycle. The challenges of leveraging GPT models are highlighted and a use
case prototype is developed for materials selection and optimization. The
findings of the study would be of benefit to researchers, practitioners and
stakeholders, as it presents research vistas for LLMs in the construction
industry.Comment: 58 pages, 20 figure
A Study on the Implementation of Generative AI Services Using an Enterprise Data-Based LLM Application Architecture
This study presents a method for implementing generative AI services by
utilizing the Large Language Model (LLM) application architecture. With recent
advancements in generative AI technology, LLMs have gained prominence across
various domains. In this context, the research addresses the challenge of
information scarcity and proposes specific remedies by harnessing LLM
capabilities. The investigation delves into strategies for mitigating the issue
of inadequate data, offering tailored solutions. The study delves into the
efficacy of employing fine-tuning techniques and direct document integration to
alleviate data insufficiency. A significant contribution of this work is the
development of a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) model, which tackles the
aforementioned challenges. The RAG model is carefully designed to enhance
information storage and retrieval processes, ensuring improved content
generation. The research elucidates the key phases of the information storage
and retrieval methodology underpinned by the RAG model. A comprehensive
analysis of these steps is undertaken, emphasizing their significance in
addressing the scarcity of data. The study highlights the efficacy of the
proposed method, showcasing its applicability through illustrative instances.
By implementing the RAG model for information storage and retrieval, the
research not only contributes to a deeper comprehension of generative AI
technology but also facilitates its practical usability within enterprises
utilizing LLMs. This work holds substantial value in advancing the field of
generative AI, offering insights into enhancing data-driven content generation
and fostering active utilization of LLM-based services within corporate
settings
Individuality and the collective in AI agents: Explorations of shared consciousness and digital homunculi in the metaverse for cultural heritage
The confluence of extended reality (XR) technologies, including augmented and virtual reality, with large language models (LLM) marks a significant advancement in the field of digital humanities, opening uncharted avenues for the representation of cultural heritage within the burgeoning metaverse. This paper undertakes an examination of the potentialities and intricacies of such a convergence, focusing particularly on the creation of digital homunculi or changelings. These virtual beings, remarkable for their sentience and individuality, are also part of a collective consciousness, a notion explored through a thematic comparison in science fiction with the Borg and the Changelings in the Star Trek universe. Such a comparison offers a metaphorical framework for discussing complex phenomena such as shared consciousness and individuality, illuminating their bearing on perceptions of self and awareness. Further, the paper considers the ethical implications of these concepts, including potential loss of individuality and the challenges inherent to accurate representation of historical figures and cultures. The latter necessitates collaboration with cultural experts, underscoring the intersectionality of technological innovation and cultural sensitivity. Ultimately, this chapter contributes to a deeper understanding of the technical aspects of integrating large language models with immersive technologies and situates these developments within a nuanced cultural and ethical discourse. By offering a comprehensive overview and proposing clear recommendations, the paper lays the groundwork for future research and development in the application of these technologies within the unique context of cultural heritage representation in the metaverse
