Generative AI 101

Models

  • LLM: “Large Language Model” collection of massive amounts of ingested information
  • Foundation Model: Pre-built large language model (commercial or open source)
  • Transformer: Underlying statistical engine that powers the language model

Inputs

  • Prompt: The human or machine-generated input request to the model
  • Vectors: Hundreds of numerical dimensions representing each word or concept
  • Embeddings: Data that is put into the language model in Vector format

Training

  • Grounding: Mitigating risk using approaches such as retrieval augmented generation (RAG)
  • Tuning: Using a training set of sample data to teach the model to work
  • Weighting: “Black box” of billions of statistical coefficients used in models’ inner workings

Lucidworks AI

Lucidworks Platform with Lucidworks AI now includes integration capabilities for all generative AI and large language models (LLMs).

Recent Gen AI tools such as Open AI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Vertex.ai make AI search capabilities even more accessible and create new opportunities to build best-in-class digital experiences.

Here’s what Lucidworks AI can do:

  • Integrate with any LLM to reduce time-to-value and seamlessly incorporate the most advanced Gen AI technologies
  • Provide the necessary guardrails and enrichments—security trimmings, data enrichment, content exclusion, and merchandising optimization—while providing the most value from the latest AI technologies
  • Enhance LLMs with centralized pre-trained embeddings to cultivate deeper contextual understanding between a user’s search intent and relevant documents within a vector space

Lucidworks AI grounds large language models (LLMs) in truth and capitalizes on generative AI to improve search experiences through the following ways:

ML Operations Application

Manage LLMs easily from a centralized place. Lucidworks AI enables enterprises to power generative AI features—such as LLM-powered summaries, retrieval augmented generation, and more.

Gen AI Execution Capabilities

Solve complex use cases with Lucidworks AI’s search enrichment packages. These packages include solutions for—but not limited to— B2B commerce, booking and navigation, case deflection, and knowledge mining.

Security and Guardrails

Validate generative AI responses against credible sources. Lucidworks AI empowers clients with extensive control around security, data enrichment, content exclusion, merchandising, and experience optimization.

Education and Guidance

Lucidworks has over 10 years of experience handling diverse large-scale models. A Lucidworks partnership includes AI expert services, model training, best practices, AI benchmarking, and our S.T.A.R. governance standard.
