Michael Ryaboy talks through hybrid search, a powerful technique that combines keyword and semantic search to revolutionize data retrieval. Hybrid search is perfect for contexts where embedding models aren't tailored to specific data, making it highly useful for various industries. In this video you'll learn: 🔍Hybrid search methods  ✨The many advantages of using hybrid search 🔧Fine-tuning methods for improved search accuracy ⚙️Use cases   📊How to create and manage sparse and dense vector columns Don't miss out on key insights and watch the full video to learn how to enhance your data retrieval processes: https://lnkd.in/gnPPpD3s #KX #DataScience #HybridSearch #DataAnalytics #AI #Innovation #SearchOptimization

Pleased to Announce: We are collaborating with Skunk Works®, the Advanced Development Programs division of Lockheed Martin, focusing on the evolution of Open Mission System Architectures.   We’re combining kdb+, our analytical database for time-series data, with Lockheed Martin's next-generation AI and data tooling technologies to develop a UK-based real-time situational awareness model, tailored for use across the armed forces.   It will support combined joint-all domain command and control (CJADC2), enhancing connectivity, coordination, and accelerating data access leading to improved decision-making and operational agility.    Read the full announcement: https://lnkd.in/e7u7n_Hr

In this edition of KX Pulse, we explore the transformative potential of unstructured data. We also cover: ✅ The new features available from the latest update to kdb Insights 📈 How to implement and refine pairs trading strategies using kdb+ ⚡️ Innovative quant trading applications using high-frequency data ⏰ A new course on how to set up a real time architecture in kdb+ Pour yourself a coffee and enjoy ☕️

In our latest webinar, Conor Twomey and Mark Palmer shared perspectives on processing high-frequency market data for low-latency decision-making. ⏱️ Real-time data gives you the immediate view of current market conditions.  💡When fused with historical data, you gain the ability to put those conditions into historical context quickly, for richer insights. 🏃🧠Mark said it best, “fast answers are good, but fast and smart answers are better.”  You can watch the full webinar here:  https://lnkd.in/eb_bhau6 #CapitalMakets #DataProcessing #DataAnalytics #TimeSeriesData

If you're not experiencing ROI from your GenAI efforts, you're not alone. In an article on Computerworld, Conor Twomey questions whether many enterprise executives have a realistic handle on what ROI should mean in a generative AI rollout, especially in the first year where it is mostly an experiment rather than a traditional deployment. Conor then shares some of the initial causes for a lack of ROI in GenAI projects including: 📉Unaligned business unit initiatives   📈Inflated expectations 💰Underestimated costs 🛠️Scalability issues  💬Hallucination & Trust Issues and more The article then dives into how to build an AI strategy that improves the value of your GenAI investment, sharing realistic approaches and goals for genAI projects.
