Microsoft to make coding ‘in plain English’ easier with PowerFx and GPT-3 AI model

Microsoft is integrating AI technologies with its PowerFx low-code programming language. This integration will enable customers to use natural-language input and “programming by example” techniques when developing with PowerApps.

Microsoft announced the coming new capabilities during the opening day, May 25,  of its virtual Build 2021 developers conference. Officials said these new features will be in public preview in English throughout North America by the end of June.

PowerFx is the low-code textual programming language Microsoft announced earlier this year. PowerFx, an open-sourced, formula-based tool, is built on Microsoft Excel.

Microsoft is using GPT-3 (Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3) and the Program Synthesis Using Examples (PROSE) software development kit. GPT-3 is a natural-language AI model from OpenAI, an organization with which Microsoft has been collaborating for a while. The PROSE technology comes from Microsoft Research and is already integrated into Power BI, Excel, and Visual Studio.

Officials said the integration of GPT-3 in Power Apps represents the first time GPT-3 is being integrated into one of its own commercially available products. GPT-3 is running on Azure and is powered by the Azure Machine Learning Service. (Microsoft has a license to the code behind the GPT-3 model which allows it to integrate the GPT-3 technology directly into its own products.) Specifically, this  GPT-3 natural-language capability uses a new Azure Machine Learning feature announced at Build called managed endpoints to help with the deployment of models of all sizes in Azure without having to manage the underlying compute infrastructure.

Microsoft is portraying the kinds of scenarios that natural-language integration into PowerFx and Power Apps will provide as enabling a whole new level of “being able to code in plain English.” Before today’s development, Microsoft’s Power Platform users still needed to understand the basic logic of writing formulas. But now they can type commands like “Show 10 orders with a certain product in the name and arranged from newest to oldest purchase” and get the same result.

OpenAI released last year an Azure-power programming interface that allowed developers to check out GPT-3’s capabilities. Microsoft officials said they plan to bring GPT-3 integration into Azure and other mainstream products. Officials already said they plan to integrate Power FX with other parts of the Power Platform, and the new natural language features powered by GPT-3 will be part of this at that time.

I’m Sorry! Evernote Has A New ‘Home’ Now

Original Source Here My Apologies! I was critical about the grandfather of all apps — Evernote a few months back when I wrote Why is Evernote losing its Ground? on Medium. With that said, I also wrote another story on Evernote in November of last year — Has Evernote Made A Comeback After Years Of Stagnation? This was the time when Ian Small and his team were making inroads into the technology and strategically making enhancements and revamping the app across all platforms. Evernote Is At A War-front And Wants To Prove A Point. I must h ave written this in my earlier blogs but just to re-iterate — I have been and am an avid user of Evernote since 2009 and is a part of my life for planning my daily life, projects, content writing, and almost everything. Recently, Evernote has launched its HOME or you may call it a DASHBOARD that provides its users a one-stop place to get access to their important and critical notes and also provides a few AI-enabled capabilities that I wil

Jensen Huang , CEO of Nvidia , received the distinguished lifetime achievement award by the Asian American Engineer of the Year from the Chinese Institute of Engineers (CIE) group. And in his acceptance speech, he made a rare comment beyond Nvidia’s business matters: “Racism is one flywheel we must stop.” The comments came at the end of an acceptance speech where he thanked the group for its award, an annual gathering that recognizes outstanding Asian American scientists, engineers and role models. In a virtual ceremony, Huang was awarded for his contributions as “a visionary and innovator in parallel computing technology that accelerates the realization of AI computing.” He also spoke of his experience as an immigrant and an Asian American. “It is strange to accept a lifetime achievement

Fully Explained DBScan Clustering Algorithm with Python

Original Source Here Fully Explained DBScan Clustering Algorithm with Python Unsupervised learning in machine learning on density-based clusters Clustering In unsupervised Learning. A photo by Author In this article, we will discuss the machine learning clustering-based algorithm that is the DBScan cluster. The approach in this cluster algorithm is density-based than another distance-based approach. The other cluster which is distance-based looks for closeness in data points but also misclassifies if the point belongs to another class. So, density-based clustering is suited in this kind of scenario. The cluster algorithms come in unsupervised learning in which we don’t rely on target variables to make clusters. In a cluster, the main concern is on maximum dense connected points. The density-based clustering can be useful in arbitrary shapes even with noise. The working function of the density-based cluster is shown below: We select a random data point. Then it will
