WiMi Developed Digital Twin Modeling Technology Based on Multiple Data Sources

Leave a comment

BEIJING, Oct. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (NASDAQ: WIMI) (“WiMi” or the “Company”), a leading global Hologram Augmented Reality (“AR”) Technology provider, today announced that it developed digital twin modelling technology based on multiple data sources to build more comprehensive, accurate, and reliable digital twin models.

This technology refers to the integration of data from different sources into a unified model. In digital twin modelling, the multiple data source integration technique can help us obtain more comprehensive and accurate data, thus improving the precision and reliability of the digital twin model.

The key modules of the integrated digital twin modelling system based on multiple data sources include data acquisition and pre-processing, data integration and consolidation, model development and training, model deployment and real-time updating, and visualization and analysis, etc., which are interdependent and interact with each other, and collectively constitute the key aspects of the integrated digital twin modelling technology.

First, the system will collect data from multiple data sources and pre-process and clean them to ensure the quality and consistency of the data, including data cleansing, data conversion, data merging and other operations. Then the data from different data sources will be integrated into a unified data model. This may require operations such as data mapping, data transformation, and data integration to ensure that data between different data sources can be effectively correlated and analyzed. The development of the model for digital twin modelling is then carried out and the integrated data is used for model training and optimization by selecting appropriate modelling algorithms, defining the structure and parameters of the model, and using the training data to train and validate the model. Next, the trained model is deployed to a real-time environment and receives and processes data from different data sources in real-time. This may involve operations such as the deployment of the model, real-time transmission of data, and real-time updating of the model to ensure that the digital twin model reflects real-world changes in real time. This module is responsible for visualizing and analyzing the results of the digital twin model so that users can understand and utilize the output of the model, and providing the application of visualization tools and analytical algorithms to support users’ understanding and decision-making on the model results.

With access to more data sources and more complex data integration requirements, future digital twin modelling techniques may need to deal with multi-modal data, including different forms of data such as image, sound, and video. Multiple data sources integration needs to be able to process and analyze this multi-modal data to more fully model and predict real-world behaviour. Future digital twin modelling technologies are also likely to be more automated and intelligent, and by combining machine learning, artificial intelligence, and automation technologies, it will be possible to automate the data integration and modelling process to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the models. There will also be more focus on real-time data processing and real-time updating of models to more accurately reflect changes in the real world, as well as cross-domain applications and integration between different domains to achieve a more comprehensive and holistic digital twin model, all of which are future trends in the digital twin modelling technology based on multiple data sources.

The rapid development of big data, cloud computing, the Internet of Things and other technologies has significantly improved data acquisition, storage and processing capabilities, which provides the technical basis and support for the realization of the digital twin modelling technology with multiple data sources. The digital twin modelling technology with multiple data sources researched by WiMi has a wide range of application prospects in many fields, such as industrial Internet, smart city, virtual reality and so on. With the continuous progress of data acquisition and processing technology, as well as the increasing demand for intelligent and sustainable development, this technology will be further developed and innovated.

Leave a comment

SINGAPORE, Oct. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Recently, Colossal-AI built a remarkable domain-specific large language model (LLM) by utilizing only a few hundred dollars training costs. It can be readily applied across various domains, facilitating the economical construction of large AI models.

The solution is accessible without any commercial restrictions, with complete transparency extended to the entire training process, code, and model weights.

Technical details, open-source code and weights are available at : https://github.com/hpcaitech/ColossalAI

Bridging from any general large models to any domain-specific large models with only a few hundred dollars.
Bridging from any general large models to any domain-specific large models with only a few hundred dollars.

Performance

Colossal-AI’s model not only enhances Chinese language capabilities but also further refines its proficiency in English. Remarkably, it exhibits performance levels that rival state-of-the-art (SOTA) models of similar scale within the open-source community.

In conjunction with this, Colossal-AI offers the comprehensive evaluation framework, ColossalEval, facilitating cost-effective reproducibility.

In addition, fine-tuning through methods like SFT and LoRA has limitations in effectively infusing knowledge and capabilities from the base model. It doesn’t satisfactorily meet the requirements for constructing high-quality domain-specific knowledge or specialized model applications.

Bridging from General Large Models to Domain-specific Large Models

More importantly, the creation of a Chinese version not only offers the advantage of reusability but also carries significant importance in real-world implementation scenarios.

It’s widely recognized that the cost of pre-training large AI models from scratch is exorbitant, often humorously referred to as a domain accessible only to those with “50 million dollars” to spare.

Many tech giants and AI startups are eager to invest heavily in building large general-purpose models. However, behind the generality of these large models often lies a lack of domain-specific knowledge. Consequently, the issue of practical applicability becomes particularly serious.

If a domain-specific large model can be rapidly and cost-effectively constructed, followed by fine-tuning for specific business needs, it would undoubtedly advance the deployment of applications, providing a competitive advantage.

Applying the above process to perform knowledge transfer in any field allows for the cost-effective construction of lightweight domain-specific foundational large models.

For constructing foundational large models from scratch, one can also draw inspiration from the aforementioned experiences and Colossal-AI’s cost-reduction and efficiency-enhancing capabilities to efficiently achieve this goal at minimal cost.

Colossal-AI System Optimization and Cloud Platform

The impressive performance and cost advantages are built upon the foundation of the low-cost AI large model development system, Colossal-AI.

Colossal-AI leverages efficient techniques to reduce the costs of large AI models training, fine-tuning, and inference. It has collaborated with numerous Fortune 500 companies and other well-known enterprises.

To further enhance the efficiency of large model development and deployment, Colossal-AI has been upgraded to the Colossal-AI cloud platform, which is now in public beta, and registration will provide you with vouchers.

Harnessing AI to Find Ideal Business Partners in International Trade

Leave a comment

REHOBOTH BEACH, Del., Sept. 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Securing trustworthy business partners in international trade has always been a challenging task, requiring years of meticulous and painstaking groundwork, careful analysis, and the courage to deal with uncertainty. This article explores how cutting-edge AI tools, such as Volza, have been innovatively tackling these persistent challenges.

Evaluating potential partners from their online presence has been a formidable hurdle. There are no foolproof methods to ensure the competency and reliability of these entities based solely on their digital footprint. Conducting in-person visits, although insightful, is both time-consuming and costly. Moreover, transactions with unfamiliar buyers could result in bad debts, while dealings with unknown suppliers might yield subpar products or even lead to a total loss of the advance payment.

These hurdles are particularly daunting for professionals in the export-import industry aiming to broaden their global trade reach. In response, an AI-Powered tool like Volza allows professionals to strategically use the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning to navigate these challenges and make informed decisions. Volza provides an extensive global trade database, including complete shipment details through bills of lading. This tool arms users with essential information about active exporters and importers, capturing years of their export-import experience, current buyers and suppliers, transaction frequency, ongoing orders, shipment volumes, pricing, consignment numbers, and an exhaustive trade history. With this wealth of data, users can confidently assess and choose suitable business partners.

Vijay Sethia, Director of Chamanlal Sethia, one of India’s foremost rice exporters, testifies to the transformative impact of these tools. According to Sethia, the introduction of trade data portals has empowered them to dramatically expand their business operations. Gone are the days of protracted struggles, with years spent on marketing, traveling, and product sampling. Today, importers and exporters can swiftly map out their market, efficiently identifying trustworthy and reliable business partners in just a matter of hours.

While other trade databases like Panjiva and ImportGenius offer similar services, they seem to cover fewer countries. A glance at the Volza website shows that it provides trade data for more than 80 countries, while Panjiva and ImportGenius support a trade base across 10 and 14 countries, respectively.

Michael Robinson, Director of Volza, emphasizes their mission to expedite the entire process of identifying suitable business partners. “We aim to make it quicker, more cost-effective, and feasible. Users can bypass years of relentless effort, elevating their businesses to new heights with confidence, and in a fraction of the traditional timeframe,” he explains.

Platforms like Volza also overcome the obstacle of procuring direct contact details for key decision-makers. Whether it’s the export head, import head, or other relevant stakeholders, Volza’s built-in function provides access to their contact information and even links to their LinkedIn profiles.

In conclusion, AI’s integration into international trade is ushering in a transformative era. Platforms like Volza are making the identification and evaluation of business partners more efficient and reliable. By offering extensive trade data and essential contact information, these platforms are setting new benchmarks in the sector. It’s clear that AI-powered trade data tools are more than clever business strategies; they are now a prerequisite for success in the globalized marketplace. As AI and Big Data technologies continue to evolve, their impact on facilitating international trade will only expand, heralding a future where global business expansion is seamless and confident.
