Predictive Maintenance in Industrial IoT With AI

This article explores the implementation of predictive maintenance models in industrial IoT settings and their significant impact on ensuring equipment reliability.

The Need for Predictive Maintenance in Industrial IoT

Traditionally, industrial facilities have relied on reactive maintenance strategies, addressing equipment failures after they occur. This approach often leads to unplanned downtime, increased maintenance costs, and potential safety risks. With the integration of IoT sensors and AI capabilities, predictive maintenance shifts the paradigm towards a proactive and data-driven strategy. While sized at 4.5 billion U.S. dollars in 2020, the market is projected to reach a size of 64.3 billion U.S. dollars by 2030.

Do We Really Need More Powerful Language Models?

Today people rarely question the connection: bigger models mean better models. Every new release of GPT by Open AI generates tremendous interest in traditional media and social media alike. However, do we need more powerful language models (foundational models) to help us with daily tasks?

For this article, I have talked to Ivan Smetannikov, Data Science Team Lead at Serokell, Ph.D. Computer Science, Associate Professor, and Senior Researcher at ITMO. He explains why ChatGPT might often be a massive waste of time and resources. And talks about alternative approaches to building NLP models that could bring the same results.

Interview With Ivan Altsybieiev and Dima Shvets, Co-Founders of Reface

Yulia: Hi, guys! Thank you for agreeing to meet me today. Let’s start with a simple question. How would you describe Reface in a few words? 

Ivan: Everything started with a face-swap. We created state-of-the-art technology and made it possible to provide it to more than 180 million people. Reface is an app that allows users to swap faces in images, GIFs, and videos in seconds and with high accuracy. Moreover, in 2021 we developed more AI tools for personalized content, which allow us to animate faces, place faces on objects, and voice over them), empowering users to generate completely new and viral content.

Open AI Codex Challenge Seen By the Participants

On the 12th of August, Open AI hosted a hackathon for all those interested in trying out Codex. Codex is a new generation of their GPT-3 algorithm that can translate plain English commands into code.

We at Serokell thought it would be interesting to try this out: right now free access to the beta is accessible only to a small group of people. One of our teammates got access to it after being on the waiting list for over a year.
