Today’s guest is Kirk Marple, Technical Founder and CEO at Unstruk Data. Kirk joins Seth Earley and Chris Featherstone to  discuss organizing historical data and long-term memory. Kirk emphasizes the importance of organizing data in a manner that allows for seamless integration with novel models and shares valuable advice on understanding data. 

Takeaways:

  • The semantic web serves as a powerful tool for optimizing business applications and data organization.  
  • A prevalent misconception surrounding AI is that individuals need to construct their own models and be data science experts. Advancements unfold at a rapid pace. People need to harness the power of AI and employ it strategically within their business operations.
  • Data lies at the core of everything. To optimize the utilization of emerging models effectively it is important to organize data in a way that seamlessly integrates with novel models. AI implementation needs to be approached with a practical mindset.  
  • In the last 6-9 months large language models have developed the ability to engage in meaningful conversations with their underlying data. This aspect of interactive communication tends to be overlooked. The focus often leans towards retrieval and entity extraction.
  • Over the years, people have addressed the issue of non-equalization of data intent through the provision of taxonomies. In the future Kirk anticipates that AI will play a pivotal role in enhancing this process. 

Quote of the Show:

  • “It’s a data set. Not just a hard drive.” (03:50)
