[Virtual] PRO Session: Striking the Balance: Leveraging Human Intelligence with LLMs for Cost-Effective Annotations

Thursday February 20, 2025 9:30am - 9:55am PST

Shambhavi Srivastava, Appen, AI Solutions Architect

Data annotation involves assigning relevant information to raw data to enhance machine learning (ML) model performance. While this process is crucial, it can be time-consuming and expensive. The emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) offers a unique opportunity to automate data annotation. However, the complexity of data annotation, stemming from unclear task instructions and subjective human judgment on equivocal data points, presents challenges that are not immediately apparent.

In this session, Chris Stephens, Field CTO and Head of AI Solutions at Appen will provide a overview of an experiment that the company recently conducted to test the tradeoff between quality and cost of training ML models via LLMs vs human input. Their goal was to differentiate between utterances that could be confidently annotated by LLMs, and those that required human intervention. This differentiation was crucial to ensure a diverse range of opinions or to prevent incorrect responses from overly general models. Chris will walk audience members through the dataset used as well as methodology for the experiment, as well as the company’s research findings.

[Virtual] PRO Session: How Can Engineering Leaders Measure the Impact of GenAI

Thursday February 20, 2025 10:00am - 10:25am PST

VIRTUAL AI DevWorld Main Stage

Yishai Beeri, LinearB, CTO

Generative AI has taken the world by storm since its general availability to the public in early 2023. Going from novel technology to commodity in months, this disruptive technology quickly found applications in the software development world - and many engineering organizations are trying to capitalize on the disruptive technology.

Nearly every engineering organization has adopted, or is thinking about adopting GenAI as a tool for developers. It has become wildly popular for everything from generating code, to writing and deploying tests, pull request reviews, experimentation and PoCs and much more. But who checks the machines?

In this talk I'll dive into the actual measurable outcomes - positive and negative - of adopting GenAI in engineering organizations. While engineering leaders rapidly jumped on the GenAI bandwagon, many are still struggling to quantify its value, not to mention manage its risks. This talk will discuss how and what to measure to understand adoption, quantify benefits and control risks in your initiative to leverage AI in your engineering organization. Join us to learn about the specific metrics you should be monitoring to ensure maximizing ROI on your GenAI engineering org initiatives.

[Virtual] KEYNOTE (AI DevWorld): SambaNova Systems -- Composition of Experts: A Modular Approach to Scaling AI Models

Thursday February 20, 2025 2:30pm - 2:55pm PST

VIRTUAL AI DevWorld Main Stage

Anton McGonnell, SambaNova Systems, VP of Product

This session, led by Anton McGonnell, Head of Software Products at SambaNova Systems, presents an in-depth exploration of the Composition of Experts approach in AI - a model made up of many models that work in conjunction with each other - and in particular the benefits to individual developers. Instead of building one monolithic model, this strategy composes workflows using many specialised, independent "expert" models. This proves to be more efficient, modular, and extensible.

The talk will provide a deep dive into the advantages of this technique, which promotes reusability, saves on alignment tax, and enables granular access control. By detailing real-world implementations, attendees will learn best practices for breaking down problems, assigning appropriate experts, and orchestrating data flow between them. McGonnell will discuss how an architecture with a large memory capacity, enables this approach by hosting and serving thousands of models in parallel on a single node without performance degradation. This makes the Composition of Experts approach highly scalable and reduces the total cost of ownership for inference.

Additionally, the session will offer crucial hardware considerations for executing Composition of Experts at scale. It will examine how specialised architectures can allow hosting thousands of models in parallel on a single node. With companies increasingly relying on AI, reliability and cost-efficiency are paramount concerns. Composition of Experts tackles these challenges through modularity and inference optimisation. By attending, developers and engineers can expect to gain highly applicable skills for improving the scalability, performance, and governance of AI in production environments.
