AI that everyone can understand

Making the transition to artificial intelligence requires an informed choice in terms of the technologies employed and the methods of design and use. On this page, you'll find essential definitions, along with an explanation of each Devana feature. An FAQ is also available. Don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have - they'll be of use to the next user.

NLP & LLM

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a field of artificial intelligence that focuses on the interaction between computers and humans via natural language. The ultimate goal of NLP is to read, decipher, understand and make sense of human languages in a valuable and useful way. This is a difficult discipline, as human language is rarely precise and is always changing.

Large-scale language models (LLMs) are a type of machine learning model that can perform a variety of natural language processing tasks. They are trained on a large amount of text and can generate text that looks as if it had been written by a human. These models are able to understand context, generate coherent responses and write relevant texts.

FINE-TUNING

Fine-tuning in generative AI is a technique that involves taking a pre-trained model, which has already learned to perform a certain task, and training it further, usually on a new dataset, so that it can perform a specific task better.


In the context of generative AI, this method is often used to fine-tune the AI's ability to create content that is specifically aligned with certain guidelines or characteristics, such as a particular writing style, a certain type of content (e.g. blog posts about AI), and so on.


Fine-tuning is an effective method for obtaining an AI model that performs very well in a specific task, as it takes advantage of the learning the model has already done and adapts it to a new task.

EMBEDDING

AI embedding is a technique used in machine learning to represent data with many attributes, such as words in text. In short, it's a way of transforming non-numerical data into numerical vectors.


For everyday use, let's take the example of word embedding. In this context, each word in a vocabulary is represented by a dense vector (a list of real numbers) so that words with similar meanings have similar representations (vectors).


This technique is widely used in the field of natural language processing (NLP), which lies at the heart of AI applications such as voice assistants, chatbots and recommendation systems.

RAG

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is a machine-learning framework. The RAG method, invented by Facebook, combines elements of retrieval-based text generation and generation-based machine learning to produce more accurate and informed text. RAG enables the AI to understand and answer questions by searching for information in a vast set of text documents at the time of generation, rather than relying solely on its prior, fixed-in-time learning.


For everyday use, let's take the example of word embedding. In this context, each word in a vocabulary is represented by a dense vector (a list of real numbers) so that words with similar meanings have similar representations (vectors).


The advantage of this method is that it enables the model to generate text that is more accurate and better informed, as it can draw on recent, relevant information rather than relying solely on what it has learned during training. The AI is no longer limited to what it has learned during training, and can take advantage of new information as it becomes available.

Devana provides up-to-date information
We connected Devana to the Web in 2021. We created our own web connection and real-time verification system. This system, patented in 2021, was reinforced by our patented fact-checking technology in 2023.
FACT-CHECKING

Fact-checking, also known as fact-checking, is the journalistic practice of verifying the truth and accuracy of public statements and information disseminated in the media and on the Internet. In the age of fake news, this technique has become essential to ensure the dissemination of authentic and reliable information.


Fact-checking is often practiced by dedicated media organizations, journalists and artificial intelligence like Devana, which uses real-time sources to verify and provide accurate information.

FAQ
Is my data processed by the LLM for purposes other than my use of Devana?
At Devana, we never use your data. It's yours. We don't train any models. To design your agents, you can choose the LLM model. We take care to provide you with up-to-date information on how LLM owners handle your data. For owners of sensitive data, we recommend choosing the on-premise offer or, failing that, an open-source model. For those who opt for GPT-4, we propose use via API. This is the most secure way of giving you access to this OPEN AI technology for your data.
Does my data go online when I ask Devana to search for knowledge?
No! In order to provide you with up-to-date answers, Devana reformulates your questions by cleansing the data in order to commission its algorithms. The algorithms then fetch the information from the search engines and databases you've chosen.
Can Devana be wrong?
Devana is equipped with powerful information verification tools. The data it receives in real time enables it to provide you with up-to-date, documented answers. However, it is your responsibility to configure it in accordance with the best practices of your profession or specialty. The choice of document base, search engine, and reliability criteria is entirely up to you. Setting your agent's identity and target will also influence the level of response expected. You can consult our tutorials on this subject here.
Do I have the right to train my AI with third-party data?
Yes, you have the right to design an agent based on third-party documentation. (You have every right to go to the library and borrow books to learn new things). Devana warns you, however, that if you use third-party data without citing your sources for commercial purposes, it is your responsibility to ensure that the applicable copyright legislation is respected. Citing sources means respecting authors and giving users and readers the opportunity to check the veracity of information. Our responsibility ends with the ethical tools we make available to you. Your responsibility begins when you use your agents. Be FairPlay.
Will Devana's technologies and offerings evolve?
Of course. Our teams are constantly on the lookout, working every day to update Devana. The LLMs available for parameterization are at full capacity. So you benefit from LLM and Devana updates.
