Description

<p>Do you want to build the ultimate search engine that works perfectly for your business?</p> <p>A multimodal system processes all types of information like images, videos, audio, and text. It can end up either as a Frankenstein or a Swiss knife depending on how clunky or how smoothly these models communicate with one another.</p> <p>In this episode of the AI and Digital Transformation Podcast by G.M.S.C. Consulting, we had a chat with Duarte Carmo about building a customized multimodal search engine. We learned about his experience on building a multimodal search engine for a startup, and things you need to consider when building an AI product that does not rely heavily on big tech’s costly services. </p> <p>If you like tinkering and using non-conventional methods to build personalized AI products like a multimodal search engine, this is the episode for you. </p> <p><strong>Who is Duarte Carmo?</strong></p> <p>Duarte is a Portuguese technologist who is now based in Copenhagen. He loves finding ways on making technology improve people’s lives. He solves problems end-to-end by combining his interests and work experience in Machine Learning, Data, Software Engineering, and People. If he’s not working on a project, you’ll find him learning about new gadgets, writing code, taking photos, or running.</p> <p> Check out our <a href="https://www.gmscconsulting.com/ai-and-digital-transformation-podcast/episode-12" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">⁠show notes⁠</a> for more info on Duarte Carmo. ---</p> <p>Time Stamps</p> <p>(00:00:00) Trailer</p> <p>(00:01:07) Who is Duarte?</p> <p>(00:02:57) Use case: building a multimodal search engine</p> <p>(00:08:23) Challenges of developing and using a multimodal search engine</p> <p>(00:12:23) Human + machine: precision, reasoning and language</p> <p>(00:16:34) Challenges of communicating between humans and machines: freedom vs restriction, bias vs. variance</p> <p>(00:19:13) Why is it important to ask your client what their problem is?</p> <p>(00:22:58) Building an AI product: iterative approach vs. perfect launch</p> <p>(00:26:49) Priorities in AI development</p> <p>(00:31:29) Are customized AI solutions affordable or too expensive for small and medium businesses?</p> <p>(00:36:42) Privacy as a concern for multimodal search engines; APIs and privacy</p> <p>(00:38:56) Duarte’s achievement of building a customized multimodal search engine</p> <p>(00:40:14) Final remarks and book recommendations </p> <p>--- <strong>More on G.M.S.C.
