Metadata

In this post, you will take a closer look at embedding documents to be used for a semantic search. By means of examples, you will learn how embedding influences the search result and how you can improve the results. Enjoy! Introduction In a previous post, a chat with documents using LangChain4j and LocalAI was discussed. One of the conclusions was that the document format has a large influence on the results. In this post, you will take a closer look at the influence of source data and the way it is embedded in order to…

Marketing is changing fast: AI is an exciting new tool, but many marketers are struggling to track assets and performance. At the same time, privacy laws are getting more strict, and major players like Apple and Google are eliminating the tracking tools that marketers rely on. Many marketers are dragging their feet on embracing these changes – or they don’t know how to do it. The key to success? Your marketing metadata strategy. Learn more by registering and…

In an era where data has become the lifeblood of organizations, the term 'metadata' often floats around conference rooms and technical discussions. At its core, metadata is "data about data," a concept that might seem simplistic but carries immense significance in data management. This blog aims to dissect the role of metadata and illustrate why it's indispensable in the realms of data management, application architecture, and digital transformation. Historical Perspective on Metadata In the early days of data management,…

Google Messages has been bringing new features to the app on a regular basis, some of which have the potential to change the way it is used. In September, the platform received a new user interface redesign, and in October, it added a security upgrade to screen sharing. The RCS chats-enabled messaging platform has now added support for Ultra HDR images without much fanfare. However, there is a catch. You cannot use it unless your device runs on Android 14 and the camera supports the feature. SPAndroid first spotted this…

Mark Zuckerberg has pitched Meta's Twitter copycat app, Threads, as a "friendly" refuge for public discourse online, framing it in sharp distinction to the more adversarial Twitter which is owned by billionaire Elon Musk."We are definitely focusing on kindness and making this a friendly place," Zuckerberg said on Wednesday, shortly after the service's launch. Maintaining that idealistic vision for Threads - which attracted more than 70 million users in its first two days - is another story. To be sure, Meta Platforms is…

When you capture a screenshot and crop out sensitive information, it’s still possible to recover a portion of the image that was supposedly removed in some circumstances. This isn’t the first time redacted documents have turned out to have left hidden data intact and readable with the right tools and knowledge. A recent bug in Google’s Markup tool for the Pixel phone, humorously dubbed the “Acropalypse,” shows this issue might be surprisingly common. In a comment on the tweet about the Pixel bug, Chris…

Before deepening into the different supporting technologies, let’s create a baseline about schemas and message brokers or async server-server communication. Schema = Struct. The shape and format of a “message” are built and delivered between different applications/services/electronic entities. Schemas can be found in SQL and No SQL databases, in different shapes of the data the database expects to receive (for example, first_name:string, first.name, etc..). An unfamiliar or noncompliant schema will result in a drop, and…

Responding to humanitarian disasters quickly, better still, anticipating them can save lives . Data is key to this, not just having lots of data, but clean data which is well understood in order to create a clear view of the situation on the ground. In many cases this critical data is stored in hundreds of small spreadsheets, so piecing them altogether can be time consuming and difficult to maintain as new data comes in during a humanitarian incident. Automating the process of data discovery would potentially speed…

DICOM Metadata → CSV DatasetConvert DICOM Metadata into CSV files. DICOM, Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine, is the native format of medical images. DICOM files consider data beyond pixel data and store it as a DICOM header. Such data are the Patient’s age and weight, Modality, Image Dimension, and so on. In this post, we will use the PyDicom package to build a Python function that can extract specific metadata to use in further data analysis work.As mentioned above, DICOM files have metadata. This data is…

The first step you’ll take to building an NFT minting Dapp is to prepare the artwork. Without the artwork, you can’t have your NFT project actualized. Another reason for preprocessing your artworks is for generating metadata for each of the images. Without this metadata, your NFT cannot be sold in any of the big secondary markets, such as Opensea.For example, the image below is an NFT in the Opensea marketplace bearing some metadata which can also be seen below. Metadata Details and Traits The above information including…
