Productivity Series [Part 1]: Stay Focused Using the Pomodoro Technique

hr bartender Estimated reading time: 4 minutes I recently saw a little chart on the Facebook account BooksForAspirants talking about six ways to get things done (below). I don’t know who put it together … but it did say to feel free to use it, so I’m going to. With all the talk about being more effective and efficient, I thought it’s a good time to remember some strategies for being more productive.  While I thought that the image with different productivity methods is great, I also thought that there could be a challenge in figuring out when to use each. So, I wanted to elaborate on them. Think of this as a productivity series. The first method I want to discuss is the Promodoro Technique.  The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. The idea behind the technique is to use a timer (typically 25 minutes) to break work into intervals. Fun factoid: each interval is known as a pomodoro, from the Italian word for tomato, after the tomato shaped kitchen timer Cirillo used as a student. The technique has six steps: Decide on the task that needs to be done. Set the timer for 25 minutes. Work on the task. When the timer goes off, take a break (5ish minutes). Repeat steps 2-4 until you complete 4 rounds. After the 4th round, take a longer break (20ish minutes). Then return to step 2. I can see the Pomodoro Technique being very useful when you need to focus on specific task. Especially an intense one. For example, if I’m reviewing a set of data, I might work on cleaning the data for 25 minutes and then take a break to clear my head. In fact, I could take it one step further and say during...

Building an AIOps chatbot with Amazon Q Business custom plugins

AWS Machine Learning Blog Many organizations rely on multiple third-party applications and services for different aspects of their operations, such as scheduling, HR management, financial data, customer relationship management (CRM) systems, and more. However, these systems often exist in silos, requiring users to manually navigate different interfaces, switch between environments, and perform repetitive tasks, which can be time-consuming and inefficient. Moreover, while many enterprise systems are equipped with APIs for integration, users often lack the technical expertise to interact with these APIs directly. As a result, organizations need an intuitive and seamless way to query data and perform actions across these applications using natural language, without requiring specialized knowledge of each system or its APIs. To address the challenge of integrating multiple third-party applications into a unified, natural language-driven interface, users can use plugins for Amazon Q Business. Plugins provide a way to bridge the gap between complex, siloed enterprise applications in a user-friendly interfacing empowering users to take action across systems with easy. Amazon Q Business supports multiple enterprise systems with pre-built plugins, as well as custom plugins, that users can use to integrate a variety of enterprise systems with Amazon Q Business applications. Solution overview In this post, we demonstrate how you can use custom plugins for Amazon Q Business to build a chatbot that can interact with multiple APIs using natural language prompts. We showcase how to build an AIOps chatbot that enables users to interact with their AWS infrastructure through natural language queries and commands. The chatbot is capable of handling tasks such as querying the data about Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) ports and Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) buckets access settings. For example, users can ask the chatbot questions like “Which EC2 instances have port 3389 open?” or request actions such as...

New method efficiently safeguards sensitive AI training data

MIT News - Artificial intelligence Data privacy comes with a cost. There are security techniques that protect sensitive user data, like customer addresses, from attackers who may attempt to extract them from AI models — but they often make those models less accurate.MIT researchers recently developed a framework, based on a new privacy metric called PAC Privacy, that could maintain the performance of an AI model while ensuring sensitive data, such as medical images or financial records, remain safe from attackers. Now, they’ve taken this work a step further by making their technique more computationally efficient, improving the tradeoff between accuracy and privacy, and creating a formal template that can be used to privatize virtually any algorithm without needing access to that algorithm’s inner workings.The team utilized their new version of PAC Privacy to privatize several classic algorithms for data analysis and machine-learning tasks.They also demonstrated that more “stable” algorithms are easier to privatize with their method. A stable algorithm’s predictions remain consistent even when its training data are slightly modified. Greater stability helps an algorithm make more accurate predictions on previously unseen data.The researchers say the increased efficiency of the new PAC Privacy framework, and the four-step template one can follow to implement it, would make the technique easier to deploy in real-world situations.“We tend to consider robustness and privacy as unrelated to, or perhaps even in conflict with, constructing a high-performance algorithm. First, we make a working algorithm, then we make it robust, and then private. We’ve shown that is not always the right framing. If you make your algorithm perform better in a variety of settings, you can essentially get privacy for free,” says Mayuri Sridhar, an MIT graduate student and lead author of a paper on this privacy framework.She is joined in the paper by Hanshen Xiao PhD...
