Abstract
Speed and efficiency are paramount during all stages of development, including feasibility
management; therefore, in feasibility research, the establishment of laboratories and
procurement of research equipment remain tethered to traditional, time-consuming processes.
This paper proposes a transformative approach that harnesses the power of edge computing
and Machine Learning (ML) to expedite these practices through real-time 3D modeling and
integration with a live commerce framework. We present an advanced system that leverages
NVIDIA's Magic3D technology and Gaussian Splatting techniques to generate accurate, high-
resolution 3D models of laboratory settings, enabling rapid virtual evaluations and modifications
(Chen, Wang, & Liu, 2023; Kerbl et al., 2023) (Lin et al., 2023). Furthermore, we integrate this
with an AI-driven live commerce platform, creating a seamless transition from virtual modeling
to real-world procurement. Our system not only significantly reduces the setup and preparation
time for research facilities but also introduces a novel marketplace for laboratory equipment,
wherein users can identify and purchase necessary items directly through an intelligent, prompt-
based interface. The evaluation of the system demonstrates its potential to revolutionize the
field by cutting down research lead times and fostering a more dynamic and efficient
marketplace. Future work will extend the application of this system to additional fields and
further refine the integration of sophisticated AI algorithms to improve user interaction and
marketplace functionality. This research underscores the importance of real-time 3D modeling
and AI in advancing feasibility and operational efficiency within research environments, thus,
establishing a new paradigm for the industry.
Preface
In our world, speed and reliability is proving to be essential in integrating real-time data with
advanced technologies for enhanced feasibility analysis. Additionally, in the meticulous process
of feasibility management, the clarity of vision regarding a project's physical and operational
outlook is paramount (Kerbl et al., 2023). A significant stride in this direction is the utilization of
real live feeds and photographs of existing structures to fabricate precise 3D models of those
structures. This advancement facilitates a more thorough and accurate assessment of site
feasibility for managers, directors, global directors, and the stakeholders they represent. (Kerbl
et al., 2023)
The incorporation of real-time data, captured through live feeds and photographs, into 3D
modeling is a modern technique that has become attainable thanks to advancements in
Machine Learning (ML) modeling, particularly Gaussian Splatting (Chen et al., 2023; Kerbl et
al., 2023; Vaswani et al., 2023). This technique, when employed in conjunction with Generative
Pretrained Transformer (GPT), Business Intelligence Markup Language (BIML), Data
Warehousing, Data Platforms, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in general, amalgamates to form a
more inclusive and accurate environment conducive for nuanced feasibility analysis. (Chen et al.,
2023; Kerbl et al., 2023; Vaswani et al., 2023)
The real essence of this integration is the real-time training of AI, using extensive data
embedded within 3D models, to deliver a comprehensive assessment of a site or a project
swiftly and accurately. Unlike traditional methods, this technologically driven approach
significantly reduces the time required for a proper feasibility assessment, while ensuring a high
degree of accuracy.
The journey towards this integrated approach has been marked by various significant research
and technological developments. Noteworthy among these are the contributions from Nvidia
Research in ML modeling for realistic 3D presentations, and the furtherance of Gaussian
Splatting for Real-Time Radiance Field Rendering, as evidenced in various academic papers and
research articles.
While GPT and BIML serve different yet crucial roles within the technology and data processing
sphere, their convergence along with ML modeling, particularly Gaussian Splatting, has opened
up new avenues in data analytics and business intelligence. GPT, with its prowess in
understanding and generating human-like text, and BIML, with its automation capabilities in
business intelligence setups, together lay a solid foundation upon which real-time data and ML
modeling can thrive to provide enhanced feasibility analysis.
Furthermore, the evolution of Human-like systematic generalization through a Meta-Learning
Neural Network (MLNN) in Meta-Learning for Compositionality (MLC) presents a promising
frontier. As a human-level assistant, MLC holds the potential to significantly augment the
process of real-time data integration into 3D modeling for feasibility analysis, especially since it
holds the ability to think on system-level responses rather than tokenization of values and
transformation of them in a GPT format.
In the subsequent discussions, the focus will be on elaborating the synergies between these
advanced technologies and real-time data integration, aiming to shed light on how they can be
harnessed to significantly upgrade the realm of feasibility management. Through a meticulous
examination of recent advancements and practical implications, this discourse aims to provide a
comprehensive insight into the modern-day approach towards enhanced feasibility analysis.
Introduction
In Feasibility, we search for possible avenues of entrance into a marketplace in various fields.
We analyze the possible ways to perform actions and explore the various options available to us.
While in the search for solutions, we make observations and presentations of how they apply to
what we are trying to accomplish. Simply put, we are looking for better ways to do our job.
The exploration into #edgecomputing and #feasibility #enhancement presents a compelling
narrative of technological progression and its relevance to our work in #Management and
#Presentation. A critical aspect of this narrative is the capability to render realistic 3D
presentations using ML modeling in real time, as demonstrated by projects like Nvidia's Magic
3D (https://research.nvidia.com/labs/dir/magic3d/) (Lin et al., 2023). Yet, the frontier of this
endeavor extends further with the advent of Gaussian Splatting 4+, a novel technique that has
spurred additional research in the domain of real-time radiance field rendering (https://repo-
sam.inria.fr/fungraph/3d-gaussian-splatting/) (Kerbl et al., 2023).
But how did we get here?
Navigating advancements necessitates an understanding of certain key technologies that have
developed recently, namely, Machine Learning (ML), the Business Intelligence Markup Language
(BIML), the Generative Pretrained Transformer (GPT), and 3-Dimensional Mapping. While
serving distinct purposes within the broader context of technology and data processing, both
GPT and BIML have carved niches that are instrumental in the modern data analytics and
business intelligence paradigms. BIML, with its forte in automating the creation and
management of business intelligence artifacts, provides an opportunity for data warehousing
and Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) processes, especially within Microsoft SQL Server
environments. Conversely, GPT, a suite of machine learning models, does well with natural
language processing because it comes with many low-cost applications ranging from language
translation to text generation, visual recognition, and question-answering systems. (Vaswani et
al., 2023)
How does this help us?
The combination of GPT and BIML unveils a symbiotic relationship rather than a rivalrous one.
GPT holds the potential to enhance BIML's utility by possibly generating BIML scripts or aiding in
script writing through code suggestions, thereby making BIML more user-friendly and accessible
("Introduction to Business Intelligence Markup Language (BIML) for SSIS," MSSQLTips).
Furthermore, GPT’s ability to augment business intelligence tools with advanced analytics
capabilities and natural language processing of queries can make BI tools more powerful
without negating the necessity for BIML (Vaswani et al.). For example, GPT can “look at” objects
and transform them to a different “language” that BIML can understand. This means that visual
understanding of the environment is essential for GPT models, thus photo rendering and video
rendering become a necessary part of Feasibility research while using these tools.
When did this happen?
As tech advanced, we moved from taking pictures of things and looking at the photos ourselves,
to taking a photo of something and having the computer tell us what the picture contained. For
time’s sake, we can start with the chronicle of technological evolution from the release of
transformer models of Google in 2017, GPT-1 in 2018, and to the subsequent enhancements
until 2023. These changes in AI systems elucidate the continual striving towards better tools for
feasibility work. This progression has advanced in a framework, as illustrated by the architecture
in Figure 1 (Lake and Baroni, 2023, fig. 1) architecture, that enables the generation of more
accurate and insightful analyses for effective feasibility studies. (Lake and Barron, 2023)
Figure 1 (fig.1) architecture (Lake and Barron, 2023)
Explaining how these technological advancements occurred is important to utilizing them in the
field; it is particularly important regarding the real-time rendering of 3D models using ML
modeling and Gaussian Splatting, which can be amalgamated to create a healthy environment
for feasibility managers and the stakeholders they represent. Through a blend of historical
insights and an examination of the latest innovations, this discussion aims to provide a thorough
understanding of the present-day toolkit available for enhanced feasibility analysis including
MLNN and MLC for future human-like systems.
Introduction to Edge Computing
Edge computing is a distributed computing paradigm that brings computation and data storage
closer to the sources of data. This approach aims to improve response times and save
bandwidth. In the context of real-time 3D presentations in management, edge computing
facilitates the rapid processing and analysis of data necessary for creating detailed and
interactive 3D models (Chen et al., 2023). However, traditional laboratory setup and equipment
procurement processes are time-consuming, often requiring extensive manual input and
coordination. As the goal of this research paper is to propose a system that employs real-time
machine learning (ML) modeling to expedite and simplify these processes, edge computing
provides the correct venue for evaluation of feasibility.
Introduction to BIML
Business Intelligence Markup Language (BIML) is a significant technology within the modern
ambit of data management and analytics. Originating as an XML-based language, BIML
facilitates the automation of creating and managing business intelligence artifacts,
encompassing databases, Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) processes, and data models. Its advent
has notably streamlined the specification and management of data warehouses and other BI
tasks, especially within Microsoft SQL Server environments ("Introduction to Business
Intelligence Markup Language (BIML) for SSIS," MSSQLTips).
The primary allure of BIML lies in its automation capabilities, which significantly reduce manual
coding effort, thereby accelerating the development cycle of business intelligence projects. By
offering a structured yet flexible framework, BIML empowers professionals to define business
intelligence artifacts in a manner that's intuitive and scalable. This ensures that BIML can
adeptly cater to a variety of data operational requirements, which makes it a healthy choice for
data storage for feasibility research.
Furthermore, BIML serves as a bridge between the conceptual design of data processes and the
actual implementation of these processes within a business intelligence environment. It
encapsulates the technical specifications in a readable format, which can then be translated into
executable scripts for various data platforms. This translation process is often facilitated by
BIMLScript, a scripting language that extends BIML and allows for the dynamic generation of
business intelligence artifacts based on predefined patterns and metadata.
The integration of BIML within a business intelligence setup creates an environment for the
systematic management of data processes. By automating routine yet complex tasks, BIML
enhances efficiency while improving the accuracy and consistency of data management
operations.
This means that something that may have taken years to hand-write into a book and stored on a
shelve to be exhumed later, can be converted into data in a device that is connected to a
network and recalled instantly somewhere else on the other side of the world. It is not difficult
to see how helpful this could be if the information is large.
But how do we do that?
Transitioning towards a more data-centric operational paradigm underscores the role of BIML in
simplifying and automating business intelligence tasks, which helps feasibility managers
amongst other individuals and groups do their jobs faster. Humans saw the advantage of this,
and it became necessary to create systems that could store information, and then connect those
systems to each other to gain more interoperability and save even more time. BIML’s potential
to dovetail with other advanced technologies and methodologies augments its position as an
indispensable tool in the modern data analytics and business intelligence landscape.
In the broader perspective of feasibility management, the combination of BIML with other
technologies can organize large volumes of data effectively, setting a well-structured stage for
Generative Pretrained Transformer (GPT) to analyze. This organized data structure facilitated by
BIML can significantly improve the accuracy and efficiency of GPT's analysis, thereby
contributing to more insightful and reliable feasibility assessments (Chen et al., 2023; Vaswani et
al., 2023). Through this synergy, a large data management and analysis framework can be
established, catering to the nuanced needs of feasibility management in a technologically
advancing environment.
Introduction to GPT Systems
Generative Pretrained Transformer (GPT) models, hailing from the Transformer architecture
lineage, are emblematic of significant advancements in the field of artificial intelligence,
particularly natural language processing (NLP). These models are designed to process and
generate text, demonstrating a notable aptitude for handling large datasets which is
indispensable for various analytical tasks. The underlying operational mechanism of GPT models
revolves around tokenization, where input data is segmented into tokens, and the transformer
architecture, which employs self-attention mechanisms to process these tokens through
multiple layers. Each layer is capable of capturing different levels of abstraction in the data,
contributing to the model's ability to understand and generate complex text based on the input
it receives. These transformations all became possible when in 2017, Attention Is All You Need
was published. As shown in Figure 2,
Figure 2 (Fig. 2) Illustration of the architecture that started GPT. (Vaswani et al. Figure 1)
Introduction to Machine Learning Mapping
Machine Learning (ML) mapping is an essential facet of data-driven decision-making in today's
technologically advanced landscape. At its core, ML mapping refers to the processes and
methodologies used to translate vast amounts of raw data into comprehensible, actionable
insights through the use of machine learning algorithms (Chen, Wang, and Liu, 2023). This
technique is particularly valuable in identifying patterns, making predictions, and informing
strategic planning across various industries and applications ("What to Consider," 2023).
The Essence of ML Mapping:
ML mapping is not merely about navigating through data; it's about converting the unstructured
or semi-structured data into a format that machine learning models can utilize effectively (Lake
and Baroni, 2023). The mapping process involves data preprocessing, feature extraction, and the
use of algorithmic strategies to correlate complex data points ("Language Translation with
nn.Transformer and torchtext," 2023).
Preprocessing Data:
Before any meaningful analysis can begin, raw data must be cleansed, normalized, and
transformed. Preprocessing ensures that the data fed into ML models is free from
inconsistencies and is formatted in a way that aligns with the objectives of the analysis
(Budhwar et al., 2023).
Feature Extraction and Selection:
One of the critical steps in ML mapping is identifying which features (variables) of the data are
most relevant to the problem at hand (Lin et al., 2023). Feature extraction simplifies the amount
of resources needed to describe a large set of data accurately, while feature selection involves
choosing the most relevant features to train the models (Kerbl et al., "3D Gaussian Splatting,"
2023).
Algorithmic Mapping:
Machine learning algorithms are then employed to create a map of the data. Depending on the
complexity and nature of the data, different algorithms such as supervised learning,
unsupervised learning, or reinforcement learning may be used (Lake and Baroni, 2023).
Supervised Learning:
In supervised learning, the algorithm is trained on a labeled dataset, which means that the
outcome or the "map" of the data is already known (Lee, "An Intuitive Explanation," 2021). This
approach is widely used for classification and regression problems where the relationship
between the input variables and the output variable is mapped (Vaswani et al., "Attention,"
2017).
Unsupervised Learning:
Unsupervised learning algorithms are used when the data has no labels, and the goal is to infer
the natural structure present within a set of data points (Shaikhnag, 2023). Clustering and
dimensionality reduction are common unsupervised learning methods for ML mapping (Chen,
Wang, and Liu, 2023).
Applications of ML Mapping:
From healthcare, where ML mapping helps in diagnosing diseases from medical images, to
finance, where it can predict market trends and customer behavior, the applications of ML
mapping are broad and deeply impactful ("Adding a strategic lens," 2023). In urban planning, ML
mapping assists in analyzing satellite imagery to inform development and environmental
conservation (Cetin, 2023).
Challenges and Considerations:
While ML mapping offers extensive possibilities, it also presents challenges such as ensuring
data privacy, handling imbalanced datasets, and the need for high-quality data. (Kerbl et al.,
"Source Code," 2023) Additionally, interpretability of ML models remains a critical area, as
stakeholders often require understandable insights from ML models (Huang et al., 2022).
Conclusion:
ML Mapping stands at the forefront of technological advancement, providing the means to
unlock the potential within data. It's a powerful tool that, when harnessed correctly, can drive
innovation and efficiency, leading to more informed decisions and strategic insights across
numerous industries, especially including Feasibility Management.
Introduction to MLNN / MLC Systems
Machine learning (ML) is particularly focused on the capabilities of neural networks to achieve
human-like systematic generalization; ML is a system that allows a debate on whether neural
networks can mimic the human brain's ability to systematically combine new and existing
concepts to understand and perform new tasks. (Lake & Baroni, 2023)
Because of this possibility, there has been an ongoing debate initiated by Fodor and Pylyshyn,
who questioned the plausibility of neural networks as cognitive models due to their perceived
lack of systematicity. Over the years, counterarguments have suggested that human
compositional skills are not as systematic as Fodor and Pylyshyn proposed, and that neural
networks can exhibit greater systematicity with more sophisticated architectures. (Lake &
Baroni, 2023)
Recent advancements in neural networks, especially in fields like natural language processing,
have prompted researchers to reevaluate these arguments. Despite progress, modern neural
networks still face challenges with tests of systematicity. The article introduces a novel
optimization procedure, Meta-Learning for Compositionality (MLC), which shows promise in
enabling neural networks to achieve human-like systematic generalization without relying on
hand-designed internal representations or inductive biases. Instead, MLC utilizes high-level
guidance and direct human examples to guide neural networks through few-shot compositional
tasks. (Lake & Baroni, 2023)
The evaluations of MLC against human performance on instruction-learning tasks and
ambiguous linguistic probes suggest that MLC can match or even surpass human-level
systematic generalization. Additionally, MLC demonstrates human-like error patterns when the
behavior deviates from purely algebraic reasoning. (Lake & Baroni, 2023)
This introduction to MLNN and MLC systems points to the significant potential of neural
networks to model human-like compositional behavior, offering a promising direction for future
research and application in machine learning. Thus, it becomes an interesting avenue to explore
whilst thinking about feasibility management. (Lake & Baroni, 2023)
So, what are the intricacies of MLC within the context of transformer neural networks?
Here's a summary of the key points highlighted in the Human-like Systematic Generalization
through a Meta-learning Neural Network (Lake and Baroni, 2023)text:
MLC and the Standard Transformer Architecture:
MLC leverages the standard transformer architecture(fig.2), which is known for its self-
attention mechanism and has been pivotal in advancing natural language
processing(Lake and Baroni, 2023).
The transformer model is optimized through meta-learning, where it is exposed to
dynamically changing episodes, each representing a different sequence-to-sequence
task.
This optimization strategy is designed to enable the transformer to learn how to extract
meanings from words in the study examples and apply them to answer queries.
Figure 3 (fig. 3), The MLC Architecture (As seen in Fig.4 in Lake and Baroni, 2023)
Meta-Learning Optimization: (Lake & Baroni, 2023)
The optimization process involves presenting the transformer with new study and query
examples in each episode, derived from a randomly generated latent grammar.
The model's performance is gauged on its ability to produce responses that are
consistent with the compositional rewrite rules of the underlying grammar.
The weights of the transformer are frozen during test episodes, which means it relies on
the learned parameters without any task-specific adjustments.
MLC's Capability for Systematic Behavior: (Lake & Baroni, 2023)
MLC has demonstrated the capability to optimize neural networks to perform with a
high degree of systematicity.
The optimized transformer models have shown a perfect systematic response rate
(100% exact match accuracy) on certain few-shot instruction-learning tasks.
These models are also capable of inferring novel rules beyond the meta-learning scope
and exhibit error patterns similar to human learners.
Evaluation of Human and Machine Learning: (Lake & Baroni, 2023)
MLC has been compared to human performance on systematic generalization tasks,
revealing that it can achieve or exceed human-level performance.
Both humans and MLC-transformers exhibit similar patterns of errors, such as one-to-
one translations and iconic concatenations, indicating a nuanced understanding of
language.
Predictive Power of MLC: (Lake & Baroni, 2023)
MLC outperforms more rigid systematic models in predicting human behavior,
suggesting its superior ability to capture the variability and inductive biases in human
responses.
The model performs comparably to probabilistic symbolic models that assume humans
infer grammars but respond with biases.
MLC is particularly strong in open-ended tasks, embodying key inductive biases and
nuanced patterns observed in human responses. (Pawan Budhwar et al., 2023)
Overall Impact of MLC: (Lake & Baroni, 2023)
The MLC approach allows for the development of models that can understand and
generalize language systematically, much like humans do.
A single transformer model optimized through MLC can robustly predict human
behavior across different types of tasks, demonstrating its versatility and efficacy.
This summary encapsulates the essence of how MLC works with transformer architectures to
achieve human-like systematic generalization, positioning it as a significant advancement in the
field of artificial intelligence and cognitive modeling.
But how might MLC become connected to Feasibility?
MLC might impact the system of feasibility management as outlined: (Lake & Baroni, 2023)
1. Enhanced Real-Time Analysis: MLC could be used to classify and interpret complex data
in real time, which is critical when creating virtual environments that need to adapt to
different physical properties and regulations.
2. Improved Decision Making: By applying MLC, feasibility managers can make more
informed decisions by analyzing patterns and predictions from data related to various
environmental settings, materials, and design parameters.
3. Automated Compliance Checks: MLC systems could automatically cross-reference
laboratory setups with regulatory requirements to ensure compliance, reducing the
manual workload and potential for error.
4. Predictive Modeling: With MLC, feasibility managers could predict the outcomes of
laboratory setups before they are built, allowing for better planning and resource
allocation.
5. Integration with Edge Computing: MLC, combined with edge computing as mentioned
in the document, could facilitate faster processing of data at the source, leading to
quicker insights and enabling real-time adjustments in the virtual lab settings.
6. Collaborative Platforms: The document hints at collaborative efforts in design and
evaluation. MLC could enhance these platforms with intelligent suggestions, anomaly
detection, and optimization advice for the lab designs based on historical data and
trends.
7. Marketplace Synergy: As the document suggests marketplace integration, MLC could be
instrumental in matching laboratory design requirements with market offerings,
optimizing cost, and ensuring the best use of resources.
8. Client Engagement: MLC can help in creating more interactive and responsive systems
for clients to view and interact with the feasibility studies, thereby improving
engagement and communication.
In summary, the integration of MLC into feasibility management systems could greatly enhance
the efficiency, accuracy, and speed of creating and evaluating virtual laboratories, as well as
facilitate better communication with clients and stakeholders.
GPT Advances and AI Communities Combining with Cutting Edge Tech
Introduction to GPT Systems Amid Their Evolutions
As discussed earlier, Generative Pretrained Transformer (GPT) models, evolving from the
Transformer architecture lineage, are emblematic of significant advancements in the field of
artificial intelligence, particularly in natural language processing (NLP). These models are
designed to process and generate text, demonstrating a notable aptitude for handling large
datasets which is indispensable for various analytical tasks. The operational mechanism of GPT
models revolves around tokenization, where input data is segmented into tokens, and the
transformer architecture, which employs self-attention mechanisms to process these tokens
through multiple layers. Each layer is capable of capturing different levels of abstraction in the
data, contributing to the model's ability to understand and generate complex text based on the
input it receives.
With the advent of new developments like Gizmo, alongside enhancements in GPT-4 such as
speed improvements and price reductions, the landscape of data analysis and AI applications is
on the cusp of experiencing substantial transformations. The GPT-4-TURBO, with a 10 to 20
times speed improvement, and the price reduction for GPT-4 API access, indicate a trajectory
towards more accessible and efficient AI solutions. Additionally, the speculated Dali3 API
announcement and GPT-3 Open-Source Release promise an expanding ecosystem of AI tools
and resources.
Relation to Feasibility Management
In the sphere of feasibility management, the prowess of GPT models can be harnessed to
process vast quantities of textual data swiftly and accurately. This is particularly beneficial when
navigating the multifaceted landscape of global feasibility evaluations where diverse variables
such as local laws, pricing, parts availability, and geographical considerations come into play. By
automating the analysis of textual data related to these variables, GPT models can provide
valuable insights that support informed decision-making for Global Feasibility Directors.
Integration with BIML and Data Analysis System
The integration of GPT models with Business Intelligence Markup Language (BIML) can further
amplify the efficiency and effectiveness of data analysis. BIML serves as a robust framework for
organizing large volumes of data, thereby facilitating a well-structured input for GPT models to
analyze. The collaboration between GPT models and BIML can pave the way for the creation of a
sophisticated data analysis system capable of harnessing the internet and other resources to
research and evaluate essential feasibility variables such as pricing and parts availability.
In a global context, this integrated system can cater to the nuanced needs of Global Feasibility
Directors by enabling a comprehensive analysis of various factors including location-specific laws
and other regional considerations. The synergy between GPT models and BIML, coupled with
the internet as a vast reservoir of data, can significantly enhance the precision and scope of
feasibility evaluations, thus supporting a more nuanced and informed approach to global
feasibility management.
Chat-Dev, Multi GPT-Core, and Multi-Agent AI communities to Benefit Feasibility
In software development and artificial intelligence, collaborations of multiple AI agents to work
together as a team or a "virtual company" have been emerging. One notable instance is ChatDev
(as seen in the interface and, separately, the code) (Huang) , a virtual chat-powered "AI
company" where several intelligent AI agents take on distinct roles like CEO, CTO, programmer,
and tester, symbolizing an effort to harness collective intelligence through collaboration (Huang)
("ChatDev Application Interface"). These intelligent agents collaborate to revolutionize
programming, providing a framework to explore collective intelligence ("ChatDev Application
Interface")("Now, Build Software Engineering Teams Using AI within Minutes").
This organizational structure of AI agents in ChatDev aligns with the traditional roles in a
software development team, and since they follow the Waterfall method, the structured role
allocation suggests a methodical approach to task management and execution, which is
characteristic of the Waterfall method (OpenBMB).
Moreover, the collaboration between MetaGPT as shown in Figure 4 ("MetaGPT Lets You Create
Your Own Virtual Software Company") and ChatDev aims to enhance the capabilities of existing
multi-agent systems to address the limitations in solving complex tasks. In this context, teams of
AI agents with different specialties work together to complete complex tasks, resembling a
multi-agent framework that could potentially be employed in a Waterfall method scenario
(("Build AI Agent Workforce"), ("ChatDev Application Interface")).
Figure 4 (Figure 1 from "MetaGPT", Figure 1 from Geekan)
Adding the features of Gizmo, such as the Sandbox, Custom Actions, and Knowledge Files, could
potentially supercharge this already sophisticated system. The Sandbox feature, for instance,
could provide an environment to test and modify the collaborative interactions between AI
agents, while the Custom Actions and Knowledge Files could enrich the functionality and
knowledge base of each AI agent, thereby enhancing the overall effectiveness and efficiency of
the multi-agent system in managing and executing tasks in a methodical manner, akin to the
Waterfall method.
Moreover, the newly rumored GPT-4's enhanced speed and token capacity (Altman, 2023)
(@arrakis_ai), alongside the introduction of Gizmo's Workspace and Team Plan, could further
streamline the process of managing large-scale projects. The higher processing speed and larger
token capacity could enable faster and more comprehensive analysis of vast datasets, while the
Workspace and Team Plan could facilitate better organization and management of AI agents and
their tasks, potentially providing a robust framework for executing large-scale projects in a
structured and methodical manner, much like the Waterfall method. (@arrakis_ai) (OpenAI)
Incorporating multiple AI agents working in a structured, collaborative manner, akin to a
software development team, could significantly enhance the capabilities of a Global Feasibility
Director (GFD) in several ways:
1. Efficient Data Management and Analysis:
The collaborative structure allows for the segmentation of vast amounts of data, with each AI
agent specializing in different aspects of the data. This segmented approach can help in more
efficiently organizing, processing, and analyzing the data, which is crucial for a GFD in assessing
the feasibility of global projects.
2. Enhanced Decision-Making:
With better data analysis comes enhanced decision-making. The GFD can leverage the insights
generated by the collaborative AI system to make well-informed decisions regarding project
feasibility, resource allocation, and risk management.
3. Real-Time Insights:
The rumored speed improvements in GPT-4 and the structured collaborative approach could
enable real-time or near real-time analysis of data, providing GFDs with timely insights crucial
for making pivotal decisions in a fast-paced global environment.
4. Scalable Solutions:
The scalability of a multi-agent AI system, especially with the enhanced token capacity and
speed of GPT-4, allows for handling larger projects and datasets without a linear increase in
resource requirements. This scalability is vital for GFDs managing projects across different scales
and geographies.
5. Comprehensive Project Evaluation:
The structured collaboration among AI agents can mimic a methodical project management
approach like the Waterfall method, providing a comprehensive framework for evaluating every
phase of a project from conception to completion.
6. Customizable Workflow:
Features like Gizmo's Custom Actions and Sandbox can provide a customizable workflow,
enabling GFDs to tailor the AI system to meet the specific needs and challenges of global
feasibility assessment.
7. Integrated Resource and Task Management:
The integration of different AI agents, each with its specializations, alongside human teams, can
foster a harmonized workflow where tasks are clearly delineated, tracked, and managed. This
integration can significantly improve resource and task management, a core aspect of a GFD's

Literature Review
NVIDIA's Magic3D (Lin et al., 2022) represents a significant advancement in text-to-3D model
generation. It allows for the creation of high-resolution 3D models guided by natural language
prompts, which is a substantial improvement over previous methods that offered limited
resolution and fidelity. The recent development in Gaussian Splatting (Chen et al., 2023) further
refines this process by addressing geometric accuracy, providing a method for generating 3D
objects with more precise and detailed representations. Previous works have explored virtual
laboratories and online marketplaces for lab equipment, but often without the integration of
real-time ML modeling and advanced 3D rendering techniques. This paper seeks to bridge that
gap by synthesizing these technologies into a cohesive system.
Methodology
The proposed system integrates the Magic3D (Lin et al., 2022) framework with Gaussian
Splatting (Chen et al., 2023)() technology to convert textual prompts into detailed 3D laboratory
models in real time. By utilizing a two-stage optimization framework, Magic3D (Lin et al., 2022)
first creates a coarse 3D model, which is then refined using Gaussian Splatting (Chen et al.,
2023) to enhance the resolution and fidelity of the final 3D mesh models.
To ensure the models accurately reflect real-world laboratories, the system will incorporate
physics properties such as light reflection, material density, and other relevant physical
attributes. This process will involve mapping these properties onto the 3D models to achieve a
realistic representation that adheres to true-to-life dimensions and functionalities.
Moreover, the system will be designed to recognize and categorize laboratory equipment within
these 3D environments. Utilizing machine learning algorithms, it will be able to map identified
items to their real-world counterparts, facilitating a seamless integration with an online
marketplace. This will enable users to provide prompts to the system to automatically find and
suggest equipment available for purchase in the live market, complete with vendor links and
recommendations.
Through this innovative methodology, the system aims to not only create virtual representations
of laboratories but also to connect these virtual spaces with tangible resources, streamlining the
process of setting up and equipping research facilities.
Implementation
The implementation of the proposed system involves the development of a robust architecture
that is capable of processing natural language prompts to generate and refine 3D models using
Magic3D (Lin et al., 2022) and Gaussian Splatting (Chen et al., 2023) technologies. This
architecture must support the integration of physics-based properties into the models, ensuring
that they can be used for realistic simulations and assessments.
A central component of the system is the interface that allows users to input descriptive
prompts, which the ML models use to generate the initial 3D representations. These
representations are then processed through a series of optimization stages, where the geometry
and appearance are refined to produce high-resolution and high-fidelity 3D models.
The system will also feature a module for the mapping and identification of laboratory
equipment within the 3D models. This includes the development of a database of equipment,
complete with metadata such as dimensions, functions, and physics properties, to be used for
the automatic tagging and categorization within the virtual environment.
Another crucial aspect of the implementation is the integration with online marketplaces. The
system must be capable of querying these marketplaces with the specifications of the identified
equipment, retrieving purchasing options, and presenting them to the user within the interface.
This process involves the development of an API layer that can interact with various e-
commerce platforms to fetch real-time data on availability and pricing.
To ensure seamless operation, the system will be designed to work in conjunction with existing
enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and research management tools. This will allow for
the direct importation and exportation of data, facilitating the use of the virtual laboratory
models for planning, budgeting, and procurement purposes within larger organizational
frameworks.

The power of human language and thought arises from systematic compositionality—the algebraic ability to understand and produce novel combinations from known components. Fodor and Pylyshyn ¹ famously argued that artificial neural networks lack this capacity and are therefore not viable models of the mind. Neural networks have advanced considerably in the years since, yet the systematicity challenge persists. Here we successfully address Fodor and Pylyshyn’s challenge by providing evidence that neural networks can achieve human-like systematicity when optimized for their compositional skills. To do so, we introduce the meta-learning for compositionality (MLC) approach for guiding training through a dynamic stream of compositional tasks. To compare humans and machines, we conducted human behavioural experiments using an instruction learning paradigm. After considering seven different models, we found that, in contrast to perfectly systematic but rigid probabilistic symbolic models, and perfectly flexible but unsystematic neural networks, only MLC achieves both the systematicity and flexibility needed for human-like generalization. MLC also advances the compositional skills of machine learning systems in several systematic generalization benchmarks. Our results show how a standard neural network architecture, optimized for its compositional skills, can mimic human systematic generalization in a head-to-head comparison.

ChatGPT and its variants that use generative artificial intelligence (AI) models have rapidly become a focal point in academic and media discussions about their potential benefits and drawbacks across various sectors of the economy, democracy, society, and environment. It remains unclear whether these technologies result in job displacement or creation, or if they merely shift human labour by generating new, potentially trivial or practically irrelevant, information and decisions. According to the CEO of ChatGPT, the potential impact of this new family of AI technology could be as big as “the printing press”, with significant implications for employment, stakeholder relationships, business models, and academic research, and its full consequences are largely undiscovered and uncertain. The introduction of more advanced and potent generative AI tools in the AI market, following the launch of ChatGPT, has ramped up the “AI arms race”, creating continuing uncertainty for workers, expanding their business applications, while heightening risks related to well‐being, bias, misinformation, context insensitivity, privacy issues, ethical dilemmas, and security. Given these developments, this perspectives editorial offers a collection of perspectives and research pathways to extend HRM scholarship in the realm of generative AI. In doing so, the discussion synthesizes the literature on AI and generative AI, connecting it to various aspects of HRM processes, practices, relationships, and outcomes, thereby contributing to shaping the future of HRM research.

DreamFusion has recently demonstrated the utility of a pre-trained text-to-image diffusion model to optimize Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF), achieving remarkable text-to-3D synthesis results. However, the method has two inherent limitations: (a) extremely slow optimization of NeRF and (b) low-resolution image space supervision on NeRF, leading to low-quality 3D models with a long processing time. In this paper, we address these limitations by utilizing a two-stage optimization framework. First, we obtain a coarse model using a low-resolution diffusion prior and accelerate with a sparse 3D hash grid structure. Using the coarse representation as the initialization, we further optimize a textured 3D mesh model with an efficient differentiable renderer interacting with a high-resolution latent diffusion model. Our method, dubbed Magic3D, can create high quality 3D mesh models in 40 minutes, which is 2x faster than DreamFusion (reportedly taking 1.5 hours on average), while also achieving higher resolution. User studies show 61.7% raters to prefer our approach over DreamFusion. Together with the image-conditioned generation capabilities, we provide users with new ways to control 3D synthesis, opening up new avenues to various creative applications.

Radiance Field methods have recently revolutionized novel-view synthesis of scenes captured with multiple photos or videos. However, achieving high visual quality still requires neural networks that are costly to train and render, while recent faster methods inevitably trade off speed for quality. For unbounded and complete scenes (rather than isolated objects) and 1080p resolution rendering, no current method can achieve real-time display rates. We introduce three key elements that allow us to achieve state-of-the-art visual quality while maintaining competitive training times and importantly allow high-quality real-time (≥ 30 fps) novel-view synthesis at 1080p resolution. First, starting from sparse points produced during camera calibration, we represent the scene with 3D Gaussians that preserve desirable properties of continuous volumetric radiance fields for scene optimization while avoiding unnecessary computation in empty space; Second, we perform interleaved optimization/density control of the 3D Gaussians, notably optimizing anisotropic covariance to achieve an accurate representation of the scene; Third, we develop a fast visibility-aware rendering algorithm that supports anisotropic splatting and both accelerates training and allows realtime rendering. We demonstrate state-of-the-art visual quality and real-time rendering on several established datasets.
