Selector AI and the Workings of an LLM
An LLM differs from a function in that it takes output and imputes, or infers, a function and its arguments. We first consider how this process works within Selector for an English phrase converted to a query. We then step through the design of Selector’s LLM, which relies on a base LLM trained with English […]
Solving the Query Problem with Selector AI
Selector translates English phrases to SQL queries through the use of an LLM. Each SQL query includes the table, or data set to be searched, along with filters, or conditions which prune the search results. We walk through a number of SQL queries and sample search results, before considering the LLM-based translation of a sample […]
Democratization of Data Access Using Network LLMs with Selector AI
In this brief demo of the Selector platform, a user interacts with Selector Copilot to explore behavior within their network infrastructure.
