Ever wonder why AI sometimes misses the big picture—especially when the stakes are high? It’s not just about data or algorithms. It’s about context—and the missing layer that gives AI real understanding: ontologies. Most systems still rely on basic taxonomies, which sort data but don’t explain how things connect. Ontologies, on the other hand, model relationships and meaning—exactly what’s needed in environments like the IC, DoD, and DOJ. Mary Toxey wrote this piece to unpack: - Why this gap exists - How it affects search and decision-making - What we can do to fix it Let’s start the conversation.👇 #AI #Ontologies #GovTech #NationalSecurity #DefenseInnovation #SemanticSearch #DataScience #BasisPath

🛰️ Geospatial intelligence is entering a new era — and AI is leading the way. The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) is seeking more AI and machine learning resources in its FY25 budget, highlighting the accelerating demand for automation, data processing, and mission-ready intelligence. At BasisPath, we’re closely tracking this shift. Our work in mission-critical operations, data architecture, and advanced analytics aligns with the NGA’s call for smarter, faster, and more adaptive solutions. As the defense landscape becomes more data-driven, the ability to turn geospatial data into actionable intelligence—at speed and scale—will define mission success. 📍 Read more on NGA’s 2025 vision: https://lnkd.in/dy47J65f #GeospatialIntelligence #AI #MachineLearning #DefenseTech #NatSec #BasisPath #InnovationInDefense

🚀 Advancing LLM Performance with Ontology-Grounded RAG 🚀 Researchers have introduced Ontology-Grounded Retrieval-Augmented Generation (OG-RAG)—a cutting-edge method that enhances large language model (LLM) responses by anchoring retrieval in domain-specific ontologies. OG-RAG constructs a hypergraph representation of domain documents, encapsulating factual knowledge clusters grounded in ontologies. The impact? ✅ 55% increase in recall of accurate facts ✅ 40% improvement in response correctness across various LLMs This marks a significant step in ensuring more reliable and contextually accurate AI-generated responses.

🚀 AI is Redefining the Future of Programming A recent article from O’Reilly explores a fascinating shift in software development: as AI takes over routine coding tasks, the role of developers is evolving. Rather than focusing on writing every line of code, programmers will increasingly emphasize problem-solving, strategic thinking, and innovation. This transformation could lead to a future where software development is more about guiding AI tools, designing solutions, and tackling complex challenges—a shift that redefines what it means to be a programmer. What are your thoughts on this AI-driven evolution? Will coding become a higher-level, more abstract practice? 📖 Read more: https://lnkd.in/eZ475C72 #AI #SoftwareDevelopment #FutureOfProgramming #Innovation #MachineLearning
