Large Language Models are transforming biotech. Learn how Flagship Pioneering is streamlining scientific research with highly-accurate RAG with Activeloop Deep Lake & 4th Gen Xeon Scalable Processors.
Drug Discovery, meet Generative AI. Thrilled to unveil Flagship Pioneering's exciting achievement in the biotech sector: harnessing the power of Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) for faster drug discovery and improving retrieval accuracy by 18.5% with Activeloop Deep Lake. Flagship Pioneering is a biotechnology company that invents platforms and builds companies focused on making bigger leaps in human health and sustainability. The company’s work ranges from applications in human health, such as designing new therapeutic modalities or early cancer detection, to tackling challenges in climate and sustainability, such as finding more resilient forms of agriculture. Flagship, and its Pioneering Intelligence (PI) initiative, as well as Activeloop embarked on a collaboration to solve a challenge: efficiently answering complex scientific questions by searching through large-scale, multi-modal data without compromising accuracy or adding complexity? This is where Activeloop made a difference. Together, Pioneering Intelligence and Activeloop formed a research partnership to address these needs. PI developed systems to generate and evaluate “realistic” questions across a diverse range of biological topics that Flagship might pose during scientific exploration. Activeloop provided Deep Lake, the database for AI, and a capability called Deep Memory. Deep Memory enhances retrieval accuracy using a learnable index from labeled queries for specific RAG applications without affecting search time. ?? With Activeloop, Flagship Pioneering significantly improved their retrieval capabilities, with a 18% increase in accuracy compared to traditional methods, and streamlining drug discovery R&D process. ?? Key Insights: 1?? Efficiency & Accuracy: Deep Lake and Deep Memory enhance RAG applications in biotech with simpler data access and increased accuracy. 2?? Multi-Layer Solutions to Solve Pressing Issues: The synergy between Flagship Pioneering, Activeloop, and the Intel Rise Program showcases how biotech's most pressing challenges can be addressed with AI-native data storage and computing (Intel XEON scalable processors). 3?? Multi-Modality as a Key to Innovation: With plans to expand across data types, Flagship is leading industry innovation in how biologists interact with scientific data ?? Mark Kim summarized it best while talking about the collaboration and Deep Lake as a key building block for GenAI: In science, sometimes you have to rethink the basics to make progress. Flagship’s work with Activeloop has been all about that—getting back to the core of how we store and retrieve data for AI to speed up how we solve really tough scientific problems. This success wouldn't be possible without the support of Chris, Susan, and Arijit from the Intel Corporation & the thought leadership of Ian and Mark from Pioneering Intelligence, who are at the forefront of GenAI at Flagship Pioneering!
