  • Entropy calculation: log₂(3) ≈ 1.58 bits
  • More efficient than standard 2-bit (4 values) representation

2. Weight Quantization

  • Ternary weight system with correlation-based interpretation:
    • +1: Positive correlation
    • -1: Negative correlation
    • 0: No relation

3. Multi-Layer Structure

  • Leverages combinatorial power of multi-layer architecture
  • Enables non-linear function approximation despite extreme quantization

4. Precision-Targeted Operations

  • Minimizes high-precision operations
  • Combines 8-bit activation (input data) with 1.58-bit weights
  • Precise activation functions where needed

5. Hardware & Kernel Optimization

  • CPU (ARM) kernel-level optimization
  • Leverages bitwise operations (especially multiply → bit operations)
  • Memory management through SIMD instructions
  • Supports non-standard nature of 1.58-bit data

6. Token Relationship Computing

  • Single token uses N weights of {1, -1, 0} to calculate relationships with all other tokens

Summary

BitNet represents a breakthrough in neural network efficiency by using extreme weight quantization (1.58-bit) that dramatically reduces memory usage and computational complexity while preserving model performance through hardware-optimized bitwise operations and multi-layer combinatorial representation power.

The Evolution of Mainstream Data in Computing

Posted on by lechuck park

This diagram illustrates the evolution of mainstream data types throughout computing history, showing how the complexity and volume of processed data has grown exponentially across different eras.

Evolution of Mainstream Data by Computing Era:

  1. Calculate (1940s-1950s) – Numerical Data: Basic mathematical computations dominated
  2. Database (1960s-1970s) – Structured Data: Tabular, organized data became central
  3. Internet (1980s-1990s) – Text/Hypertext: Web pages, emails, and text-based information
  4. Video (2000s-2010s) – Multimedia Data: Explosive growth of video, images, and audio content
  5. Machine Learning (2010s-Present) – Big Data/Pattern Data: Large-scale, multi-dimensional datasets for training
  6. Human Perceptible/Everything (Future) – Universal Cognitive Data: Digitization of all human senses, cognition, and experiences

The question marks on the right symbolize the fundamental uncertainty surrounding this final stage. Whether everything humans perceive – emotions, consciousness, intuition, creativity – can truly be fully converted into computational data remains an open question due to technical limitations, ethical concerns, and the inherent nature of human cognition.

Summary: This represents a data-centric view of computing evolution, progressing from simple numerical processing to potentially encompassing all aspects of human perception and experience, though the ultimate realization of this vision remains uncertain.

Operations : Changes Detection and then

Posted on by lechuck park

Process Analysis from “Change Drives Operations” Perspective

Core Philosophy

“No Change, No Operation” – This diagram illustrates the fundamental IT operations principle that operations are driven by change detection.

Change-Centric Operations Framework

1. Change Detection as the Starting Point of All Operations

  • Top-tier monitoring systems continuously detect changes
  • No Changes = No Operations (left gray boxes)
  • Change Detected = Operations Initiated (blue boxes)

2. Operational Strategy Based on Change Characteristics

Change Detection → Operational Need Assessment → Appropriate Response
  • Normal Changes → Standard operational activities
  • Anomalies → Immediate response operations
  • Real-time Events → Emergency operational procedures

3. Cyclical Structure Based on Operational Outcomes

  • Maintenance: Stable operations maintained through proper change management
  • Fault/Big Cost: Increased costs due to inadequate response to changes

Key Insights

“Change Determines Operations”

  1. System without change = No intervention required
  2. System with change = Operational activity mandatory
  3. Early change detection = Efficient operations
  4. Proper change classification = Optimized resource allocation

Operational Paradigm

This diagram demonstrates the evolution from Reactive Operations to Proactive Operations, where:

  • Traditional Approach: Wait for problems → React
  • Modern Approach: Detect changes → Predict → Respond proactively

The framework recognizes change as the trigger for all operational activities, embodying the contemporary IT operations paradigm where:

  • Operations are event-driven rather than schedule-driven
  • Intelligence (AI/Analytics) transforms raw change data into actionable insights
  • Automation ensures appropriate responses to different types of changes

This represents a shift toward Change-Driven Operations Management, where the operational workload directly correlates with the rate and nature of system changes, enabling more efficient resource utilization and better service reliability.

Human Extends

Posted on by lechuck park

This image is a conceptual diagram titled “Human Extend” that illustrates the cognitive extension of human capabilities and the role of AI tools.

Core Concept

“Human See” at the center represents the core of human observation and understanding abilities.

Bidirectional Extension Structure

Left: Macro Perspective

  • Represented by an orange circle
  • “A deeper understanding of the micro leads to better macro predictions”

Right: Micro Perspective

  • Represented by a blue circle
  • “A deeper understanding of the macro leads to better micro predictions”

Role of AI and Data

The upper portion shows two supporting tools:

  1. AI (by Tool): Represented by an atomic structure-like icon
  2. Data (by Data): Represented by network and database icons

Overall Meaning

This diagram visually represents the concept that human cognitive abilities can be extended through AI tools and data analysis, enabling deeper mutual understanding between microscopic details and macroscopic patterns. It illustrates the complementary relationship where understanding small details leads to better prediction of the big picture, and understanding the big picture leads to more accurate prediction of details.

The diagram suggests that AI and data serve as amplifying tools that enhance human perception, allowing for more sophisticated analysis across different scales of observation and prediction.

‘IF THEN’ with AI

Posted on by lechuck park

This image is a diagram titled “IF-THEN with AI” that explains conditional logic and automation levels in AI systems.

Top Section: Basic IF-THEN Structure

  • IF (Condition): Conditional part shown in blue circle
  • THEN (Action): Execution part shown in purple circle
  • Marked as “Program Essential,” emphasizing it as a core programming element

Middle Section: Evolution of Conditional Complexity

AI is ultimately a program, and like humans who wanted to predict by sensing data, making judgments, and taking actions based on those criteria. IF-THEN is essentially prediction – the foundation of programming that involves recognizing situations, making judgments, and taking actions.

Evolution stages of data/formulas:

  • a = 1: Simple value
  • a, b, c … ?: Processing multiple complex values simultaneously
  • Z ≠ 1: A condition that finds the z value through code on the left and compares it to 1 (highlighted with red circle, with annotation “making ‘z’ by codes”)

Now we input massive amounts of data and analyze with AI, though it has somewhat probabilistic characteristics.

Bottom Section: Evolution of AI Decision-Making Levels

Starting from Big Data through AI networks, three development directions:

  1. Full AI Autonomy: Complete automation that evolved to “Fine, just let AI handle it”
  2. Human Validation: Stage where humans evaluate AI judgments and incorporate them into operations
  3. AI Decision Support: Approach where humans initially handle the THEN action

Key Perspective: While these three development directions exist, there’s a need for judgment regarding decisions based on the quality of data used in analysis/judgment. This diagram shows that it’s not just about automation levels, but that data quality-based reliability assessment is a crucial consideration.

Summary

This diagram illustrates the evolution from simple conditional programming to complex AI systems, emphasizing that AI fundamentally operates on IF-THEN logic for prediction and decision-making. The key insight is that regardless of automation level, the quality of input data remains critical for reliable AI decision-making processes.
