Samsung Partners with KICS to Train AI on 20,000 Telecom Papers
Samsung does indulge in commercial agreements with top technology institutes and companies for the benefit of its work culture. In order to provide a thesis database at Samsung Electronics’ Seoul R&D Campus, the company struck a commercial agreement with the Korea Communications Society on December 14th. As a part of this commercial agreement, Samsung Electronics will study the company’s next-generation communication technologies and get 20,000 papers from the Korea Communications Society to use as learning material for the generative AI model Samsung Gauss.
Invitees for the agreement ceremony:
- Hong In-ki, president of the Korean Society of Communications
- Lee Eun-gyu, director of the Ministry of Science
- ICT’s artificial intelligence dissemination team
- Jeon Gyeong-hoon, president of Samsung Electronics’ Samsung Research
Since the papers’ dependability has been established, they should be very helpful as AI model training data. The Korean Society of Communications holds papers that include fact-based text, formulae, tables, graphs, and images. In November of last year, at the “Samsung AI Forum,” Samsung Research first introduced the language, code, and image model of Samsung Gauss, a self-developed generative AI model. Samsung Electronics intends to leverage Samsung Gauss to foster innovation in business practices and further the development of generative AI technology, which will enable new experiences in people’s everyday lives.
These include the language model, which speeds up and simplifies operations like translating, summarizing papers, and drafting emails. It may also enhance the user experience by managing devices more intelligently.
The Korea Communications Society:
Established in 1974, the Korean Society of Telecommunication is the biggest academic association in Korea focused on information and communication technology, and it plays a significant role in enhancing the competitiveness of the country’s communication industry. The collaboration aims to advance generative AI technologies and boost domestic competitiveness.
Expert statements regarding the collaboration:
Lee Jong-ho, Minister of Science and ICT, delivered a congratulatory speech, saying, “This agreement is a social contribution project to increase the competitiveness of Korean generative AI, and we hope that the cooperation between the Korea Communications Association and Samsung Electronics will contribute to the development of our country’s AI industry.”.
Hong In-ki, president of the Korean Society of Communications, said, “We will secure national competitiveness through the development of generative AI trained with high-quality data and conduct continuous research based on the results of future technology development.”
Samsung Electronics President Kyung-Hoon Jeon said, “This agreement ceremony is the first step toward meaningful collaboration between global IT companies and research academies.” He added, “In the future, Samsung Electronics will continue to expand cooperation with research academies in various fields and continue to strive to acquire the best technology.”.
The first quarter of 2024 is already over; during this interval, Samsung has introduced several Galaxy smartphones of particular belonging, such as the flagship Galaxy S24 series, the Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35, the mid-range ones, the Galaxy A15 and Galaxy F15, the budgetable ones, and many more. But the fact is, after being the latest smartphones, they have a lack of ‘charging speed.’
Undoubtedly, Samsung is leading the tech industry with its top-notch features, design, and larger batteries, as compared to other Android manufacturers, but despite all this, it has a massive lack of charging speed. Samsung usually attaches larger batteries to its Galaxy smartphones to enhance the users’ non-stop-using experience. But a larger battery isn’t worth it unless it has a good charging speed.
On the other hand, Chinese manufacturers are equipping their smartphones with charging speeds north of 100W, whereas 45W is the maximum speed you can get on Galaxy smartphones. However, even 45W charging is quite rare among Galaxy phones. Samsung has launched most of the Galaxy devices in the last couple of years, including the flagship with support for 25W.
Here we are making things easy for you if you are looking to buy a Galaxy smartphone that debuted in 2024 with the support of 45W charging speed by mentioning a list of devices:
- Galaxy S24 Ultra
- Galaxy S24+
- Galaxy F55
- Galaxy M55
- Galaxy C55
The list is quite short, even considering that the Galaxy F55, M55, and C55 are just rebranded variants of the same smartphone for different regions. Now Samsung is setting up to launch its next-generation foldable devices, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, in July, but it is yet to be confirmed whether these devices will get a boost in charging speeds from 25W or not.
The Korean brand – Samsung has recently announced its two mid-range Galaxy smartphones – Galaxy A55 5G and Galaxy A35 5G. A new benchmark listing has a spot for Samsung’s affordable smartphone, Galaxy35 5G.
Samsung is now gearing up for its next affordable Galaxy smartphone, the M35 5G, as the reports are unvunveilhey have found a new benchmark listing for Samsung the Galaxy M35 5G.
The smartphone has been spotted with the model number as an identification code – SM-M356B on the Geekbench 6.2.2 database. Not only this, but it also confirmed the presence of 6GB of RAM and Android 14 OS. The chipset also came to know which is the latest Exynos 1380.
The codename for the motherboard is also mentioned, which is ‘s5e8835.’ The reports say that it has scored 656 and 1967 points in performance scores on the benchmarking platform. Exynos 1380 is the latest chipset of the Korean brand, which is a 5 nm processor. It consists of 4 Cortex A78 cores, which clock at 2.4GHz, and 4 Cortex A55 cores, which clock at 2.0GHz. It is coupled with a Mali g68 MP5 GPU. It also has an AI Engine.
This also offers connectivity options, which include the latest Bluetooth version 5.3 and Wi-Fi 802.11 ax with three bands. It supports a camera resolution of at least 200MP for capturing images, and for video recording, there is support for up to 30fps 4K recording. The storage supported is UFS v3.1, and RAM will be of the LPDDR4x/5 type.
Samsung has recently debuted its two smartphones, Galaxy A55, and Galaxy A35; the Galaxy A35 5G smartphone is powered by Exynos 1380 chipset. From this perspective, Galaxy M35 5G could be a variant of Galaxy A35.
At the moment, no specs and features of the device have been revealed or leaked. Still, since Galaxy M series smartphones usually have a bit higher battery power of at least 6000mAh, the forthcoming Galaxy M35 5G smartphone also arrives with the same battery power.
