Struggling to compare or improve your automations? Opus offers a simple, quantitative way to score and optimize any Workflow—so you can pick what works, fix what doesn’t, and waste fewer resources.

What’s inside

Opus Workflow Reward: a probabilistic score that blends likelihood of success, resource usage, and the value of the output.
Normative Penalties: measurable checks on Workflow design quality—cohesion, coupling, observability, and information hygiene.

Together, they let teams automatically assess, rank, and refine Workflows, and even plug into reinforcement learning loops to discover better designs over time.

In short: higher reward, fewer penalties, better Workflow.

Why it matters: You get an apples-to-apples score to compare alternatives, evidence-backed guidance on what to improve, and a path to lower cost and higher reliability in modern automation systems (including Opus).

Automating GDPR Compliance: A Roadmap for Companies and Law Firms

GDPR compliance is more than checkboxes. A new roadmap from the Privatech project shows how automation and machine learning can help companies and law firms assess—and even generate—privacy compliance. * Shift the focus to data processors’ real workflows: drafting policies, mapping data uses, documenting decisions. * Break compliance into machine-ready

FPGAs for Faster, Leaner Deep Learning: A Review of CNN Accelerators

Deep learning drives image search, robots, and medical scans. Most systems lean on CPUs and GPUs. This review asks: what if we run convolutional neural networks (CNNs) on FPGAs—reconfigurable chips you can tailor to the model? * Why FPGAs: custom dataflows, low latency, and strong energy efficiency—great for cameras,

Dynamic-K: Recommendations That Know When to Stop

Most apps show a fixed number of “top” items—say 10 movies or 20 products—assuming there are always enough good options. But that’s not always true: sometimes there are few relevant items, or some users are extra picky. The result? Filler recommendations. Dynamic-K flips the script. Instead of

Teaching chatbots to stop contradicting themselves (DECODE)

Teaching chatbots to stop contradicting themselves Ever had a bot say one thing, then the opposite a few turns later? This study introduces DECODE—a new task and dataset for spotting contradictions in everyday conversations, drawn from both human-human and human-bot chats. * New data beats existing natural language inference (NLI)
