How neural networks represent data: A potential unifying theory for key deep learning phenomena
This article has been reviewed according to Science X's editorial process and policies . Editors have highlighted the following attributes while ensuring the content's credibility: How do neural networks work? It's a question that can confuse novices and experts alike. A team from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) says that understanding these representations, as well as how they inform the ways that neural networks learn from data, is crucial for improving the interpretability, efficiency, and generalizability of deep learning models.
Youngkin fires Bert Ellis from University of Virginia Board of Visitors • Virginia Mercury
Gov. Glenn Youngkin fired businessman Bert Ellis from the University of Virginia’s Board of Visitors on Wednesday and announced plans to appoint former state senator and Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli to replace him. “It is with sadness that I remove you as a member of the University of Virginia Board of Visitors,” the governor wrote in a Wednesday letter to Ellis, who has a history of making controversial statements and whose 2022 appointment to the board was protested by UVA “faculty senate, student council and campus newspaper, the Cavalier...
Combining photonic neural networks with distributed acoustic sensing for infrastructure monitoring
This article has been reviewed according to Science X's editorial process and policies . Editors have highlighted the following attributes while ensuring the content's credibility: Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) systems represent cutting-edge technology in infrastructure monitoring, capable of detecting minute vibrations along fiber optic cables spanning tens of kilometers. These systems have proven invaluable for applications ranging from earthquake detection and oil exploration to railway monitoring and submarine cable surveillance.
AI image recognition detects bubble-like structures in the universe
This article has been reviewed according to Science X's editorial process and policies . Editors have highlighted the following attributes while ensuring the content's credibility: To learn more about the deepest reaches of our own galaxy and the mysteries of star formation, Japanese researchers have created a deep learning model. The Osaka Metropolitan University-led team used artificial intelligence to pore through the vast amounts of data being acquired from space telescopes, finding bubble-like structures that had not been included in existing astronomical databases.
AI ‘wingmen’ bots to write profiles and flirt on dating apps
AI bots will soon be rolled out on dating apps to flirt with people, craft messages on users’ behalf and write their profiles for them.
But depending on artificial intelligence to foster budding relationships risks eroding what little human authenticity is left on dating platforms, experts have warned.
Comedians Tom Segura, Bert Kreischer try NADC Burger at SXSW. Watch their reaction
NADC Burger left comedians Tom Segura and Bert Kreischer nearly speechless — for all the right reasons. The pair were spotted devouring the burgers, born from a collaboration between professional skateboarder Neen Williams and Michelin-starred chef Phillip Frankland Lee, at a Por Osos vodka party in south Austin during the South by Southwest Festival. "This is so good," Kreischer says as he closes his eyes in what appears to be pure bliss. "This is so good. "It's good with the vodka, too," Frankland Lee agrees. "Actually, we've been talking about...
China has a new 'completely autonomous' AI agent. Here's what to know about Manus
In the past year, artificial intelligence leaders have talked about the advent of agents that can do work autonomously. Now, China says it has developed the world’s first.
Last week, Chinese researchers launched an early preview of Manus AI, which they said is “the first general AI agent.”
“This isn’t just another chatbot or workflow,” Yichao “Peak” Ji, chief scientist for Manus AI, said in an introductory video. “It’s a truly autonomous agent that bridges the gap between conception...
