At Equinor’s giant new North Sea oilfield, thousands of sensors feed into Data Gumbo’s novel blockchain platform—encoding an immutable record of operations, the better to automate contracts, pay vendors and even measure carbon emissions. In the frigid North Sea, 90…
The obsession with models, meaning, the neural network architectures that define the form of a machine learning program, has run its course, said Re. Re recalled how in 2017, “models ruled the world,” with the prime example being Google’s Transformer.…
In a breakthrough that could guide the development of targeted vaccines, MIT researchers used natural language processing methods lifted from the field of computational linguistics to analyze the viral protein sequence data of influenza A, HIV, and SARS-CoV-2 to identify…
In a new machine learning approach, engineers did away with the human brain and all its beautiful complexity. Whereas most machine learning algorithms can’t hone their skills beyond an initial training period, the researchers say the new approach, called a…
“We have a three-pronged approach that broadly looks at the origins of a given content, the content itself, and also the associated metadata that provides us additional informant and clues about a given piece of content”. From a technical standpoint,…
Automatic machine learning (AutoML) is a fast-growing area of deep learning. In simple terms, AutoML seeks to automate the end-to-end process of applying machine learning to real-world problems. Unlike other machine-learning techniques, AutoML requires relatively little human effort, which means…
“It can sometimes take teams of coders days to fix a single bug,” says Justin Gottschlich. Microsoft is building basic code generation into its widely used software development tools, Facebook has made a system called Aroma that autocompletes small programs,…
Computer scientists have asked themselves whether we would even be able to control a superintelligent AI at all, to ensure it would not pose a threat to humanity. “A super-intelligent machine that controls the world sounds like science fiction. But…
From mechanical hearts and brain-controlled prostheses to 3D-printed organs, advances in biotechnology are rapidly transforming how we approach healthcare — and now, doctors have managed to successfully carry out artificial cornea transplants. The world’s first successful artificial cornea transplant was carried out on January 11…
Tesla boss Elon Musk said in an interview late Sunday that a monkey has been wired up to play video games with its mind by a company he founded called Neuralink. Neuralink put a computer chip into the monkey’s skull…
