Nike has unveiled a revolutionary collection of 13 shoe prototypes, termed the "Athlete Imagined Revolution" (A.I.R.) collection at a dazzling Paris event. The A.I.R. series represents an unprecedented design methodology that expertly blends insights from elite Nike athletes, AI tools, and the latest in digital creation technologies like 3D printing and computational modelling. Nike's designers…
Digital agents, or software designed to streamline interactions between humans and digital platforms, are becoming increasingly popular due to their potential to automate routine tasks. However, a consistent challenge with these agents is their frequent misunderstanding of user commands or inability to adapt to new or unique environments—problems that can lead to errors and inefficiency.…
Large-scale language models (LLMs) have made substantial progress in understanding language by absorbing information from their environment. However, while they excel in areas like historical knowledge and insightful responses, they struggle when it comes to real-time comprehension. Embodied AI, integrated into items like smart glasses or home robots, aims to interact with humans using everyday…
Memory is a crucial component of intelligence, facilitating the recall and application of past experiences to current situations. However, both traditional Transformer models and Transformer-based Large Language Models (LLMs) have limitations related to context-dependent memory due to the workings of their attention mechanisms. This primarily concerns the memory consumption and computation time of these attention…
Scientific research, despite its vital role in improving human well-being, often grapples with challenges due to its complexities and the slow progress it typically makes. This often necessitates specialized expertise. The application of artificial intelligence (AI), especially large language models (LLMs) is identified as a potential game-changer in the process of scientific research. LLMs have…
Recent research in Artificial Intelligence (AI) has shown a growing interest in the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) due to their versatility and adaptability. These models, traditionally used for tasks in natural language processing, are now being explored for potential use in computational tasks, such as regression analysis. The idea behind this exploration is…
Chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting, an instruction method for language models (LMs), seeks to improve a model's performance across arithmetic, commonsense, and symbolic reasoning tasks. However, it falls short in larger models (with over 100 billion parameters) due to its repetitive rationale and propensity to produce unaligned rationales and answers.
Researchers from Penn State University and Amazon AGI…
Justin Solomon, an associate professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), is applying modern geometric techniques to solve complex problems in data science, computer graphics, and artificial intelligence. He draws upon the principles of geometry— the study of shapes—pioneered over 2,000 years ago by Greek mathematician Euclid.
The relevance of geometric principles extends beyond…
Researchers from MIT and the Chinese University of Hong Kong have developed a machine-learning based digital simulator that can more precisely model specific photolithography manufacturing processes used in creating computer chips and optical devices like lenses. The simulator is designed to help close the gap between design and manufacturing, as tiny deviations during the manufacturing…
A new study by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has brought us closer to creating computational models that can mimic the human auditory system in the design of better hearing aids, cochlear implants, and brain-machine interfaces.
The research, which is the most extensive of its kind, showed that most deep neural network models…
During a chemical reaction, molecules gain energy until they reach a point known as the transition state, a pivotal moment where the reaction must proceed. The structures of these states can be determined using quantum chemistry methods, but these calculations are time-intensive. To tackle this issue, a team of MIT researchers developed a machine learning-based…
