Large Language Models (LLMs) have gained immense technological prowess over the recent years, thanks largely to the exponential growth of data on the internet and ongoing advancements in pre-training methods. Despite their progress, LLMs' dependency on English datasets limits their performance in other languages. This challenge, known as the "curse of multilingualism," suggests that models…
A committee of leaders and scholars from MIT has developed a policy framework for the governance of artificial intelligence (AI) in the United States. The aim of these policy briefs is to enhance U.S. leadership in AI and limit the potential harm from new technologies while promoting awareness of the societal benefits of AI deployment.
The…
Mathematician Justin Solomon is using modern geometric techniques to solve complex problems, often unrelated to shapes. He explains that geometric tools can be used to compare datasets, providing insight into the performance of machine-learning models. He asserted the significance of distance, similarity, curvature, and shape, all derived from geometry, in discussing data.
His Geometric Data…
Photolithography is an important process in the manufacture of computer chips and optical devices like lenses, using light to carve precise features onto a surface. However, minor deviations during the manufacturing process can lead to these devices underperforming when compared to the original designs. To address this issue, researchers from MIT and the Chinese University…
An MIT study has taken a significant step towards the development of computational models capable of mimicking the structure and function of the human auditory system. The models could have applications in the production of improved hearing aids, cochlear implants, and brain-machine interfaces. The researchers discovered that modern machine learning-derived computational models are progressing towards…
Hydrogen, one of the most abundant elements in the Universe, mainly exists alongside other elements. However, the discovery of naturally occurring underground pockets of pure hydrogen is increasingly attracting attention as an unlimited source of carbon-free energy. In fact, the US Department of Energy recently awarded $20 million in research grants to 18 teams to…
