Assessing a community’s risk of extreme weather events – such as catastrophic storms and catastrophic flooding – is a key task for policymakers who are trying to prepare for the potential impacts of global climate change. Despite major advancements in technology and modeling techniques, however, these forecasts leave a lot to be desired. Now, a…
The increased adoption and integration of large Language Models (LLMs) in the biomedical sector for interpretation, summary and decision-making support has led to the development of an innovative reliability assessment framework known as Reliability AssessMent for Biomedical LLM Assistants (RAmBLA). This research, led by Imperial College London and GSK.ai, puts a spotlight on the critical…
Large Language Models (LLMs) have proven to be game-changers in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), thanks to their vast exposure to information and versatile application scope. However, despite their many capabilities, LLMs still face hurdles, especially in mathematical reasoning, a critical aspect of AI’s cognitive skills. To address this problem, extensive research is being…
Large Language Models (LLMs) have transformed the landscape of Artificial Intelligence. However, their true potential, especially in mathematic reasoning, remains untapped and underexplored. A group of researchers from the University of Hong Kong and Microsoft have proposed an innovative approach named 'CoT-Influx' to bridge this gap. This approach is aimed at enhancing the mathematical reasoning…
Companies like FedEx find the task of efficiently routing holiday packages massively complex, often requiring the use of specialized software to find a solution. This software, called a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) solver, is used to break down large optimization problems into smaller bits and find the best solution using algorithms. However, this process can…
Eric Evans, the director of MIT Lincoln Laboratory, will be stepping down from his position on July 1, 2024, after an 18-year tenure. Following this, he will be assuming the role of fellow in the director's office at Lincoln Laboratory, as well as hold an appointment as a senior fellow in the Security Studies Program…
Numerous companies like FedEx grapple with the sophisticated problem of optimising the routing of holiday packages. Specialised software known as a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) solver is often used to split this massive optimisation issue into smaller pieces, allowing generic algorithms to locate the most suitable solution. This time-consuming process sometimes forces companies to settle…
Researchers from MIT have developed a machine learning approach that could replace the intuition-based methods typically used in the creation of catalysts. The team, led by graduate student Xiaochen Du, devised a system that offers more detailed insights than conventional techniques, identifying previously undiscovered atomic configurations in a material that had been researched for three…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an ever-evolving field that requires effective methods for incorporating new knowledge into existing models. The fast-paced generation of information renders models outdated quickly, necessitating model editing techniques that can equip AI models with the latest information without compromising their foundation or overall performance.
There are two key challenges in this process: accuracy…
Machine learning frameworks' integration with various hardware architectures has proven to be a complicated and time-consuming process, primarily due to the lack of standardized interfaces, which frequently results in compatibility problems and impedes the adoption of new hardware technologies. It usually requires developers to write specific code for each piece of hardware, with communication costs…
