Protein sequence design is a significant part of protein engineering for drug discovery, involving the exploration of vast amino acid sequence combinations. To overcome the limitations of traditional methods like evolutionary strategies, researchers have proposed utilizing reinforcement learning (RL) techniques to facilitate the creation of new protein sequences. This progress comes as advancements in protein…
The use of Large Language Models (LLMs) for automating and assisting in coding holds promise for improving the efficiency of software development. However, the challenge is ensuring these models produce code that is not only helpful but also secure, as the code generated could potentially be used maliciously. This concern is not theoretical, as real-world…
The study of multilingual natural language processing (NLP) is rapidly progressing, seeking to create language models capable of interpreting and generating text in various languages. The central goal of this research is to improve global communication and access to information, making artificial intelligence technologies accessible across diverse linguistic backgrounds.
However, creating such models brings significant challenges,…
Software engineering frequently employs formal verification to guarantee program correctness, a process frequently facilitated by bounded model checking (BMC). Traditional verification tools use explicit type information, making Python, a dynamic programming language, difficult to verify. The lack of clear type information in Python programs makes ensuring their safety a challenging process, especially in systems with…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) search engines are revolutionizing users' online search experience by delivering more precise results tailored to user preferences, using advanced algorithms, machine learning, natural language processing, and deep learning. They provide individualized results, understand the context behind the queries, and can even understand poorly structured questions. Some notable AI search engines that are…
Natural language processing (NLP) is a field in computer science that seeks to enable computers to interpret and generate human language. This has various applications such as machine translation and sentiment analysis. However, there are limitations and inefficiencies with conventional tokenizers employed in large language models (LLMs). These tokenizers break down text into subwords, demanding…

Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have long been used in artificial intelligence but are often criticized for their static structure which struggles to adapt to changing circumstances. This has restricted their use in areas such as real-time adaptive systems or robotics. In response to this, researchers from the IT University of Copenhagen have designed an innovative…
Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), while transformative, have traditional shortcomings in terms of adaptability and plasticity. This lack of flexibility poses a significant challenge for their applicability in dynamic and unpredictable environments. It also inhibits their effectiveness in real-time applications like robotics and adaptive systems, making real-time learning and adaptation a crucial achievement for artificial intelligence…
Google's research team is working on developing an optimized machine learning (ML) method known as "boosting." Boosting involves creating high performing models using a "weak learner oracle" which gives classifiers a performance slightly better than random guessing. Over the years, boosting has evolved into a first-order optimization setting. However, some in the industry erroneously define…
Boosting, a highly effective machine learning (ML) optimization setting, has evolved from a model that did not require first-order loss information into a method that necessitates this knowledge. Despite this transformation, few investigations have been made into boosting, even as machine learning witnesses a surge in zeroth-order optimization - methods that bypass the use of…
