In the highly competitive field of AI development, company Zyphra has announced a significant breakthrough with a new model called Zamba-7B. This compact model contains 7 billion parameters, but it competes favorably with larger models that are more resource-intensive. Key to the success of the Zamba-7B is a novel architectural design that improves both performance…
Photolithography, the technique used to create computer chips and optical devices, often results in minuscule deviations from design intentions. With the goal of closing the gap between design and manufacturing, a team of researchers from MIT and the Chinese University of Hong Kong, led by mechanical engineering graduate student Cheng Zheng, used machine learning to…
Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have used machine learning to expedite calculations of transition states in chemical reactions, a process that could support the invention of new reactions and catalysts with applications in fuels, pharmaceuticals and understanding the origins of life. Using a method known as density functional theory to compute transition states…
Scientists at MIT have developed a machine learning-based technique for rapidly calculating the transition state of a chemical reaction, a step that was previously extremely time-consuming using traditional quantum chemistry methods. The transition state is a crucial yet fleeting phase in any reaction, marking the point where molecules have gained enough energy for a reaction…
Researchers at MIT have developed a new method that allows animators to have more control over their creations. Using mathematical functions called barycentric coordinates, they can now better control how 2D and 3D shapes stretch, move, and bend. Unlike traditional methods that only offered limited options for animation, this new method provides animators a level…
A new technique introduced by MIT researchers promises artists greater control over the animations of heroes and villains in animated movies and video games. The method generates barycentric coordinates - mathematical functions that define how 2D and 3D shapes can move, bend, and stretch in space. This allows an artist to shape the motion of…
Using artificial intelligence in the form of deep learning, researchers from MIT have discovered compounds capable of killing methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a drug-resistant bacteria that reportedly causes over 10,000 deaths in the U.S. each year. This breakthrough was achieved by training a deep learning model using predictive information based on antibiotic potency of a…
The growth and advancements in machine learning (ML) models have led to huge models that require a significant amount of computational resources for training and inferencing. Consequently, monitoring or observing these models and their performance is crucial for fine tuning and cost optimization. AWS has developed a solution to this using some of its tools…
Portfolio managers in the asset management industry face challenges in identifying secondary and tertiary impacts on their portfolio companies originating at suppliers, customers, partners, or other entities in their ecosystem. This piece illustrates an automated system that combines knowledge graphs and generative AI to help in identifying such risks. The system scans real-time news and…
April 20th is a significant date for both marijuana enthusiasts and Bitcoin investors. It is celebrated by the former as a day to indulge in weed and for the latter, it signifies the historic "Bitcoin halving" which occurs once every four years.
Bitcoin enthusiasts across Australia shared how they plan on celebrating the day. Santo, a…
