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…
A collective team of researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Adobe, Princeton University, and the Allen Institute for AI have carried out a study to ascertain the accuracy and quality of summaries produced by Large Language Models (LLMs) when summarizing book-length narratives. The purpose of this research was to observe how well AI models…
Developers and data scientists who use Large Language Models (LLMs) such as GPT-4 to leverage their AI capabilities often need tools to help navigate the complex processes involved. A selection of these crucial tools are highlighted here.
Hugging Face extends beyond its AI platform to offer a comprehensive ecosystem for hosting AI models, sharing datasets,…
In the field of audio processing, the ability to separate overlapping speech signals amidst noise is a challenging task. Previous approaches, such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Transformer models, while groundbreaking, have faced limitations when processing long-sequence audio. CNNs, for instance, are constrained by their local receptive capabilities while Transformers, though skillful at modeling…
