A schematic overview of the formose reservoir computer. Credit: Nature (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41586-024-07567-x Researchers from the Institute for Molecules and Materials at Radboud University, Netherlands, have demonstrated that a complex self-organizing chemical reaction network can perform various computational tasks, such as nonlinear classification and complex dynamics prediction. The field of molecular computing interests researchers who …

Inceptive CEO Jakob Uszkoreit says AI will transform pharmaceuticals

2024-07-12 05:58 AM by Eugen Boglaru

Before co-founding biotech startup Inceptive, Jakob Uszkoreit had an idea that would eventually make generative artificial intelligence possible. As a researcher at Google in 2017, Uszkoreit was trying to speed up the training of neural networks. He suggested using a new way to interpret data called self-attention. That idea gave way to the transformer, the …

ATLAS releases 65 TB of open data for research

2024-07-01 05:12 AM by Wanda Parisien

The ATLAS Experiment at CERN has made two years’ worth of scientific data available to the public for research purposes. The data include recordings of proton–proton collisions from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at a collision energy of 13 TeV. This is the first time that ATLAS has released data on this scale, and it …

Meta AI Chief Yann LeCun slams Musk over ‘blatantly false’ promises

2024-06-04 08:10 AM by Eugen Boglaru

The spat began days earlier, on May 27, after Musk took to X to encourage people to apply for roles at his AI startup, xAI. The company, which last week announced it had raised $6 billion, is in a battle for AI engineers with high-profile startups, such as OpenAI and Anthropic, as well as top …

“The dress” debate was the high-water mark for fun on the internet

2024-06-03 05:43 AM by Tyler Fields

If you were on the internet on February 26, 2015, you saw The Dress. Prompted by a comment on Tumblr, BuzzFeed writer Cates Holderness posted a simple low-quality image of a striped dress, with the headline “What Colors Are This Dress?” The answers: blue and black or white and gold. The URL: “help-am-i-going-insane-its-definitely-blue.” Do you …

How it will impact us, model civility

2024-06-02 03:09 AM by Eugen Boglaru

So, which path is it for AI and us? Armageddon or enlightenment? Alex Hummel | For the Oshkosh Northwestern Does the name “HAL 9000” ring a bell? HAL was the artificially intelligent (and authentically diabolical) computer in 1968’s landmark film “2001: A Space Odyssey.” Despite his/its programmed politeness, HAL, uh … let’s just say HAL …

Quantum computing for several AGV scheduling models

2024-05-28 04:51 PM by Wanda Parisien

AGV scheduling problems have many classifications according to different scenarios and considerations. For example, consider the time window of the task, joint optimization of scheduling and path, cooperation with other devices, charging strategy and so on. Due to the limitation of quantum bits of CIM, it is impossible to solve the AGV scheduling problem in …

The potential use of artificial intelligence for venous thromboembolism prophylaxis and management: clinician and healthcare informatician perspectives

2024-05-25 07:35 PM by Eugen Boglaru

Healthcare informatician—respondent characteristics Of 101 respondents to the healthcare informatician survey, a majority were greater than 40 years old (54.5%), male (62.0%), and white (70.1%) (Table 1). Respondents could identify as more than one role; most were clinicians (44.6%), followed by data scientists (36.6%). Most respondents reported that they had been practicing in informatics for more than …
