Like human brains, large language models reason about diverse data in a general way
A new study shows LLMs represent different data types based on their underlying meaning and reason about data in their dominant language.
Validation technique could help scientists make more accurate forecasts
MIT researchers developed a new approach for assessing predictions with a spatial dimension, like forecasting weather or mapping air pollution.
User-friendly system can help developers build more efficient simulations and AI models
By automatically generating code that leverages two types of data redundancy, the system saves bandwidth, memory, and computation.
New training approach could help AI agents perform better in uncertain conditions
Sometimes, it might be better to train a robot in an environment that’s different from the one where it will be deployed.
Explained: Generative AI’s environmental impact
Rapid development and deployment of powerful generative AI models comes with environmental consequences, including increased electricity demand and water consumption.
