A method for designing neural networks optimally suited for certain tasks

With the right building blocks, machine-learning models can more accurately perform tasks like fraud detection or spam filtering.

New method accelerates data retrieval in huge databases

Researchers used machine learning to build faster and more efficient hash functions, which are a key component of databases.

Efficient technique improves machine-learning models’ reliability

The method enables a model to determine its confidence in a prediction, while using no additional data and far fewer computing resources than other methods.
