A team of researchers at Google’s DeepMind, London, has found that AI can find faster algorithms to solve matrix multiplication problems. In their paper published in the journal Nature, the group describes using reinforcement learning to improve math-based algorithms. A Research Briefing has…
Abstract The rapid progress of technology over the past few decades has led to the emergence of two powerful computational paradigms known as quantum computing and machine learning. While machine learning tries to learn the solutions from data, quantum computing harnesses the…
Our latest briefing explores a suspension of activity on the Stop Discrimination by Algorithms Act of 2021, an IAIS discussion on discrimination in advertising, and the anticipated release of a U.S./EU AI roadmap. Regulatory and Legislative Developments Stop Discrimination by Algorithms Bill…
Don’t miss the chance to win $50,000 for your college or university! The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division is hosting a challenge where competing teams can put their skills to the test and walk away with the top prize. The challenge…
A U.S. retailer was spending $50 million a year bidding across a million keywords on Google. This spend drove $500 million of sales (equivalent to a ROAS, or return on ad spend, of 10). They were very pleased with the results and…
Observing the intricate ways that nature works can give us plenty of relevant ideas to develop solutions to combat our own problems. The reach of AI is far, and so too is its influencers, with nature helping to drive developments in the technology. Already,…
A quiet revolution is taking place. In contrast to much of the press coverage of artificial intelligence, this revolution is not about the ascendance of a sentient android army. Rather, it is characterized by a steady increase in the automation of traditionally human-based…
Most computers and algorithms — including, at this point, many artificial intelligence (AI) applications — run on general-purpose circuits called central processing units or CPUs. Though, when some calculations are done often, computer scientists and electrical engineers design special circuits that can perform the…
When Frances Haugen blew the whistle on Facebook, she thrust algorithm—a clunky Silicon Valley buzzword—into mainstream conversation. Facebook’s algorithm, the mathematical map for how the platform works, was intentionally insidious, Haugen said: It boosted divisive content to the top of users’ timelines to ensnare them…
We’re in the midst of a data revolution. The volume of digital data created within the next five years will total twice the amount produced so far — and unstructured data will define this new era of digital experiences. Unstructured data — information that doesn’t follow conventional…
