An AI agent reads its own source code, forms a hypothesis for improvement (such as changing a learning rate or an architecture depth), modifies the code, runs the experiment, and evaluates the results ...

The human brain, weighing roughly three pounds, runs the full spectrum of cognition, motor control, sensory processing, and ...

Despite significant mathematical refinements, econometrics has shown the weaknesses of its logical underpinnings, primarily during economic turning points—financial crises, pandemics, and geopolitical ...

To use this evidence, investigators typically must grow the larvae until adulthood in a laboratory setting and then identify ...

Scientists usually study the molecular machinery that controls gene expression from the perspective of a linear, two-dimensional genome—even though DNA and its bound proteins function in three ...

When we learn a new skill, the brain has to decide—cell by cell—what to change. New research from MIT suggests it can do that with surprising precision, sending targeted feedback to individual neurons ...

Quadratic regression is a classical machine learning technique to predict a single numeric value. Quadratic regression is an extension of basic linear regression. Quadratic regression can deal with ...

With its Alpha series of game-playing AIs, Google’s DeepMind group seemed to have found a way for its AIs to tackle any game, mastering games like chess and Go by repeatedly playing itself during ...

Erdos, explores what researchers call autoformalization, the process of converting traditional mathematical proofs into formats machines can verify using tools such as Lean and Coq.

Google Research has proposed a training method that teaches large language models to approximate Bayesian reasoning by learning from the predictions of an optimal Bayesian system. The approach focuses ...

As new large language models, or LLMs, are rapidly developed and deployed, existing methods for evaluating their safety and discovering potential vulnerabilities quickly become outdated. To identify ...
