Using Generative AI to View Questions Through Different Academic Disciplines
A scenario to access knowledge can broaden our understanding and help us compare different ways of understanding the world.
A Brief History of Blockchain Interoperability
Four trends shaping today's interconnected blockchain ecosystems.
No Generalization without Understanding and Explanation
LLMs, at least in their generative capabilities, will never be able to perform high-level reasoning like what's needed in deep language understanding, problem solving, and planning.
Intense competition among organizations has made open-sourcing LLMs an attractive strategy that's leveled the competitive field.
Nobel Laureates Consider the State of Quantum Computing
Most experts are reluctant to predict when a large-scale quantum computer will be commercialized.
Technical Marvels, Part 6: Musical Automatons
Music automatons range from singing birds and music boxes to barrel organs and self-playing pianos.
A “mugshot to mugshot” comparison of two images of a face is essentially a solved problem thanks to neural networks, experts say.
Fort Knox Your Data: A Guide to Access Controls
