We’re Training AI Twice as Fast This Year as Last

IEEE Spectrum: According to the best measures we’ve got, a set of benchmarks called MLPerf, machine learning systems can be trained nearly twice as quickly they could last year. It’s a figure that outstrips Moore’s Law, but also one we’ve come…

Deep learning identifies head-on collisions in LHC data

Physics World: Deep learning could hold the key to making sense of proton collisions generated in the world’s premier particle accelerator. That is the message from physicists in Europe and the US who have shown how an algorithm developed for language…

‘It keeps on going’: driving the world’s first production-ready solar car

The Guardian: Winding past the ochre-coloured plateaux of the Bardenas Reales natural park in northern Spain, Roel Grooten nudged me to take my foot off the accelerator. The car continued…

Improving Cell Reception By Making Signals Noisier

IEEE Spectrum: In wireless communications, noise from the environment or other signals is almost always seen as something to overcome. The Mountain View, Calif.–based Artemis Networks, however, has a different idea. Artemis has developed a system in which a group of…
