Let’s say an environmental scientist is studying whether exposure to air pollution is associated with lower birth weights in a particular county. They might train a machine-learning model to estimate the magnitude of this association, since machine-learning methods are especially good at learning complex relationships. Standard machine-learning methods excel at making predictions and sometimes provide uncertainties, like confidence intervals, for these predictions. However, they generally don’t provide estimates or confidence intervals when determining whether two variables are related. […]
Large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT can write an essay or plan a menu almost instantly. But until recently, it was also easy to stump them. The models, which rely on language patterns to respond to users’ queries, often failed at math problems and were not good at complex reasoning. Suddenly, however, they’ve gotten a lot better at these things. A new generation of LLMs known as reasoning models are being trained to solve complex problems. Like humans, […]
Environmental scientists are increasingly using enormous artificial intelligence models to make predictions about changes in weather and climate, but a new study by MIT researchers shows that bigger models are not always better. The team demonstrates that, in certain climate scenarios, much simpler, physics-based models can generate more accurate predictions than state-of-the-art deep-learning models. Their analysis also reveals that a benchmarking technique commonly used to evaluate machine-learning techniques for climate predictions can be distorted by natural variations in […]
New data confirms Cato scholar David Bier’s report that DHS publicly dismissed as “made up”: 71% of ICE arrests in early October had no criminal convictions, and 45% had no convictions or even pending charges. lead , , The data—directly from ICE—shows arrests of non-criminals have surged 585% year-over-year while ICE ignores nearly 500,000 removable immigrants with actual convictions. You can read Bier’s full analysis here. His previous data can be found here. If you’d like to speak with Bier, […]
A 65-year-old retired doorman in Queens is heading to prison next month — not for killing his attacker in self-defense, but for possessing the unlicensed firearm that saved his life. lead , In a recent op-ed titled He Held the Door for Years, But the Court Slammed One on Him, Cato scholar Mike Fox details how American juries have strayed from the founders’ intent of being the community’s conscience, in part writing: , “We have replaced community conscience with […]
As countries across the world experience a resurgence in nuclear energy projects, the questions of where and how to dispose of nuclear waste remain as politically fraught as ever. The United States, for instance, has indefinitely stalled its only long-term underground nuclear waste repository. Scientists are using both modeling and experimental methods to study the effects of underground nuclear waste disposal and ultimately, they hope, build public trust in the decision-making process. New research from scientists at MIT, […]
