At the European Health Summit in Brussels, Greg Corrado, Distinguished Scientist at Google, released a new report authored by Implement Consulting Group and commissioned…
EFF has submitted its formal comment to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) opposing a set of proposed rules that would sharply restrict the public’s ability to challenge wrongly granted patents. These rules would make inter partes review (IPR)—the main tool Congress created to fix improperly granted patents—unavailable in most of the situations where it’s needed most. If adopted, they would give patent trolls exactly what they want: a way to keep questionable patents alive and out […]
Computer-Aided Design (CAD) is the go-to method for designing most of today’s physical products. Engineers use CAD to turn 2D sketches into 3D models that they can then test and refine before sending a final version to a production line. But the software is notoriously complicated to learn, with thousands of commands to choose from. To be truly proficient in the software takes a huge amount of time and practice. MIT engineers are looking to ease CAD’s learning […]
Author(s): Utkarsh Mittal Originally published on Towards AI. Introduction XGBoost (Extreme Gradient Boosting) has become the go-to algorithm for winning machine learning competitions and solving real-world prediction problems. But what makes it so powerful? In this comprehensive tutorial, we’ll unpack the mathematical foundations and practical mechanisms that make XGBoost superior to traditional gradient boosting methods. This tutorial assumes you have basic knowledge of decision trees and machine learning concepts. We’ll walk through the algorithm step-by-step with visual examples […]
Disney is accusing the tech giant of unauthorized distribution of its copyrighted characters without permission via Gemini AI.
MIT engineers have developed a printable aluminum alloy that can withstand high temperatures and is five times stronger than traditionally manufactured aluminum. The new printable metal is made from a mix of aluminum and other elements that the team identified using a combination of simulations and machine learning, which significantly pruned the number of possible combinations of materials to search through. While traditional methods would require simulating over 1 million possible combinations of materials, the team’s new machine […]
A conversation the CPG leader Poul Weihrauch about sustainability and profitability.
Mistral AI has introduced Devstral 2, a next generation coding model family for software engineering agents, together with Mistral Vibe CLI, an open source command line coding assistant that runs inside the terminal or IDEs that support the Agent Communication Protocol. https://mistral.ai/news/devstral-2-vibe-cli Devstral 2 and Devstral Small 2, model sizes, context and benchmarks Devstral 2 is a 123B parameter dense transformer with a 256K token context window. It reaches 72.2 percent on SWE-bench Verified, which places it among […]
