Learn how to become an effective engineer with continual learning LLMs The post How to Maximize Agentic Memory for Continual Learning appeared first on Towards Data Science.
In March of 2020, I published an essay warning both the public and our policymakers against overreacting to the COVID threat. We overreact, I argued, in times of “epistemic uncertainty,” when we do not know enough about a threat we face and are unclear about our best response. Continue Reading…
Everyone talks about LLMs—but today’s AI ecosystem is far bigger than just language models. Behind the scenes, a whole family of specialized architectures is quietly transforming how machines see, plan, act, segment, represent concepts, and even run efficiently on small devices. Each of these models solves a different part of the intelligence puzzle, and together they’re shaping the next generation of AI systems. In this article, we’ll explore the five major players: Large Language Models (LLMs), Vision-Language Models […]

The artificial intelligence models that turn text into images are also useful for generating new materials. Over the last few years, generative materials models from companies like Google, Microsoft, and Meta have drawn on their training data to help researchers design tens of millions of new materials. But when it comes to designing materials with exotic quantum properties like superconductivity or unique magnetic states, those models struggle. That’s too bad, because humans could use the help. For example, […]
The European Union Council pushed for a dangerous plan to scan encrypted messages, and once again, people around the world loudly called out the risks, leading to the current Danish presidency to withdraw the plan. EFF has strongly opposed Chat Control since it was first introduced in 2022. The zombie proposal comes back time and time again, and time and time again, it’s been shot down because there’s no public support. The fight is delayed, but not over. […]
Disney and OpenAI have reached an agreement to bring more than 200 Disney, Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars characters to Sora for fan-inspired short videos. The agreement emphasizes responsible AI in entertainment and includes Disney’s company-wide use of ChatGPT Enterprise and the OpenAI API.
Every year, global health experts are faced with a high-stakes decision: Which influenza strains should go into the next seasonal vaccine? The choice must be made months in advance, long before flu season even begins, and it can often feel like a race against the clock. If the selected strains match those that circulate, the vaccine will likely be highly effective. But if the prediction is off, protection can drop significantly, leading to (potentially preventable) illness and strain […]
Author(s): VARUN MISHRA Originally published on Towards AI. Unveiling the BLEU Score: Your Guide to Judging Machine Translation Quality Machine translation has come a long way, from clunky rule-based systems to sleek neural models like Transformers. But how do we know if a machine’s translation is any good? Enter the BLEU score — a go-to metric for evaluating machine translation quality. Short for Bilingual Evaluation Understudy, BLEU is like a judge that compares a machine’s output to human […]
