Large language models (LLMs) are based on the transformer architecture, a complex deep neural network whose input is a sequence of token embeddings.
Annotating regions of interest in medical images, a process known as segmentation, is often one of the first steps clinical researchers take when running a new study involving biomedical images. For instance, to determine how the size of the brain’s hippocampus changes as patients age, the scientist first outlines each hippocampus in a series of brain scans. For many structures and image types, this is often a manual process that can be extremely time-consuming, especially if the regions […]
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, […]

Author(s): AIversity Originally published on Towards AI. Your weekly breakdown of what actually mattered in artificial intelligence — without the noise. This week was pure fire — from OpenAI’s urgent “code red” scramble against Google’s Gemini 3 dominance, Anthropic’s cool-headed Claude 4.5 launch and 300K+ enterprise customers, to Meta’s blockbuster publisher deals and DeepSeek’s open-source bombshells that rival the giants at 30x lower cost.

Technology is supercharging the attack on democracy by making it easier to spy on people, block free speech, and control what we do. The Electronic Frontier Foundation’s activists, lawyers, and technologists are fighting back. Join the movement to Take Back CTRL. DONATE TODAY Join EFF and Fight Back Take Back CTRL is EFF’s new website to give you insight into the ways that technology has become the veins and arteries of rising global authoritarianism. It’s not just because […]
I watch a lot of nature documentaries. I’m not very choosy about the animals covered, whether whales, moles, lions, ants, chameleons, blowfish, or mosquitoes. I’m even fascinated by footage of bacteria under a microscope. I’m usually immersed as I sit in front of my large-screen television, so long as I learn something about the intricacies of the species filmed in vibrant colors. What do they eat and how do they avoid being eaten? What are their life expectancies, […]
