What comes after Transformers? Google Research is proposing a new way to give sequence models usable long term memory with Titans and MIRAS, while keeping training parallel and inference close to linear. Titans is a concrete architecture that adds a deep neural memory to a Transformer style backbone. MIRAS is a general framework that views most modern sequence models as instances of online optimization over an associative memory. Why Titans and MIRAS? Standard Transformers use attention over a […]

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, […]

Axon Enterprise Inc. is working with a Canadian police department to test the addition of face recognition technology (FRT) to its body-worn cameras (BWCs). This is an alarming development in government surveillance that should put communities everywhere on alert.  As many as 50 officers from the Edmonton Police Department (EPD) will begin using these FRT-enabled BWCs today as part of a proof-of-concept experiment. EPD is the first police department in the world to use these Axon devices, according […]

Editor’s note: This article, originally published on Nov. 15, 2023, has been updated. To understand the latest advancements in generative AI, imagine a courtroom. Judges hear and decide cases based on their general understanding of the law. Sometimes a case — like a malpractice suit or a labor dispute — requires special expertise, so judges send court clerks to a law library, looking for precedents and specific cases they can cite. Like a good judge, large language models […]
