Digital photo frames such as the Aura will lose the ability to auto-update Google Photos albums later this month. Google is changing the way apps can access Google Photos libraries, which is creating problems for owners of some digital photo frames. While the change is designed to make your photo library more private, it’s also… Read more

Despite significant progress in natural language processing, many AI systems continue to encounter difficulties with advanced reasoning, especially when faced with complex mathematical problems and intricate coding tasks. Current large language models sometimes struggle with multi-step logic and may not generalize well beyond their training data. Moreover, limitations in common-sense reasoning often hinder their broader… Read more

The Senate voted on Wednesday to strip a key financial regulator of its ability to monitor digital platforms like X, as the social media company’s owner, Elon Musk, has become the public face of the government office seeking to shrink the agency’s workforce.  The resolution, which still requires House approval, would effectively moot a rule… Read more

Deep Neural Network (DNN) training has experienced unprecedented growth with the rise of large language models (LLMs) and generative AI. The effectiveness of these models directly correlates with increasing their size, a development made possible by advances in GPU technology and frameworks like PyTorch and TensorFlow. However, training neural networks with billions of parameters presents… Read more

Feature selection plays a crucial role in statistical learning by helping models focus on the most relevant predictors while reducing complexity and enhancing interpretability. Lasso regression has gained prominence among various methods because of feature selection while simultaneously building a predictive model. It achieves this by enforcing sparsity through an optimization process that penalizes large… Read more

The Trump administration may soon demand the social media accounts of people applying for green cards, US citizenship, and asylum or refugee status. US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) — the federal agency that oversees legal migration, proposed the new policy in the Federal Register this week — calling this information “necessary for a rigorous… Read more

While DeepSeek-R1 operates with 671 billion parameters, QwQ-32B achieves comparable performance with a much smaller footprint.Read More Read more

Gartner arguably is the most respected IT analyst firm on the planet, so when its analysts and VPs share what they’re thinking, as they did during the company’s Data & Analytics Summit this week, it’s worth taking notice. What moves the needle for enterprise–in the field of bit data and analytics, or any realm for… Read more
