Test-time aggregation strategies, such as generating and combining multiple answers, can enhance LLM performance but eventually hit diminishing returns. Refinement, where model feedback is used to improve answers iteratively, presents an alternative. However, it faces three challenges: (1) excessive refinement, which can lead to over-correction and reduced accuracy; (2) difficulty in identifying and addressing specific… Read more

There are many ways to educate your board about preparing the organization for tough times. Here are five specific areas to focus on regarding innovation and thought leadership. Innovation is critical despite economic cycles or company performance Especially in difficult times, the board may look for additional ways to improve profit margins and generally tighten… Read more

Adaptogenic drinks are having a moment, as brands embrace ingredients with claims to improve focus, energy, and productivity, without caffeine jitters. And this is only the beginning. Read more

Politicians and other leaders don’t like to brag about their green credentials. But what if a little virtue is exactly what we’re missing? Read more

Los responsables de TI se enfrentan a muchos retos, pero pocos son más desalentadores que tratar con un subordinado directo que, de un modo u otro, se ha vuelto poco fiable o negligente. Según Orla Daly, CIO del proveedor de servicios de formación Skillsoft, existen varias razones por las que un director o ejecutivo puede… Read more

In an attempt to defend itself against a ban in the US, TikTok has pointed out that other Chinese companies could be collecting as much data as it does. Read more

Sales of new electric vehicles in Germany have plummeted, dropping nearly 37% in July 2024 from the same month one year ago. One of the main reasons traces back to mid-December 2023, when the German government gave less than one week’s notice before ending its subsidy program for electric vehicles. The program had given drivers… Read more

Collaborative Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) has emerged as a powerful approach in various domains, including traffic signal control, swarm robotics, and sensor networks. However, MARL faces significant challenges due to the complex interactions between agents, which introduce non-stationarity in the environment. This non-stationarity complicates the learning process and makes it difficult for agents to adapt… Read more

One of the main challenges in cellular automata (CA) systems, particularly in Conway’s Game of Life (Life), lies in predicting their emergent behavior without explicitly knowing the underlying grid topology. Life and other CA algorithms are computationally simple, yet they generate complex and unpredictable dynamics highly sensitive to initial conditions. This unpredictability complicates the development… Read more

Federated learning (FL) is a powerful ML paradigm that enables multiple data owners to train models without centralizing their data collaboratively. This approach is particularly valuable in domains where data privacy is critical, such as healthcare, finance, and the energy sector. The core of federated learning lies in training models on decentralized data stored on… Read more
