Large language models (LLMs) just keep getting better. In just about two years since OpenAI jolted the news cycle with the introduction of ChatGPT, we’ve already seen the launch and subsequent upgrades of dozens of competing models. From Llama3.1 to Gemini to Claude3.5 to GPT-o1, the list keeps growing, along with a legion of new… Read more

Neural networks (NNs) remarkably transform high-dimensional data into compact, lower-dimensional latent spaces. While researchers traditionally focus on model outputs like classification or generation, understanding the internal representation geometry has emerged as a critical area of investigation. These internal representations offer profound insights into neural network functionality, enabling researchers to repurpose learned features for downstream tasks… Read more

In an age where data is bought and sold as a commodity, true privacy is rare. But homomorphic encryption can protect your data completely, so no one, not even the servers used to process it, can read your information. Here’s how it works: A device encrypts data, sends it out for processing, computations are done… Read more

Transformers have been the foundation of large language models (LLMs), and recently, their application has expanded to search problems in graphs, a foundational domain in computational logic, planning, and AI. Graph search is integral to solving tasks requiring systematically exploring nodes and edges to find connections or paths. Despite transformers’ apparent adaptability, their ability to… Read more

In an industry as competitive as machine learning (ML), job position candidates need a well-structured portfolio and access to all the avenues to gain industry exposure. Read more

On Monday, police arrested Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old app developer, in connection with the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Online reaction to his apprehension reveals a new form of fandom. Read more

When Meta announced last week that it’s looking for a nuclear energy developer to power its future AI operations, it joined a growing cadre of tech companies all suddenly repeating the same refrain: We need more power—preferably carbon-free—and lots of it. Electricity demand in the United States is expected to grow more than 15 percent… Read more
