Machine Learning ML offers significant potential for accelerating the solution of partial differential equations (PDEs), a critical area in computational physics. The aim is to generate accurate PDE solutions faster than traditional numerical methods. While ML shows promise, concerns about reproducibility in ML-based science are growing. Issues like data leakage, weak baselines, and insufficient validation… Read more

In the age of data-driven artificial intelligence, LLMs like GPT-3 and BERT require vast amounts of well-structured data from diverse sources to improve performance across various applications. However, manually curating these datasets from the web is labor-intensive, inefficient, and often unscalable, creating a significant hurdle for developers aiming to acquire huge data. Traditional web crawlers… Read more

The intersection of contract law, artificial intelligence (AI), and smart contracts tells a fascinating yet complex story. As technology takes on a more prominent role in transactions and decision-making, it raises crucial questions about how foundational legal concepts like offer, acceptance, and intent apply. With the growing use of AI, concerns regarding accountability, enforceability, and… Read more
