Thrills and spills from a fold-up bike? We couldn’t believe it either. Read more

This story is from The Algorithm, our weekly newsletter on AI. To get it in your inbox first, sign up here. Welcome back to The Algorithm! This week we’re going to talk about OpenAI’s impressive new reasoning model, called o1. I want to illustrate why it’s such a big deal with an example from my wedding… Read more

A significant challenge in text-to-speech (TTS) systems is the computational inefficiency of the Monotonic Alignment Search (MAS) algorithm, which is responsible for estimating alignments between text and speech sequences. MAS faces high time complexity, particularly when dealing with large inputs. The complexity is O(T×S), where T is the text length and S is the speech… Read more

Prior research on Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrated significant advancements in fluency and accuracy across various tasks, influencing sectors like healthcare and education. This progress sparked investigations into LLMs’ language understanding capabilities and associated risks. Hallucinations, defined as plausible but incorrect information generated by models, emerged as a central concern. Studies explored whether these errors… Read more

AI assistants have the drawback of being rigid, pre-programmed for specific tasks, and in need of more flexibility. The limited utility of these systems stems from their inability to learn and adapt as they are used. Some AI frameworks include hidden features and processes that are difficult for users to access or modify. This lack… Read more

Cognitive neuroscience studies how the brain processes complex information, particularly language. Researchers are interested in understanding how the brain transforms low-level stimuli, like sounds or words, into higher-order concepts and ideas. One important area of this research is comparing the brain’s language processing mechanisms to those of artificial neural networks, especially large language models (LLMs).… Read more

If you’re not ready to say goodbye to Burning Man’s vibes—or if you’re looking for “Burning Man Light”—you can attend one of many regional burns around the world. Read more

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has long been focused on developing systems that can store and manage vast amounts of information and update that knowledge efficiently. Traditionally, symbolic systems such as Knowledge Graphs (KGs) have been used for knowledge representation, offering accuracy and clarity. These graphs map entities and their relationships in a structured form, which is… Read more

In an exciting move that underscores its commitment to redefining workplace productivity, Microsoft has unveiled Copilot Agents—a new feature within Copilot Studio that allows businesses to build custom AI-powered assistants. These Copilot Agents are integrated into the familiar ecosystem of Microsoft 365 apps and tools, aiming to supercharge business operations by automating repetitive tasks, streamlining… Read more

Con l’avvio, nel mese di agosto, della Piattaforma Informatica per la “presentazione delle comunicazioni preventive dirette alla prenotazione del credito d’imposta Transizione 5.0”, si è aperta l’attuazione del Piano del Governo italiano che stanzia 6,3 miliardi di euro (dal programma RePower EU) alle imprese per progetti a sostegno delle transizioni “gemelle” “digitale” ed “ecologica”. Si… Read more
