Renewable power sources have seen unprecedented levels of investment in recent years. But with political uncertainty clouding the future of subsidies for green energy, these technologies must begin to compete with fossil fuels on equal footing, said participants at the…
Due to the inherent ambiguity in medical images like X-rays, radiologists often use words like “may” or “likely” when describing the presence of a certain pathology, such as pneumonia. But do the words radiologists use to express their confidence level…
The process of discovering molecules that have the properties needed to create new medicines and materials is cumbersome and expensive, consuming vast computational resources and months of human labor to narrow down the enormous space of potential candidates. Large language…
Evaluating how well LLMs handle long contexts is essential, especially for retrieving specific, relevant information embedded in lengthy inputs. Many recent LLMs—such as Gemini-1.5, GPT-4, Claude-3.5, Qwen-2.5, and others—have pushed the boundaries of context length while striving to maintain strong…
In its latest ‘Agentic AI Finance & the ‘Do It For Me’ Economy’ report, Citibank explores a significant paradigm shift underway in financial services: the rise of agentic AI. Unlike conventional AI systems that rely on prompts or rule-based instructions,…
In this tutorial, we demonstrate how to harness Crawl4AI, a modern, Python‑based web crawling toolkit, to extract structured data from web pages directly within Google Colab. Leveraging the power of asyncio for asynchronous I/O, httpx for HTTP requests, and Crawl4AI’s…
Data privacy comes with a cost. There are security techniques that protect sensitive user data, like customer addresses, from attackers who may attempt to extract them from AI models — but they often make those models less accurate. MIT researchers…
As we mature from childhood, our vocabulary — as well as the ways we use it — grows, and our experiences become richer, allowing us to think, reason, and interact with others with specificity and intention. Accordingly, our word choices…
When some commuter trains arrive at the end of the line, they must travel to a switching platform to be turned around so they can depart the station later, often from a different platform than the one at which they…
Programmers can now use large language models (LLMs) to generate computer code more quickly. However, this only makes programmers’ lives easier if that code follows the rules of the programming language and doesn’t cause a computer to crash. Some methods…
