Abstract: Influence maximization is one of the important problems in network science, data mining, and social media analysis. It focuses on identifying the most influential individuals (or nodes) in a ...
Music recommendation algorithms were supposed to help us cut through the noise, but they just served us up slop. If you buy something from a Verge link, Vox Media may earn a commission. See our ...
As a journalist who covers AI, I hear from countless people who seem utterly convinced that ChatGPT, Claude, or some other chatbot has achieved “sentience.” Or “consciousness.” Or—my personal favorite ...
An artificial-intelligence algorithm that discovers its own way to learn achieves state-of-the-art performance, including on some tasks it had never encountered before. Joel Lehman is at Lila Sciences ...
Imagine a town with two widget merchants. Customers prefer cheaper widgets, so the merchants must compete to set the lowest price. Unhappy with their meager profits, they meet one night in a ...
Designed to accelerate advances in medicine and other fields, the tech giant’s quantum algorithm runs 13,000 times as fast as software written for a traditional supercomputer. A quantum computer at ...
Nearly six months after the former couple welcomed their baby girl Saga Blade, MGK continues to praise his daughter’s mom, noting that there is no one he’d rather have on his team for his second ...
Abstract: This paper introduces a deep reinforcement learning-based block coordinate descent (DRL-based BCD) algorithm to address the nonconvex weighted sum-rate maximization (WSRM) problem with a ...
Patent applications on artificial intelligence and machine learning have soared in recent years, yet legal guidance on the patentability of AI and machine learning algorithms remains scarce. The US ...
Powerful and practical machine learning tools for machine vision applications are already available to everyone, even if you’re not a data scientist. It might come as a bit of a surprise, but machine ...
When it comes to teaching math, a debate has persisted for decades: How, and to what degree, should algorithms be a focus of learning math? The step-by-step procedures are among the most debated ...
