NREL-Developed Neural Networks Uncover New Insights Into Battery Health Resilient energy systems depend on reliable batteries. The lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries powering our world must endure the steady strain of time, charge cycles, and environmental conditions that gradually wear them out through degradation. Understanding the health of a battery can help … [continued]
AI (artificial intelligence) is everywhere these days. It’s the most popular thing to hype up, and the most popular thing to add to your product description to hype it up. In some cases, it’s really a thing and making a difference. In other cases, well, it’s simply just fluff. When … [continued]
Scientists are always on the lookout for ways to make our world a better place, and one area they’re focusing on is solar energy. One idea in this area is to make solar cells more efficient by concentrating more solar light onto them. While investigating this recently, a group of … [continued]
“Interpretability methods” seek to shed light on how machine-learning models make predictions, but researchers say to proceed with caution.
Self-driving cars have a memory problem. Cornell University researchers are trying to fix that.
In recent weeks, there have been a number of articles about the lack of progress in Tesla Full Self-Driving (FSD). Those stories have been from the Beta test drivers’ point of view. This article is from a system architect’s and system integrator’s point of view. Before the system architect can … [continued]
Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have stumbled upon an interesting problem with machine learning and image classification. This problem, if not solved, could be harmless or could be deadly, depending on what the system is being used for. Simply put, a model could look at an image and … [continued]
How is a magic socket like a living brain like a self-driving car? Find out!
We Do Have A Lot Of Guesses About Consciousness This mystery of consciousness leaves a lot of room for guessing, and sometimes even educated guessing. Materialists think that we just need to study the brain harder and that we’ll figure out what consciousness is by reducing it to matter. Unlike … [continued]
Again — Garbage In, Garbage Out I feel like Marty McFly in Back to the Future when I see this stuff. “Wait, I’ve seen this one! This is a classic!” Just like every other whizbang computer science invention, it suffers from the same weakness that we’ve seen every other “AI” … [continued]
