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]
The Man Behind The Neural Network Curtains: Yep, It’s Still Computer Programs Again, this is going to be a simplification, but it will be an instructive one nonetheless. An artificial neural network is a series of math operations (more specifically, statistics), but the math in each little “cell” in the … [continued]
Computers Only Run Programs While the programs are getting far more complex over time, they’re still just programs. Like was said in Short Circuit, “It doesn’t get sad. It doesn’t get happy. It just runs programs!” Computers can only run what’s in the program, and the computer can only process … [continued]
