Can AI build a machine that draws a heart? What automated mechanism design could mean for mechanical engineering

Can you design a mechanism that will trace out the shape of a heart? How about the shape of a moon, or a star? Mechanism design—the art of assembling linkages and joints to create machines with prescribed motion—is one of the quintessential activities of mechanical engineers, but has resisted automation for almost two centuries.

The Slingshot Mechanism: An Empirical Study of Adaptive Optimizers and the Grokking Phenomenon

This paper was accepted to the “Has it Trained Yet?” (HITY) workshop at NeurIPS 2022. The grokking phenomenon as reported by Power et al., refers to a regime where a long period of overfitting is followed by a seemingly sudden transition to perfect generalization. In this paper, we attempt to…

AI’s memory-forming mechanism found to be strikingly similar to that of the brain

An interdisciplinary team consisting of researchers from the Center for Cognition and Sociality and the Data Science Group within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) revealed a striking similarity between the memory processing of artificial intelligence (AI) models and the hippocampus of the human brain. This new finding provides a…

Universally Instance-Optimal Mechanisms for Private Statistical Estimation

We consider the problem of instance-optimal statistical estimation under the constraint of differential privacy where mechanisms must adapt to the difficulty of the input dataset. We prove a new instance specific lower bound using a new divergence and show it characterizes the local minimax optimal rates for private statistical estimation.…
