Optimizing Memory Usage in PyTorch Models
Even though more than 40% of businesses say they’re pleased with AI, many are unhappy with out-of-the-box solutions, resulting in a need for local AI solutions and their subsequent tweaking with PyTorch.
Compact Neural TTS Voices for Accessibility
Contemporary text-to-speech solutions for accessibility applications can typically be classified into two categories: (i) device-based statistical parametric speech synthesis (SPSS) or unit selection (USEL) and (ii) cloud-based neural TTS. SPSS and USEL offer low latency and low disk footprint at the expense of naturalness and audio quality. Cloud-based neural TTS systems provide significantly better audio …

There’s Now a Barbie-Themed G-Shock Watch, and We Want In
Is Barbiecore still a thing? Casio is betting it is.
New training approach could help AI agents perform better in uncertain conditions
AI agents trained in simulations that differ from the environments where they are deployed sometimes perform better than agents trained and deployed in the same environment, research shows.
Integrated modeling approach decodes solid-state battery microstructures for better performance
Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have developed a novel, integrated modeling approach to identify and improve key interface and microstructural features in complex materials typically used for advanced batteries. The work helped unravel the relationship between material microstructure and key properties and better predict how those properties affect battery operation, paving the way …

Trump’s Plan for Elon Musk to Bring the ‘Stranded’ Astronauts Home ASAP Is a Headache for NASA
Bringing forward the return of Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams would leave just a single astronaut operating the US portion of the International Space Station.
Towards a new generation of human-inspired language models
Can a computer learn a language the way a child does? A recent study sheds new light on this question. The researchers advocate for a fundamental revision of how artificial intelligence acquires and processes language.
