Liquid AI Is Redesigning the Neural Network
Inspired by microscopic worms, Liquid AI’s founders developed a more adaptive, less energy-hungry kind of neural network. Now the MIT spin-off is revealing several new ultraefficient models.
Listening skills bring human-like touch to robots
Researchers give robots a sense of touch by ‘listening’ to vibrations, allowing them to identify materials, understand shapes and recognize objects just like human hands. The ability to interpret the world through acoustic vibrations emanating from an object — like shaking a cup to see how much soda is left or tapping on a desk …

New tool makes songs unlearnable to generative AI
Nearly 200 years after Beethoven’s death, a team of musicians and computer scientists created a generative artificial intelligence (AI) that completed his Tenth Symphony so convincingly that music scholars could not differentiate the music originating from the AI or from the composer’s handwritten notes.
Generative AI foundation model training on Amazon SageMaker
To stay competitive, businesses across industries use foundation models (FMs) to transform their applications. Although FMs offer impressive out-of-the-box capabilities, achieving a true competitive edge often requires deep model customization through pre-training or fine-tuning. However, these approaches demand advanced AI expertise, high performance compute, fast storage access and can be prohibitively expensive for many organizations. …

Efficient Source-Free Time-Series Adaptation via Parameter Subspace Disentanglement
The growing demand for personalized and private on-device applications highlights the importance of source-free unsupervised domain adaptation (SFDA) methods, especially for time-series data, where individual differences produce large domain shifts. As sensor-embedded mobile devices become ubiquitous, optimizing SFDA methods for parameter utilization and data-sample efficiency in time-series contexts becomes crucial. Personalization in time series is …
