The US Just Greenlit High-Tech Alternatives to Animal Testing
Lab animals have long borne the brunt of drug safety trials. A new law allows drugmakers to use miniature tissue models, or organs-on-chips, instead.
A deep belief neural network based on silicon memristive synapses
While artificial intelligence (AI) models are becoming increasingly advanced, training and running these models on conventional computer hardware is very energy consuming. Engineers worldwide have thus been trying to create alternative, brain-inspired hardware that could better support the high computational load of AI systems.
Microsoft’s VALL-E can faithfully reproduce a voice after listening to a three second recording
A team of researchers at Microsoft has demonstrated a new AI system that is capable of mimicking a person’s voice after training with a recording just three seconds long. The team explains developing the new app in a paper published on the arXiv preprint server. They have also posted a webpage demonstrating the app’s capabilities.
How to use Netezza Performance Server query data in Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3)
In this example, we will demonstrate using current data within a Netezza Performance Server as a Service (NPSaaS) table combined with historical data in Parquet files to determine if flight delays have increased in 2022 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the airline travel industry. This demonstration illustrates how Netezza Performance Server …

Sparse Features Support in BigQuery
Introduction Most machine learning models require the input features to be in numerical format and if the features are in categorial format, pre-processing steps such as one-hot encoding are needed to convert them into numerical format. Converting a large number of categorical values may lead to creating sparse features, a set of features that contains …
