The abrupt firing of Xiaofeng Wang and his wife from Indiana University last month shocked the academic community and is stoking fears that Chinese-born scholars are being targeted.
A groundbreaking open-source computer program uses artificial intelligence to analyze videos of patients with Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders. The tool, called VisionMD, helps doctors more accurately monitor subtle motor changes, improving patient care and advancing clinical research.
A small team of AI researchers from Carnegie Mellon University, Stanford University, Harvard University and Princeton University, all in the U.S., has found that if large language models are over-trained, it might make them harder to fine-tune. In their paper posted on the arXiv preprint server, the group compared the impact of different amounts of …

GUEST: Intelligence is pervasive, yet its measurement seems subjective. At best, we approximate its measure through tests and benchmarks. Think of college entrance exams: Every year, countless students sign up, memorize test-prep tricks and sometimes walk away with perfect scores. Does a single number, say a 100%, mean those who got it share the sa…Read …

The blockbuster antitrust case begins Monday. Its outcome could impact how Big Tech companies grow—but the government has a long way to go to prove its case.
When exploring their surroundings, communicating with others and expressing themselves, humans can perform a wide range of body motions. The ability to realistically replicate these motions, applying them to human and humanoid characters, could be highly valuable for the development of video games and the creation of animations, content that can be viewed using virtual …

Are we unlocking new frontiers in AI reasoning, or simply stretching the limits of token memory without meaningful improvements?Read More
An email sent by the Department of Homeland Security instructs people in the US on a temporary legal status to leave the country. But who the email actually applies to—and who actually received it—is far from clear.
Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) enable exciting LLM-integrated applications. However, as LLMs have improved, so have the attacks against them. Prompt injection attack is listed as the #1 threat by OWASP to LLM-integrated applications, where an LLM input contains a trusted prompt (instruction) and an untrusted data. The data may contain injected instructions …
Many organizations rely on multiple third-party applications and services for different aspects of their operations, such as scheduling, HR management, financial data, customer relationship management (CRM) systems, and more. However, these systems often exist in silos, requiring users to manually navigate different interfaces, switch between environments, and perform repetitive tasks, which can be time-consuming and …
