A property of functions is called location-invariant (or symmetric) if it can be characterized in terms of the frequencies in which each value occurs in the function, regardless of the locations in which each value occurs. It is known that the (query) complexity of testing location-invariant properties of functions is closely related to the (sample) …
Knowledge bases that ground agents and generative AI applications over your enterprise data are hard to build at scale. Teams typically stitch together connectors, parsers, vector stores, knowledge graphs, and retrieval logic, then operationalize all of it for production. Each piece brings its own challenges. You must decide which data sources to connect and how …

For the second consecutive year, Google has been named a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Conversational AI Platforms. Google received the furthest and highest in positioning on the “Vision” and “Execution” axes and is now ranked #1 in three out of four Critical Capabilities Use Cases. We believe this recognition reflects our continued …
Across 107 enterprises, AI infrastructure spending is accelerating well ahead of the ability to see or steer its economics. Most organizations run their AI on a familiar base of hyperscalers and model-provider APIs, yet the next dollar is aimed at specialized compute almost none of them use today; a majority intend to switch or add …
The defense secretary’s idea of administering testosterone therapy to members of the US Armed Forces reveals little understanding of the complexity of hormones.
So-called deepfakes, that is, images and videos generated with the help of artificial intelligence, are becoming increasingly difficult to detect. An international research team from the University of Tokyo and the Max Planck Institute for Informatics in Saarbrücken, Germany, has developed a method that identifies manipulated videos more reliably than previous approaches—not by searching for …

In this article, you will learn how scikit-ollama bridges the scikit-learn interface with locally running Ollama models to perform zero-shot text classification; no cloud API…
Visual generative models (e.g., diffusion models) typically operate in compressed latent spaces to balance training efficiency and sample quality. In parallel, there has been growing interest in leveraging high-quality pre-trained visual representations—either by aligning them inside VAEs or directly within the generative model. However, adapting such representations remains challenging due to fundamental mismatches between understanding-oriented …

Document processing in real estate is complex and highly manual, impacting critical business decisions at scale, making it ripe for automation. Built Technologies, a real estate finance software provider, processes over $500B in real estate projects. The company deployed an AI-powered document processing engine on Amazon Bedrock and the AWS Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) Accelerator. …
Editor’s note: Today we hear from IDC on the results of its 2026 AI in Networking Special Report Survey exploring the enterprises’ concerns about networking infrastructure to support the rise of agentic AI in their organizations. The survey was sponsored by Google Cloud. Enterprises are moving quickly on AI pilots, but the move from pilot …
