Quantum computers promise significantly shorter computing times for complex problems. But there are still only a few quantum computers worldwide with a limited number of so-called qubits. However, quantum computer algorithms can already run on conventional servers that simulate a quantum computer. A team has succeeded in calculating the electron orbitals and their dynamic development …

Picture two teams squaring off on a football field. The players can cooperate to achieve an objective, and compete against other players with conflicting interests. That’s how the game works.

Before a machine-learning model can complete a task, such as identifying cancer in medical images, the model must be trained. Training image classification models typically involves showing the model millions of example images gathered into a massive dataset.

A group of researchers on the Meta Fundamental AI Research Diplomacy Team (FAIR), affiliated with multiple institutions in the U.S., has added a negotiation component to its Diplomacy-playing AI system. In a paper published in the journal Science, the team describes the work that went into building the system and its performance when pitted against …
