A Cybersecurity Professor Disappeared Amid an FBI Search. His Family Is ‘Determined to Fight’
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.
AI tool to better assess Parkinson’s disease, other movement disorders
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.
Over-training large language models may make them harder to fine-tune
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 …

Beyond ARC-AGI: GAIA and the search for a real intelligence benchmark
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 …

FTC v. Meta Trial: The Future of Instagram and WhatsApp Is at Stake
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.
Dynamic model can generate realistic human motions and edit existing ones
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 …
