Q-Star: OpenAI’s Exploration of Q-Learning in Pursuit of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) This article is based on a Reuters news article from 2023-11-22 titled OpenAI Researchers Warned Board of AI Breakthrough Ahead of CEO Ouster Q-learning, a cornerstone in artificial intelligence, is integral to reinforcement learning. This model-free algorithm aims to discern the value of …
Posted by Tapio Schneider, Visiting Researcher, and Yi-fan Chen, Engineering Lead, Google Research Today’s climate models successfully capture broad global warming trends. However, because of uncertainties about processes that are small in scale yet globally important, such as clouds and ocean turbulence, these models’ predictions of upcoming climate changes are not very accurate in detail. …

This is the first “cooking show”-style video in the Building with Palantir AIP series, where Palantir engineers and architects will take you through how to build end-to-end workflows using Palantir’s AI Platform. This first installment demonstrates how AIP enables developers to go from unstructured data to …
Cloud optimization is essential as organizations look to accelerate business outcomes and unlock the value of their data. At its core, cloud optimization is the process of correctly selecting and assigning the right resources to a workload or application. But cloud optimization is also a lifecycle process that balances performance, compliance and cost to achieve efficiency. …

This is a guest post by A.K Roy from Qualcomm AI. Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) DL2q instances, powered by Qualcomm AI 100 Standard accelerators, can be used to cost-efficiently deploy deep learning (DL) workloads in the cloud. They can also be used to develop and validate performance and accuracy of DL workloads that …
Posted by Dave Hawkey, Software Engineer, Google Research Two years ago we announced Project Guideline, a collaboration between Google Research and Guiding Eyes for the Blind that enabled people with visual impairments (e.g., blindness and low-vision) to walk, jog, and run independently. Using only a Google Pixel phone and headphones, Project Guideline leverages on-device machine …

Today, the NHS has chosen Palantir, supported by a group of companies including Accenture, PwC, NECS and Carnall Farrar, to help deliver a Federated Data Platform (FDP). AWS and Microsoft will provide cloud platform services. The FDP will improve patient care by bringing together the information needed to plan and deliver care, and reduce the …
by Jun He, Yingyi Zhang, and Pawan Dixit Incremental processing is an approach to process new or changed data in workflows. The key advantage is that it only incrementally processes data that are newly added or updated to a dataset, instead of re-processing the complete dataset. This not only reduces the cost of compute resources but …
