Reading a scientific article is one thing. Exploring the data behind it is another. Even when a research article provides access to its supporting data sets, answering a follow-up question often requires downloading files, understanding their structure and writing code.Reading a scientific article is one thing.

Imagine an artificial intelligence system that has performed reliably for months. Its recommendations are almost always right, and the employee reviewing them has learned that close scrutiny rarely changes the outcome. Then something unusual happens. The AI makes an error or can’t proceed and needs human intervention. The employee is expected to step in and remains responsible for the outcome.Imagine an artificial intelligence system that has performed reliably for months.

Large language models (LLMs), the artificial intelligence (AI) systems underpinning the functioning of ChatGPT and other conversational agents, are now widely used to source information, summarize texts and generate content for specific purposes. These models essentially generate their responses by predicting sequences of words based on the patterns they learned during previous training.Large language models (LLMs), the artificial intelligence (AI) systems underpinning the functioning of ChatGPT and other conversational agents, are now widely used to source information, summarize texts and generate content for specific purposes.

Researchers from the VUB’s Artificial Intelligence Lab and the University of Namur (UNamur) demonstrate in a new large-scale study how autonomous AI systems can spontaneously develop a functional, shared language without human intervention.Researchers from the VUB’s Artificial Intelligence Lab and the University of Namur (UNamur) demonstrate in a new large-scale study how autonomous AI systems can spontaneously develop a functional, shared language without human intervention.Computer Sciences[#item_full_content]

Clues to stress can be hidden in everyday habits such as chatting, searching and making payments on a smartphone. KAIST researchers have developed a technology that analyzes several routine behaviors repeatedly performed within apps to identify a person’s daily stress state.Clues to stress can be hidden in everyday habits such as chatting, searching and making payments on a smartphone.

Structure dictates function. Scientists are increasingly using artificial intelligence (AI) to design the arrangement of atoms in new materials with desired properties. Now, researchers at the Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo, have extended a leading generative AI model so that it designs the electronic structure of a material together with its crystal structure. The new model, named MatterGen-e⁻, is reported in npj Computational Materials.Structure dictates function.
