BingoCGN, a scalable and efficient graph neural network accelerator that enables inference of real-time, large-scale graphs through graph partitioning, has been developed by researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan. This breakthrough framework utilizes an innovative cross-partition message quantization technique and a novel training algorithm to significantly reduce memory demands and increase computational and energy efficiency.BingoCGN, a scalable and efficient graph neural network accelerator that enables inference of real-time, large-scale graphs through graph partitioning, has been developed by researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan.

Images generated by artificial intelligence (AI) are often almost indistinguishable from real images to the human eye. Watermarks—visible or invisible markers embedded in image files—may be the key to verifying whether an image was generated by AI. So-called semantic watermarks, which are embedded deep within the image generation process itself, are considered to be especially robust and hard to remove.Images generated by artificial intelligence (AI) are often almost indistinguishable from real images to the human eye.

While there’s been much negative discussion about AI, including about the possibility that it will take over the world, the public is also being bombarded with positive messages about the technology, and what it can do.While there’s been much negative discussion about AI, including about the possibility that it will take over the world, the public is also being bombarded with positive messages about the technology, and what it can do.Business[#item_full_content]

Artificial intelligence (AI) is quietly transforming how cities generate, store and distribute energy, acting as the invisible conductor that orchestrates cleaner, smarter and more resilient cities.Artificial intelligence (AI) is quietly transforming how cities generate, store and distribute energy, acting as the invisible conductor that orchestrates cleaner, smarter and more resilient cities.Energy & Green Tech[#item_full_content]
AllSpice’s platform sits between existing workflow software. It allows hardware teams to collaborate on the types of documents they traditionally work in — documents that don’t easily translate over Slack and email — like PCB files and electronic CAD files, both of which are used to design circuit boards. AllSpice’s platform has landed customers such as Blue Origin and Bose and just raised a $15 million Series A round.AllSpice’s platform sits between existing workflow software.
