A recent report produced by the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), which outlines the energy use of data centers from 2014 to 2028, estimates that data center load growth has tripled over the past decade and is projected to double or triple by 2028.A recent report produced by the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), which outlines the energy use of data centers from 2014 to 2028, estimates that data center load growth has tripled over the past decade and is projected to double or triple by 2028.[#item_full_content]

Filling gaps in data sets or identifying outliers—that’s the domain of the machine learning algorithm TabPFN, developed by a team led by Prof. Dr. Frank Hutter from the University of Freiburg. This artificial intelligence (AI) uses learning methods inspired by large language models. TabPFN learns causal relationships from synthetic data and is therefore more likely to make correct predictions than the standard algorithms that have been used up to now.Filling gaps in data sets or identifying outliers—that’s the domain of the machine learning algorithm TabPFN, developed by a team led by Prof. Dr. Frank Hutter from the University of Freiburg.

Whether you’re describing the sound of your faulty car engine or meowing like your neighbor’s cat, imitating sounds with your voice can be a helpful way to relay a concept when words don’t do the trick.Whether you’re describing the sound of your faulty car engine or meowing like your neighbor’s cat, imitating sounds with your voice can be a helpful way to relay a concept when words don’t do the trick.[#item_full_content]

AI tools are increasingly being used to track and monitor us both online and in-person, yet their effectiveness comes with big risks. Computer scientists at the Oxford Internet Institute, Imperial College London, and UCLouvain have developed a new mathematical model which could help people better understand the risks posed by AI and assist regulators in protecting peoples’ privacy.AI tools are increasingly being used to track and monitor us both online and in-person, yet their effectiveness comes with big risks.

The rise of AI, graphic processing, combinatorial optimization and other data-intensive applications has resulted in data-processing bottlenecks, as ever greater amounts of data must be shuttled back and forth between the memory and compute elements in a computer. The physical distance is small, but the process can occur billions of times per second. Inevitably, the energy and time required to move so much data adds up. In response, computer engineers are designing specialized hardware accelerators with innovative architectures to improve the performance of such applications.The rise of AI, graphic processing, combinatorial optimization and other data-intensive applications has resulted in data-processing bottlenecks, as ever greater amounts of data must be shuttled back and forth between the memory and compute elements in a computer.

Among the marvels of the human brain is its ability to generalize. We see an object, like a chair, and we know it’s a chair, even when it’s a slightly different shape, or it’s found in an unexpected place or in a dimly lit environment.Among the marvels of the human brain is its ability to generalize.

Processor type, IP address, browser in use, installed fonts—by collecting these and other characteristics of browser settings and the underlying operating system, it is possible to create a highly detailed and, in some cases, even unique profile of users. This phenomenon is known as browser fingerprinting.Processor type, IP address, browser in use, installed fonts—by collecting these and other characteristics of browser settings and the underlying operating system, it is possible to create a highly detailed and, in some cases, even unique profile of users.

Researchers are aiming to bring the magic of playing music in person to the virtual world. The Joint Active Music Sessions (JAMS) platform, created at the University of Birmingham, uses avatars created by individual musicians and shared with fellow musicians to create virtual concerts, practice sessions, or enhance music teaching.Researchers are aiming to bring the magic of playing music in person to the virtual world.
