When disasters happen—such as hurricanes, wildfires and earthquakes—every second counts. Emergency teams need to find people fast, send help and stay organized. In today’s world, one of the fastest ways to get information is through social media.When disasters happen—such as hurricanes, wildfires and earthquakes—every second counts.

Predicting whether or not companies will be successful is crucial for guiding investment decisions and designing effective economic policies. However, past research on high-growth firms—enterprises thought to be key for driving economic development—has typically shown low predictive accuracy, suggesting that growth may be largely random. Does this assumption still hold in the AI era, in which vast amounts of data and advanced analytical methods are now available? Can AI techniques overcome difficulties in predicting high-growth firms? These questions were raised in a chapter I co-authored in the De Gruyter Handbook of SME Entrepreneurship, which reviewed scientific contributions on firm growth prediction with AI methods.Predicting whether or not companies will be successful is crucial for guiding investment decisions and designing effective economic policies.

EPFL researchers have discovered key “units” in large AI models that seem to be important for language, mirroring the brain’s language system. When these specific units were turned off, the models got much worse at language tasks.EPFL researchers have discovered key “units” in large AI models that seem to be important for language, mirroring the brain’s language system.

A new study led by researchers at the University of Oxford and the Allen Institute for AI (Ai2) has found that large language models (LLMs)—the AI systems behind chatbots like ChatGPT—generalize language patterns in a surprisingly human-like way: through analogy, rather than strict grammatical rules.A new study led by researchers at the University of Oxford and the Allen Institute for AI (Ai2) has found that large language models (LLMs)—the AI systems behind chatbots like ChatGPT—generalize language patterns in a surprisingly human-like way: through analogy, rather than strict grammatical rules.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]

Research published in the International Journal of Data Science has used machine learning to predict the lifecycle of businesses operating in the digital economy. The work might help firms and policymakers understand enterprise longevity, the rise, the demise or the likelihood of acquisition, in a fast-changing technological landscape.Research published in the International Journal of Data Science has used machine learning to predict the lifecycle of businesses operating in the digital economy.

Social media is a sounding board of sorts in today’s world. It’s a place where people go to share their thoughts, opinions and feelings—and to test the reactions of others, too. In return, they receive feedback, often in real-time, as well as support and validation.Social media is a sounding board of sorts in today’s world.

A team of engineers and AI specialists at Carnegie Mellon University has developed an AI application that can design stable structures from standard LEGOs using text prompts. In their study published on the arXiv preprint server, the group repurposed a large language model (LLM) created by META to build their new system.A team of engineers and AI specialists at Carnegie Mellon University has developed an AI application that can design stable structures from standard LEGOs using text prompts.
