Top US lawmakers on Wednesday said efforts to pass laws governing AI were entering a higher gear and hoped to pump $32 billion into the sector to help assure US dominance.Top US lawmakers on Wednesday said efforts to pass laws governing AI were entering a higher gear and hoped to pump $32 billion into the sector to help assure US dominance.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]

Optimization algorithms are pivotal in machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) in general. For a long time, it has been widely believed that the design/configuration of optimization algorithms is a task that heavily relies on human intelligence and requires customized design for specific problems.Optimization algorithms are pivotal in machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) in general.

University of Waterloo researchers have developed a new method that can lead to significant energy savings in buildings. The team identified 28 major heat loss regions in a multi-unit residential building with the most severe ones being at wall intersections and around windows. A potential energy savings of 25% is expected if 70% of the discovered regions are fixed.University of Waterloo researchers have developed a new method that can lead to significant energy savings in buildings.

A team of researchers at Delft University of Technology has developed a drone that flies autonomously using neuromorphic image processing and control based on the workings of animal brains. Animal brains use less data and energy compared to current deep neural networks running on graphics processing units (GPUs).A team of researchers at Delft University of Technology has developed a drone that flies autonomously using neuromorphic image processing and control based on the workings of animal brains.
