Large language models (LLMs), such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, are known to be highly effective in answering a wide range of user queries, generalizing well across many natural language processing (NLP) tasks. Recently, some studies have also been exploring the potential of these models for detecting and mitigating robotic system failures.Large language models (LLMs), such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, are known to be highly effective in answering a wide range of user queries, generalizing well across many natural language processing (NLP) tasks.

Ask a large language model (LLM) like GPT-4 to smell a rain-soaked campsite, and it’ll politely decline. Ask the same system to describe that scent to you, and it’ll wax poetic about “an air thick with anticipation” and “a scent that is both fresh and earthy,” despite having neither prior experience with rain nor a nose to help it make such observations. One possible explanation for this phenomenon is that the LLM is simply mimicking the text present in its vast training data, rather than working with any real understanding of rain or smell.Ask a large language model (LLM) like GPT-4 to smell a rain-soaked campsite, and it’ll politely decline.

Convolutional neural networks show promise for enhancing facial recognition technology

Thermal, infrared (IR), facial recognition technology has advanced apace recently. Research published in the International Journal of Information and Communication Technology, moves us another step toward a tenable system that overcomes some of the limitations of traditional visible-light systems.Thermal, infrared (IR), facial recognition technology has advanced apace recently.

Stoke Space’s initial launch plans at Cape Canaveral take shape

Stoke Space is nothing if not ambitious. The five-year-old launch startup has generated a lot of hype due to its bold plans to develop the first fully reusable rocket, with both the booster and second stage vertically returning to Earth.  Those plans got a major boost a year ago, when the U.S. Space Force awarded […]

From data breaches to widespread systemic shutdowns, cyberattacks like the 2024 Fulton County (Georgia) government attack now occur as regularly as natural disasters—and cause just as much destruction. And, like severe weather, they can be predicted thanks to a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool that analyzes social media to determine who could cause the next big cyberattack.From data breaches to widespread systemic shutdowns, cyberattacks like the 2024 Fulton County (Georgia) government attack now occur as regularly as natural disasters—and cause just as much destruction.

The effectiveness of teamwork in professional and academic environments typically depends on various factors, including communication and coordinated attention. In this context, collective attention entails the ability of team members to cooperatively focus on the task at hand, optimally dividing it into subtasks and alternating their efforts to complete it as efficiently as possible.The effectiveness of teamwork in professional and academic environments typically depends on various factors, including communication and coordinated attention.
