After Tesla and OpenAI, Andrej Karpathy’s startup aims to apply AI assistants to education

Andrej Karpathy, former head of AI at Tesla and researcher at OpenAI, is launching Eureka Labs, an “AI native” education platform. In tech speak, that usually means built from the ground up with AI at its core. And while Eureka Labs’s AI ambitions are lofty, the company is starting with a more traditional approach to […]

Software in science is ubiquitous yet overlooked, researchers sayon July 16, 2024 at 3:39 pm
0

Software is omnipresent in science, and yet it is overlooked everywhere. At a time when scientists (and many others) are talking about code, algorithms or artificial intelligence, software appears in the discourse as just another semantic subtlety. Many facets of software, such as questions about user licenses or file formats, are not part of the definition of code or algorithm.Software is omnipresent in science, and yet it is overlooked everywhere.

‘Extreme boosting’ AI model can cut through social media ‘noise’
0

Social media offers a treasure trove of data for researchers to understand how organizations and individuals use the technology to communicate with and grow their base of followers. However, manually analyzing the content can be time consuming or, in some cases, simply impossible due to the volume of data. While machine-learning models can help, they present their own set of challenges.Social media offers a treasure trove of data for researchers to understand how organizations and individuals use the technology to communicate with and grow their base of followers.

Campus wants to crack the code to get community college to work for everyone

Community colleges aren’t immune from the current reckoning higher education is facing. Student enrollment is declining while institutions keep raising tuition prices which can prevent students from finishing their programs. Clearly, it’s time for the industry to try something new. Tade Oyerinde thinks startups can help. Oyerinde is the founder and CEO at Campus, a […]

Sorry, I didn’t get that: Evaluating usability issues with AI-assisted smart speakers
0

With the rapid development of AI technology, voice-controlled smart speakers are becoming increasingly popular due to their convenience and ability to control compatible home devices. Despite the rise in use, smart speakers often do not have screens and little-to-none of the visual information feedback common to manually operated devices. This aspect complicates their usability, thus providing room for research and subsequent improvement.With the rapid development of AI technology, voice-controlled smart speakers are becoming increasingly popular due to their convenience and ability to control compatible home devices.

A team of engineers and roboticists at EPFL in Switzerland has designed and built a gliding drone that can use its wings as a gripping tool to perch on a vertical object. In their project, reported in the journal Communications Engineering, the group created a drone inspired by animals such as bats that can land on vertical poles and tree limbs.A team of engineers and roboticists at EPFL in Switzerland has designed and built a gliding drone that can use its wings as a gripping tool to perch on a vertical object.
