A team of AI researchers and computer scientists at the University of Alberta has found that current artificial networks used with deep-learning systems lose their ability to learn during extended training on new data. In their study, reported in the journal Nature, the group found a way to overcome these problems with plasticity in both supervised and reinforcement learning AI systems, allowing them to continue to learn.A team of AI researchers and computer scientists at the University of Alberta has found that current artificial networks used with deep-learning systems lose their ability to learn during extended training on new data.

Trace Machina is building a simulation testing platform to update safety-critical applications
When a faulty CrowdStrike update brought down airports, 911 call centers and hospitals last month, it showed how a defective update could impact critical infrastructure. Now imagine that this update was for something like an autonomous vehicle or a warehouse robot, and the implications of a bad update could be even more severe. Trace Machina, […]
