Program retrieval remains a cornerstone of software development, crucial for boosting productivity throughout the development lifecycle. Amidst diverse program retrieval models, many have ignored the disparities between natural language queries and code, resulting in a prominent semantic gap.Program retrieval remains a cornerstone of software development, crucial for boosting productivity throughout the development lifecycle.

A team of researchers at the University of Waterloo have developed a new machine-learning method that detects hate speech on social media platforms with 88% accuracy, saving employees from hundreds of hours of emotionally damaging work.A team of researchers at the University of Waterloo have developed a new machine-learning method that detects hate speech on social media platforms with 88% accuracy, saving employees from hundreds of hours of emotionally damaging work.Internet[#item_full_content]

Cambridge researchers have shown that members of the public have little trouble in learning very quickly how to use a third thumb—a controllable, prosthetic extra thumb—to pick up and manipulate objects.Cambridge researchers have shown that members of the public have little trouble in learning very quickly how to use a third thumb—a controllable, prosthetic extra thumb—to pick up and manipulate objects.[#item_full_content]

Creator fintech Slingshot raises $2.2 million

Sanil Chawla remembers the meetings he had with countless artists in college. Those creatives were looking for one thing: sustainable economic infrastructure that could help them scale rather than drown them in paperwork, filings and tracking down receipts.  Chawla thought he might have a solution and launched a music monetization platform in 2020. During the […]

Nowadays, large language models (LLMs) are extensively applied in various situations, from writing to solving complex problems. However, how to effectively interact with artificial intelligence and explore its potential requires further attention.Nowadays, large language models (LLMs) are extensively applied in various situations, from writing to solving complex problems.

Engineers at the University of Liège have taken a major step forward in the architecture of artificial neural networks by creating a new type of spiking neuron. Called the Spiking Recurrent Cell (SRC), this innovative model combines the simplicity of implementation with the ability to reproduce the dynamics of biological neurons. Add to this the energy efficiency of spiking neurons, and this new model offers exciting new prospects for neuro-inspired artificial intelligence. The work is published in the journal Neuromorphic Computing and Engineering.Engineers at the University of Liège have taken a major step forward in the architecture of artificial neural networks by creating a new type of spiking neuron.

Germany’s financial regulator ends anti-money laundering cap on N26 signups after $10M fine

After the Wirecard scandal, Germany’s financial regulator BaFin started to look more closely at young fintech startups that wanted to grow at a rapid pace — it’s better to be safe than sorry. In particular, N26, a Berlin-based banking startup that raised hundreds of millions of euros and quickly became a unicorn, has had a […]
