Researchers at Skoltech have presented new generalized LDPC codes (Generalized Low-Density Parity-Check Codes, GLDPC)—a practical solution that operates faster than modern solutions from the 5G standard while maintaining the original reliability of data transmission. Such codes are particularly important for designing next-generation wireless systems, where minimizing latency and ensuring reliable communication are among the key technological challenges.Researchers at Skoltech have presented new generalized LDPC codes (Generalized Low-Density Parity-Check Codes, GLDPC)—a practical solution that operates faster than modern solutions from the 5G standard while maintaining the original reliability of data transmission.

Synthetic data are artificially generated by algorithms to mimic the statistical properties of actual data, without containing any information from real-world sources. While concrete numbers are hard to pin down, some estimates suggest that more than 60% of data used for AI applications in 2024 was synthetic, and this figure is expected to grow across industries.Synthetic data are artificially generated by algorithms to mimic the statistical properties of actual data, without containing any information from real-world sources.

Professional sports teams pour millions of dollars into data analytics, using advanced tracking systems to study every sprint, pass, and decision on the field. The results of that analysis, however, are industry secrets, making many sports difficult for researchers to study.Professional sports teams pour millions of dollars into data analytics, using advanced tracking systems to study every sprint, pass, and decision on the field.

In everyday life, it’s a no-brainer to be able to grab a cup of coffee from the table. Multiple sensory inputs such as sight (seeing how far away the cup is) and touch are combined in real-time. However, recreating this in artificial intelligence (AI) is not quite as easy.In everyday life, it’s a no-brainer to be able to grab a cup of coffee from the table.
