The Computer Scientist Who Parlays Failures Into Breakthroughs
...special graphs called expander graphs. The codes they invented became the basis for much subsequent work in coding theory, including a major recent breakthrough. While at MIT, Spielman met the...
By Exploring Virtual Worlds, AI Learns in New Ways
...but early results do suggest that embodied AI agents learn differently — and at times better — than their forebears. In one recent paper, researchers found an embodied AI agent...
Protein Blobs Linked to Alzheimer’s Affect Aging in All Cells
...brains. But a recent study by a team of Stanford University researchers suggests that protein aggregation may be a universal phenomenon in aging cells and could be involved in many...
He Dropped Out to Become a Poet. Now He’s Won a Fields Medal.
...on a number of important recent results. He proceeds just as deliberately when doing mathematics. Wang was shocked when he first witnessed it. “I have this math competition experience, that...
Neuronal Scaffolding Plays Unexpected Role in Pain
...difficult neurological disorders that are resistant to change. Recent research shows that this can indeed be done, simply by manipulating PNNs. For example, keeping an animal in complete darkness slows...
The Computer Scientist Challenging AI to Learn Better
...of a relatively recent experience — not something that happened in our childhoods — to prevent forgetting of that recent experience. Whereas in the way we do it in deep...
What Is Quantum Field Theory and Why Is It Incomplete?
...particle, the most recent being the Higgs boson, we know that associated to that is a field which underlies it, and the particles are just ripples of the field. Strogatz...
Epigenetic ‘Clocks’ Predict Animals’ True Biological Age
...recalled. Since the summer of 2017, Horvath, who until recently was an anti-aging researcher at the University of California, Los Angeles, has spent as much as 10 hours a day...
Electric Fish Genomes Reveal How Evolution Repeats Itself
...is impossible to conceive by what steps these wondrous organs have been produced” — not just once, but repeatedly. A recent paper published in Science Advances helps to unravel this...
