The latest artificial intelligence systems start from zero knowledge of a game and grow to world-beating in a matter of hours. But researchers are struggling to apply these systems beyond the arcade.
The fusion of quantum computing and machine learning has become a booming research area. Can it possibly live up to its high expectations?
When equipped with hidden layers, deep neural networks can accomplish nonlinear feats that are difficult even with sophisticated mathematics.
A new version of AlphaGo needed no human instruction to figure out how to clobber the best Go player in the world — itself.
What happens when you increase the number of layers in an artificial neural network?
A new idea is helping to explain the puzzling success of today’s artificial-intelligence algorithms — and might also explain how human brains learn.
A tiny self-organized mesh full of artificial synapses recalls its experiences and can solve simple problems. Its inventors hope it points the way to devices that match the brain’s energy-efficient computing prowess.
Computer scientists are finding ways to code curiosity into intelligent machines.
