When equipped with hidden layers, deep neural networks can accomplish nonlinear feats that are difficult even with sophisticated mathematics.
To efficiently analyze a firehose of data, scientists first have to break big numbers into bits.
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?
The real-world version of the famous “traveling salesman problem” finally gets a good-enough solution.
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.
