How shallow learning mechanism used by the brain can compete with deep learning Research from Bar-Ilan University suggests that the brain's wide, shallow architecture can match the classification accuracy of deep learning models. #AI #science

Training Ising Machines with Equilibrium Propagation Physical AI hardware: how to train artificial spin glasses (Ising machines) using Equilibrium Propagation. #AI #paper #hardware

Guidance: a cheat code for diffusion models An accessible explanation of Classifier-Free Guidance (CFG), the mechanism behind the "Guidance Scale" parameter found in almost all modern image generation models. #AI #machinelearning

Transformers are Multi-State RNNs Transformers can be conceptualized as infinite-state RNNs and efficiently compressed using TOVA, a policy that retains tokens based on attention scores. #AI

Two thousand years of garden urbanism in the Upper Amazon A study using Lidar reveals a vast, 2,500-year-old network of cities in the Ecuadorian Amazon, challenging the view of the rainforest as a historically pristine wilderness. #science #history

If AI Is Our Future, What Can We Learn From The Past? A reflection on the trajectory of AI, drawing parallels to the invention of the combustion engine and the standardization of time, arguing for a century-long view on ethical development. #AI

How an AI Brain With Only One Neuron Could Surpass Humans A "Folded-in-time" Deep Neural Network that simulates a complex multi-layer network using a single neuron and time-delayed feedback loops to tackle the energy inefficiency of modern AI. #AI
