DARPA wants to have artificial intelligence have the capability of explaining and helping humans to trace the conclusions, decisions and reasoning of the AI. Dramatic success in machine learning has led to an explosion of new AI capabilities. Continued advances promise to produce autonomous systems that perceive, learn, decide, and act on their own. These …
Analysis of thousands of samples reveals that the compound becomes superconducting at an unusually high temperature because local electron pairs form a “superfluid” that flows without resistance. Physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have an explanation for why the temperature at which cuprates become superconducting is so high. After growing …
The U.S. Army’s top technology official, Mary Miller, described her pursuit of a future force that includes high-powered lasers, self sustaining combat outposts, and autonomous deep learning machines.
