The evolution of robotics has long been constrained by slow and costly training methods, requiring engineers to manually teleoperate robots to collect task-specific training data. But with the launch of Aria Gen 2, a next-generation AI research platform from Meta’s Project Aria, this paradigm is shifting. By leveraging egocentric AI and first-person perception, researchers are… →
The advancement of artificial intelligence has ushered in an era where data volumes and computational requirements are growing at an impressive pace. AI training and inference workloads demand not only significant compute power but also a storage solution that can manage large-scale, concurrent data access. Traditional file systems often fall short when faced with high-throughput… →
The rapid advancement of LLMs has been driven by the belief that scaling model size and dataset volume will eventually lead to human-like intelligence. As these models transition from research prototypes to commercial products, companies focus on developing a single, general-purpose model to outperform competitors in accuracy, user adoption, and profitability. This competitive drive has… →
Sampling from probability distributions with known density functions (up to normalization) is a fundamental challenge across various scientific domains. From Bayesian uncertainty quantification to molecular dynamics and quantum physics, the ability to efficiently generate representative samples is crucial. While Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods have long been the dominant approach, they often suffer from… →
CONCLUSIONS: Arimoclomol had no significant effects on the qMRI measurements evaluated, consistent with clinical outcomes from the main trial. The qMRI measurements demonstrated both validity and responsiveness, further supporting their potential utility as biomarkers in IBM. →
BACKGROUND: There is pressing need to develop and evaluate clinically sound approaches to supporting the engagement between patients who have inherited cancer susceptibility and their relatives who may share it. Identifying and engaging patients with an inherited cancer susceptibility in the community is a potentially powerful strategy to reduce the gap in genetic risk evaluation… →
AI agents are becoming more advanced and capable of handling complex tasks across different platforms. Websites and desktop applications are intended for human use, which demands knowledge of visual arrangements, interactive components, and time-based behavior. Handling such systems requires monitoring user actions, from clicks to sophisticated drag-and-drop actions. Such challenges are difficult for AI to… →
Speech generation technology has advanced considerably in recent years, yet there remain significant challenges. Traditional text-to-speech systems often rely on datasets derived from audiobooks. While these recordings provide high-quality audio, they typically capture formal, read-aloud styles rather than the rich, varied speech patterns of everyday conversation. Real-world speech is naturally spontaneous and filled with nuances—overlapping… →
