CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that the US EPA’s School Bus Rebate Program investments to remove very old buses from the fleets have positively affected communities. →
The rapid growth in AI model sizes has brought significant computational and environmental challenges. Deep learning models, particularly language models, have expanded considerably in recent years, demanding more resources for training and deployment. This increased demand not only raises infrastructure costs but also contributes to a growing carbon footprint, making AI less sustainable. Additionally, smaller… →
Semiconductors are essential in powering various electronic devices and driving development across telecommunications, automotive, healthcare, renewable energy, and IoT industries. In semiconductor manufacturing and design, the two main phases, FEOL and BEOL, present unique challenges. LLMs are trained on vast amounts of text data using self-supervised learning techniques that can capture rich domain knowledge.LLMs can… →
Predicting RNA 3D structures is critical for understanding its biological functions, advancing RNA-targeted drug discovery, and designing synthetic biology applications. However, RNA’s structural flexibility and the limited availability of experimentally resolved data pose challenges. Despite RNA’s importance in gene regulation, RNA-only structures represent less than 1% of the Data Bank, and traditional methods like X-ray… →
Reinforcement Learning (RL) represents a robust computational approach to decision-making formulated through the Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) framework. RL has gained prominence for its ability to address complex tasks in games, robotics, and computational language processing. RL systems are designed to learn through iterative feedback mechanisms by optimizing policies to achieve cumulative rewards. However, despite… →
CONCLUSION: [^(18)F]FDG PET/CT has better performance and cost-effectiveness than CT in determining the bone biopsy site for suspect bone metastases. →
The capability of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to enable complex long-chain reasoning that incorporates text and vision raises an even greater barrier in the realm of artificial intelligence. While text-centric reasoning tasks are being gradually advanced, multimodal tasks add additional challenges rooted in the lack of rich, comprehensive reasoning datasets and efficient training strategies.… →
Filtering, scanning, and updating data are important operations in databases, and many data structures are used to perform these operations. In real-world situations, it’s important to manage multidimensional data, and the Kd-tree and its variations are popular structures used for this purpose. Various research studies have focused on improving data structures by learning the distribution… →
