Processor made for AI speeds up genome assembly
(Nanowerk News) A hardware accelerator initially developed for artificial intelligence operations successfully speeds up the alignment of protein and DNA molecules, making the process up to 10 times faster than state-of-the-art methods.
This approach can make it more efficient to align protein sequences and DNA for genome assembly, which is a fundamental problem in computational biology.
What is an AI Hallucination?
This short video provides:
1. Definition of an AI hallucination.
2. Probability of an AI hallucination occurrence.
3. Top reasons for an AI to hallucinate.
A longer companion video on AI errors or hallucination is also posted. This video goes into more detail on hallucinations plus adds:
1. How to detect an AI hallucination.
2. How to reduce the probability of an AI hallucination.
Resourceful Guy Turns His Vacuum Into an R2-D2 Robot
Finally, he used an oscillating fan to make the droid’s domed head turn back and forth. Meanwhile, a Bluetooth speaker was inserted in the droid’s body to play droid sounds as the robot moves.
Since he could not faithfully recreate R2-D2, he called his invention R9-D9. That does not change the fact that all it takes is one look at it to know it’s Star Wars-inspired.
The project did not come without drawbacks. Hunter’s vacuum can no longer clean under sofas or beds but it’s a small price to pay to watch a Star Wars droid clean your house.
The AI–quantum computing mash-up: will it revolutionize science?
Scientists are exploring the potential of quantum machine learning. But whether there are useful applications for the fusion of artificial intelligence and quantum computing is unclear.
Meet Aloha, a housekeeping humanoid system that can cook and clean
The system also allows whole-body teleoperation, enabling simultaneous control of all degrees of freedom, including both arms and the mobile base.
The system builds on Google DeepMind’s Aloha system, emphasizing the importance of mobility and dexterity in the field of robotic learning.
