(Nanowerk Spotlight) Computing systems have made impressive progress, but they still fall short when compared to the human brain’s energy efficiency and adaptability. Biological neurons handle complex ...

The simplified approach makes it easier to see how neural networks produce the outputs they do. A tweak to the way artificial neurons work in neural networks could make AIs easier to decipher.

(A) A traditional fully connected neural network. The layers are connected by black lines corresponding to weights. The neurons separately realize the summation and nonlinear activation functions ...

A team at Carnegie Mellon University is helping kids understand artificial intelligence with a soft, squishy, LED-lit neural network. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. ...

“Neural networks are currently the most powerful tools in artificial intelligence,” said Sebastian Wetzel, a researcher at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. “When we scale them up to ...

You probably have a general understanding of the human brain: a network of nerve cells connected by synapses. Complex or abstract ideas emerge as a result of the firing of many of these nerve cells, ...
