In the 17th century, German astronomer Johannes Kepler figured out the laws of motion that made it possible to accurately predict where our solar system's planets would appear in the sky as they orbit the sun. But it wasn't until decades later, when Isaac Newton formulated the universal laws of gravitation, that the underlying principles were understood.

1 week ago Social experiments assess 'artificial' altruism displayed by large language models

Altruism, the tendency to behave in ways that benefit others even if it comes at a cost to oneself, is a valuable human quality that can facilitate cooperation with others and promote meaningful social relationships. Behavioral scientists have been studying human altruism for decades, typically using tasks or games rooted in economics.

2 w. ago Graph analysis AI model achieves training up to 95 times faster on a single GPU

Alongside text-based large language models (LLMs), including ChatGPT in industrial fields, GNN (Graph Neural Network)-based graph AI models that analyze unstructured data such as financial transactions, stocks, social media, and patient records in graph form are widely used. However, there is a limitation, in that full graph learning—training the entire graph at once—requires massive memory and GPU servers.
