Historian Philip Decker, mathematician Victor Geadah, computer scientist Sayash Kapoor, and literary scholar Eliana Rozinov are this year’s Porter Ogden Jacobus Fellows.

When you swing a tennis racket or catch a set of keys, you aren’t thinking about wind resistance or gravity. Yet, to perform that motion, your brain is solving a massive physics problem in ...

Americans are living in parallel AI universes. For much of the country, AI has come to mean ChatGPT, Google’s AI overviews, and the slop that now clogs social-media feeds. Meanwhile, tech hobbyists ...

Claude Sonnet 4.6, released Tuesday, can apparently fill out multistep web forms and use several browser tabs.

Computer scientists Maria Apostolaki, Benjamin Eysenbach, and Yasaman Ghasempour; chemists William Jacobs and Erin Stache; physicist Isobel Ojalvo; and mathematician Bartolomeo Stellato are members of ...

Eight University of Chicago scholars have earned Sloan Research Fellowships, which recognize early-career scholars’ potential to make substantial contributions to their fields.

Large language models (LLMs) can suggest hypotheses, write code and draft papers, and AI agents are automating parts of the research process. Although this can accelerate science, it also makes it ...

LLMs tend to lose prior skills when fine-tuned for new tasks. A new self-distillation approach aims to reduce regression and ...

MIT researchers unveil a new fine-tuning method that lets enterprises consolidate their "model zoos" into a single, continuously learning agent.

The method has two main features: it evaluates how AI models reason through problems instead of just checking whether their final answers are correct, and it evaluates the quality of training data so ...

Mohanty and a multi-institution team demonstrated a fast, explicit approach to constructing lossless vertex expansion networks.

A research team from Soochow University has developed a novel artificial intelligence (AI) method to improve emotion cause ...
