Guarding Europe’s hidden lifelines: how AI could protect subsea infrastructure

By Michael Allen Thousands of kilometres of cables and pipelines criss-cross Europe’s sea floors, carrying the gas, electricity and data that keep modern life running. Yet these critical links lie mostly unprotected. A series of recent incidents, such as the Nord Stream gas pipeline explosions, has raised fears that Europe’s underwater infrastructure is becoming a […]

Robots to navigate hiking trails

If you’ve ever gone hiking, you know trails can be challenging and unpredictable. A path that was clear last week might be blocked today by a fallen tree. Poor maintenance, exposed roots, loose rocks, and uneven ground further complicate the terrain, making trails difficult for a robot to navigate autonomously. After a storm, puddles can

Learning from logical constraints with lower- and upper-bound arithmetic circuits

How can we train neural networks efficiently to be more consistent with background knowledge? Neural networks are remarkably good at recognising patterns in data, from images to language, but they often fail to respect rules and relationships that are obvious to humans. For instance, a neural network may learn to recognise road agents, their action,

A black keyboard at the bottom of the picture has an open book on it, with red words in labels floating on top, with a letter A balanced on top of them. The perspective makes the composition form a kind of triangle from the keyboard to the capital A. The AI filter makes it look like a messy, with a kind of cartoon style.

What are small language models and how do they differ from large ones?

Teresa Berndtsson / Letter Word Text Taxonomy / Licenced by CC-BY 4.0 By Lin Tian, University of Technology Sydney and Marian-Andrei Rizoiu, University of Technology Sydney Microsoft recently released its latest small language model that can operate directly on the user’s computer. If you haven’t followed the AI industry closely, you might be asking: what

More than half of new articles on the internet are being written by AI

By Francesco Agnellini, Binghamton University, State University of New York The line between human and machine authorship is blurring, particularly as it’s become increasingly difficult to tell whether something was written by a person or AI. Now, in what may seem like a tipping point, the digital marketing firm Graphite recently published a study showing

Half of UK novelists believe AI is likely to replace their work entirely

By Fred Lewsey A new report involving hundreds of literary creatives from across the UK fiction publishing industry reveals widespread fears over copyright violation, lost income, and the future of the art form, as generative AI tools and LLM-authored books flood the market. Just over half (51%) of published novelists in the UK say that

RL without TD learning

By Seohong Park In this post, I’ll introduce a reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm based on an “alternative” paradigm: divide and conquer. Unlike traditional methods, this algorithm is not based on temporal difference (TD) learning (which has scalability challenges), and scales well to long-horizon tasks. We can do Reinforcement Learning (RL) based on divide and conquer,

Scientific Visualization: Python + Matplotlib

The Python scientific visualisation landscape is huge. It is composed of a myriad of tools, ranging from the most versatile and widely used down to the more specialised and confidential. Some of these tools are community based while others are developed by companies. Some are made specifically for the web, others are for the desktop
