AI Builds Better Sorting Algorithms: AlphaDev, a new system for high-speed sorting of lists and numbers

Online sorting algorithms run trillions of times a day to organize lists according to users’ interests. New work found faster alternatives. Daniel J. Mankowitz and colleagues at Google developed AlphaDev, a system that learned to generate algorithms that sort three...

Guiding the Scalpel: Researchers trained neural networks to assist brain surgeons' real-time tumor removal decisions.

A neural network helped brain surgeons decide how much healthy tissue to cut out when removing tumors — while the patients were on the operating table.

Optimizer Without Hyperparameters: VeLO, the system that eliminates the need for optimizer hyperparameters

During training, a neural network usually updates its weights according to an optimizer that’s tuned using hand-picked hyperparameters. New work eliminates the need for optimizer hyperparameters.

Neural Networks: Find the Function — A Basic Introduction to Neural Networks

Let’s get this out of the way: A brain is not a cluster of graphics processing units, and if it were, it would run software far more complex than the typical artificial neural network. Yet neural networks were inspired by the brain’s architecture.

Logistic Regression: Follow the Curve — A Basic Introduction to Logistic Regression for Machine Learning

There was a moment when logistic regression was used to classify just one thing: If you drink a vial of poison, are you likely to be labeled “living” or “deceased”? Times have changed.
