Ferroelectric RAM performs calculations within memory
In a new Nature Communications study, researchers have developed an in-memory ferroelectric differentiator capable of performing calculations directly in the memory without requiring a separate processor.
A new way to measure uncertainty provides an important step toward confidence in AI model training
It's obvious when a dog has been poorly trained. It doesn't respond properly to commands. It pushes boundaries and behaves unpredictably. The same is true with a poorly trained artificial intelligence (AI) model. Only with ...
