Since ancient Greece, researchers have tried to isolate special rational points on curves. Now they have the first ever formula that applies uniformly to all curves ...

Over the past couple of months, several researchers have begun making the same provocative claim: They used generative-AI tools to solve a previously unanswered math problem. The most extreme promises ...

The traditional model of memory proposes that different types of long term memory are processed in separate brain modules. New research shows activation of these modules overlaps.

AI is going to be part of our lives, at scale. It is something we need to reckon with. The question is whether we remain the authors of those lives, or simply their hosts.

AI’s concealed labor has repeatedly led us to overestimate the technology. Humanoid robots are entering a similar phase.

Low-precision number formats don’t suit many simulations ...

Embedded Anthropic engineers have spent six months at Goldman building autonomous systems for time-intensive, high-volume back-office work. The bank expects efficiency gains rather than near-term job ...

Anthropic launched its latest AI model, Claude Opus 4.6, which is better at coding, sustaining tasks for longer and creating higher-quality professional work, the company said. The company's models ...

Five years ago, mathematicians Dawei Chen and Quentin Gendron were trying to untangle a difficult area of algebraic geometry involving differentials, elements of calculus used to measure distance ...

Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive evaluation of deep learning models for moving object detection via background subtraction, focusing on the LASIESTA dataset. We compare state-of-the-art ...

Abstract: In this paper, we analyse the M/M/1 queueing model, with working vacation, balking, reneging, feedback customers, and server breakdown. The customer was served using FCFS. The arrival ...
