A new type of mathematics

New discoveries expand the scope of computer-assisted proofs of theorems.

Just for you

Recommender systems that provide consumers with customized options have redefined e-commerce, and are spreading to other fields.

When data is not enough

Reproducibility of code is increasingly crucial to verifying scientific claims.

Deep learning takes on translation

Improvements in hardware, the availability of massive amounts of data, and algorithmic upgrades are among the factors supporting better machine translation.

Still seeking the optical transistor

Optical information handling is a critical staple for communications and the Internet, but using light for computer-scale computation remains a distant dream.

Optical fibers getting full

Exploring ways to push more data through a fiber one-tenth the thickness of the average human hair.

Electronics are leaving the plane

Stacking chips and connecting them vertically increases both speed and functionality.

AI, explain yourself

It is increasingly important to understand how artificial intelligence comes to a decision.

AI holds the better hand

Exploiting the techniques of game theory to come up with the superior poker hand.

Chips for artificial intelligence

Companies are racing to develop hardware that more directly empowers deep learning.
