Machine Learning Research Paper SummaryImage by AuthorBERTScore is an automatic evaluation metric used for testing the goodness of text generation systems. Unlike existing popular methods that compute token level syntactical similarity, BERTScore focuses on computing semantic similarity between tokens of reference and hypothesis. The author’s of the paper tested it on machine translations and image captioning tasks and found it to correlate better with human judgements.More of such videosLet’s take an example of take…

Gucci and esports platform Faceit have announced the Gucci Gaming Academy, which will help proffessional players get signed with top esports teams, starting with Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO).  Players involved with the academy program will be chosen from the CS:GO Faceit Pro League (FPL), and given the support they need to get signed by top esports teams. This includes in-game, psychological, physical coaching, hardware and networking support from both Gucci and Faceit. The Gucci Gaming Academy aims to act…

The crystal structure of a layer of graphyne, not to be confused with graphene. Credit: Yiming HuCU Boulder scientists have successfully synthesized graphyne, which has been theorized for decades but never successfully produced.For over a decade, scientists have attempted to synthesize a new form of carbon called graphyne with limited success. That endeavor is now at an end, though, thanks to new research from the University of Colorado Boulder.Graphyne has long been of interest to scientists because of its similarities…

Shadow is adding a new subscription tier to its cloud gaming service with access to the equivalent of Nvidia and AMD’s latest generation of graphics cards for an additional $14.99 a month. The new Power Upgrade tier is an optional add-on to Shadow’s existing $29.99 subscription service, bringing the total cost to a little under $45. Alongside it, the company is announcing an expansion to more countries, a new online storage service, and a service that makes its cloud-based machines available to professional users.…

As any dietician will tell you, some fats are good—and that is surely true of the little fatty balls found in two of the world’s most widely used COVID-19 vaccines. Known as lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), these tiny bubbles of fat encase messenger RNA (mRNA) that encodes a viral protein, helping ferry it into cells and shield it from destructive enzymes. The technology was key to the success of COVID-19 shots from Moderna and the Pfizer-BioNTech collaboration. But as beneficial as…

Dell G15 gaming laptops were launched in India on Monday. The gaming laptops are available in two variants, the Dell G15 5520 vanilla model, and Dell G15 5521 Special Edition (SE). The new machines are powered by the latest 12th generation Intel Core i5 and Core i7 H series processors. They are equipped with up to Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti 8GB GDDR6 graphics cards, and come with improved cooling systems, Dell says. The new G15 devices are enabled with Game Shift technology and Alienware Command Center.Dell G15 5520, G15…

These six short stories are almost a novel, interlinked by characters who drift and reconnect with one another in the way friends do, living a big-city, post-university life. And this is Calder’s canvas: young adulthood, and a generation simultaneously bound to one another via social media and yet lost in a disconnected modern world. It comes, helpfully, with a glowing quote from that generation’s chronicler-in-chief, Sally Rooney, who calls Reward System “an exhilarating and beautiful book”.They’re not necessarily the…

Ubiquitous computing has triggered an avalanche of data that is beyond human processing capabilities. AI technologies have emerged as the only viable way to turn this data into information. As more computing produces more data, more computing power is needed to power AI. Next generation AI will soon look to planetary-scale computing systems to further fuel AI’s computational requirements. We’ll examine some of the technologies, such as neuromorphic and quantum computing, that will unlock the next step in performance that…

As the world grapples with the new face of remote work in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic researchers are only now catching up to the implications of virtual communication on tasks that in the past would have been conducted face-to-face. A new study published in the journal Nature has homed in on how videoconferencing technologies affect the quality of creative collaborations and the results indicate virtual tools may not be as effective in generating new and unique ideas as in-person interactions.Recent research has…

As part of the ongoing enablement of AMD’s next generation RDNA 3 GPUs, the company has released a series of patches for Linux that reveal details about the company’s upcoming video engines, the Video Codec Next version 4.x. For now, VCN 4.x supports decoding of virtually all modern codecs, but for some reason AV1 encoding is not supported.AMD's VCN 4.0 engine appears to support H.264/MPEG 4 AVC, H.265, VP9, AV1, and JPEG decoding, but only H.264 and H.265 encoding. For now, VCN does not appear to support AV1 encoding as…
