A team led by Northwestern Engineering researchers has developed the first artificial intelligence (AI) to date that can intelligently design robots from scratch. To test the new AI, the researchers ...

We imagine algorithms as computational formulas with standard and stable rules. They are, but in relation to the processors that process them. If the processors, architectures and operation of ...

Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research explains stochastic gradient descent (SGD) neural network training, specifically implementing a bio-inspired optimization technique called differential ...

Imagine a very complex problem—supply chain optimization, for example—in which a computer generates millions of trial solutions completely at random and then ...
