Scientists are beginning to show that learning is not exclusive to neurons and synapses. At the scale of billionths of a meter, tiny channels called nanopores are starting to display brain-like ...

Modern large language models (LLMs) might write beautiful sonnets and elegant code, but they lack even a rudimentary ability to learn from experience. Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of ...

The world is full of things to learn. Where to start? How to choose what to pay attention to? What motivates someone to seek new knowledge? The desire to learn is partly a preference for novelty: we ...

Machine learning, a type of artificial intelligence, has many applications in science, from finding gravitational lenses in the distant universe to predicting virus evolution. Hubble Space Telescope ...

NTT Research and NTT R&D co-authored papers explore LLMs’ uncertain and open-ended nature, the “emergence” phenomenon, In-Context Learning and more Collectively, this research breaks new ground in ...

Scientists have long suspected that hormones quietly tune how the brain learns, but the idea of a single, hidden “switch” has usually been more metaphor than map. What is emerging from decades of ...
