A new AI developed at Duke University can uncover simple, readable rules behind extremely complex systems. It studies how ...

Trained as a physicist, he applied simple mathematical models to complex phenomena in ecology, epidemiology and financial systems. By John Schwartz Robert May, an Australian-born scientist whose ...

Last week, Google Research held an online workshop on the conceptual understanding of deep learning. The workshop, which featured presentations by award-winning computer scientists and neuroscientists ...

Only a handful of molecules and mechanisms can generate such a huge diversity of forms and complexity in multicellular organisms. Recently, researchers investigated how this is possible using a simple ...

Zebras and tigers have stripes, cheetahs and leopards have spots, and the ocellated lizard (Timon lepidus) boasts a labyrinthine pattern of black-and-green chains of scales. Now researchers from the ...

John H. Porter and James L. Dooley, Jr. Attempts to fit simple mathematical models of animal movement to observed distributions of movements have been extremely successful. However, the extent to ...

Irreversible and catastrophic environmental tipping points could still be avoided, even if we exceed global emission reduction targets — provided the world is able to reverse overshoot quickly, ...

Researchers tested the accuracy of five AI models using 500 everyday math prompts. The results show that there is roughly a ...

Large Language Models (LLMs) have ushered in a new era of artificial intelligence (AI) demonstrating remarkable capabilities in language generation, translation, and reasoning. Yet, LLMs often stumble ...
