Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere—from the chatbots we consult for customer support to tools predicting how diseases might spread. But the computing power and energy required to power modern AI models—such as large language models (LLMs)—can make them expensive, inaccessible and environmentally taxing. A team of researchers at Rice University is working on solutions to change that.

Across the nation, 911 dispatch centers are facing a worker shortage. Unfortunately, this understaffing, plus the nature of the job itself, leads to dispatchers who are often overworked and stressed. Meanwhile, when community members need to report a crime, their options are to contact 911 for an emergency or, in a non-emergency situation, call a non-emergency number or fill out an online form.

Researchers have developed a new type of optical memory called a programmable photonic latch that is fast and scalable. This fundamental memory unit enables temporary data storage in optical processing systems, offering a high-speed solution for volatile memory using silicon photonics.

An English literature graduate turned data scientist has developed a new method for large language models (LLMs) used by AI chatbots to understand and analyze small chunks of text, such as those on social media profiles, in customer responses online or for understanding online posts responding to disaster events.

Reservoir computing (RC) is a powerful machine learning module designed to handle tasks involving time-based or sequential data, such as tracking patterns over time or analyzing sequences. It is widely used in areas such as finance, robotics, speech recognition, weather forecasting, natural language processing, and predicting complex nonlinear dynamical systems. What sets RC apart is its efficiency―it delivers powerful results with much lower training costs compared to other methods.

A recent report produced by the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), which outlines the energy use of data centers from 2014 to 2028, estimates that data center load growth has tripled over the past decade and is projected to double or triple by 2028.

Years ago, as she sat in waiting rooms, Maytal Saar-Tsechansky began to wonder how people chose a good doctor when they had no way of knowing a doctor's track record on accurate diagnoses. Talking to other patients, she found they sometimes based choices on a physician's personality or even the quality of their office furniture.

Birth asphyxia (BA) is a condition that occurs when newborn babies do not receive enough oxygen during delivery, and it's one of the primary causes of neonatal death.
