AI image models gain creative edge by amplifying low-frequency features
Recently, text-based image generation models can automatically create high-resolution, high-quality images solely from natural language descriptions. However, when a typical example like the Stable Diffusion model is given the text "creative," its ability to generate truly creative images remains limited.

Bilinear sequence regression model shows why AI excels at learning from word sequences
Researchers at EPFL have created a mathematical model that helps explain how breaking language into sequences makes modern AI-like chatbots so good at understanding and using words. The work is published in the journal Physical Review X.

New search tool brings 21% better accuracy for robotics developers
Imagine you are in a vast library with no catalog, typing random words into a search bar and hoping to stumble upon the exact book you need. That has been the reality for many roboticists trying to find the right ROS (Robot Operating System) package. With over 7,500 options available, keyword searches often return irrelevant results, wasting developers' precious time and energy.

The hidden bias pushing women out of computer science
At the dawn of computing, women were the early adopters of computational technology, working with punch cards in what was then considered secretarial work. As computer science evolved into a prestigious field focused on algorithms and theory, women became—and remained—underrepresented. Today, only 23% of bachelor's and doctoral degrees in computer science are awarded to women, and just 18% of full professors are women—fewer than in the 1980s.

From code to commands: Prompt training technique helps users speak AI's language
Today's generative artificial intelligence models can create everything from images to computer applications, but the quality of their output depends largely on the prompt a human user provides.

Improved slime mold algorithm boosts efficiency in e-commerce cloud data migration
As e-commerce platforms grow ever more reliant on cloud computing, efficiency and sustainability have come to the fore as urgent pressures on development. A study published in the International Journal of Reasoning-based Intelligent Systems has introduced an innovative approach to the problem based on a slime mold algorithm (SMA). The work could improve both performance and energy efficiency for e-commerce systems.

Benchmarking hallucinations: New metric tracks where multimodal reasoning models go wrong
Over the past decades, computer scientists have introduced increasingly sophisticated machine learning-based models, which can perform remarkably well on various tasks. These include multimodal large language models (MLLMs), systems that can process and generate different types of data, predominantly texts, images and videos.

Researcher explores visual media through the lens of machine vision
Large visual collections, such as paintings, photographs, drawings, and other forms of visual media, offer valuable insights into historical events, social life, and artistic expression. These collections are key to understanding how societies produce and use images to shape cultural meaning over time. Yet they remain difficult to study due to their sheer size, often consisting of hundreds of thousands of items, and their intrinsic complexity, including diverse visual features, contents, contexts, and metadata structures.

Explainable AI: New framework increases transparency in decision-making systems
A new explainable AI technique transparently classifies images without compromising accuracy. The method, developed at the University of Michigan, opens up AI for situations where understanding why a decision was made is just as important as the decision itself, like medical diagnostics.
