Natural language conveys ideas, actions, information, and intent through context and syntax; further, there are volumes of it contained in databases. This makes it an excellent source of data to train machine-learning systems on. Two master’s of engineering students in the 6A MEng Thesis Program at MIT, Irene Terpstra ’23 and Rujul Gandhi ’22, are working with mentors in the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab to use this power of natural language to build AI systems. As computing is becoming more advanced, researchers are looking to improve the hardware that they run on; this means innovating to create new computer chips.…

In fact, research shows that as many as 48% of SMEs who are interested in tackling climate change lack the basic information to do so. What makes it even more difficult is the seemingly lack of direction from the organisation who should be here to support businesses in making the right environmental decisions – the Government. Despite its commitment to achieving net zero by 2050, the Government continues to roll back on green policies, taking measures such as scrapping most of HS2 and delaying the phasing out of fossil fuel cars. If the Government does not have a clear plan…

NASA In this image from Dec. 8, 2017, four reindeer walk past the Balloon Array for Radiation-belt Relativistic Electron Losses, or BARREL, payload on the launch pad at Esrange Space Center near Kiruna, Sweden. BARREL primarily measured X-rays in Earth’s atmosphere near the North and South Poles. These X-rays are caused by electrons that rain down, or precipitate, into the atmosphere from the giant swaths of radiation that surround Earth, called the Van Allen Belts. Understanding this radiation and its interaction with Earth’s atmosphere helps us to learn about planetary radiation belts, and to better protect satellites that orbit Earth.…

From the moment I plonked my panto-primed bum on my seat in the Oxford Suite at the Metropole hotel, I had a feeling that the producers had made a wise move this year shifting their show from the soulless, cavernous Brighton Centre. From the get go, a lot of thought and production values have been put into the set design. It’s simple but evocatively effective. But who cares about the drapes and screens, it’s surely the performers who make the show. Without doubt the two wicked stepsisters – played with drag-tastic aplomb by Jason Sutton and Josh Hanson – were…

The company, formerly known as MindGeek, will enter a deferred prosecution agreement, which means that a monitor will be appointed to oversee Aylo and its compliance efforts for three years.
