Machine learning
- Machine Learning (journal)Machine Learning, a peer-reviewed scientific journal, had been running for fifteen years when its own editors turned on its publisher.
- Mechanistic interpretabilityChris Olah coined the term mechanistic interpretability to describe reverse-engineering neural networks. Before this moment, researchers mostly looked at…
- Developmental roboticsDevelopmental robotics asks a question that would have seemed absurd not long ago: can a machine learn the way a child does?
- Fine-tuning (deep learning)Fine-tuning begins when a neural network trained for one task meets new data. The original model, known as the upstream task, must now perform a different…
- Contrastive Language-Image Pre-trainingIn 2021, OpenAI released a model called RN50 that processed images and text into single vectors. These vectors lived in a shared space where similar pairs…
- Claude (language model)Anthropic released the first version of Claude in March 2023. This initial model remained exclusive to a small group of selected users approved by the…
- Machine learningMachine learning is the field that gave us a computer program capable of beating the world's top players at Go, a game long considered too intuitive for…
- Hugging FaceClément Delangue, Julien Chaumond, and Thomas Wolf founded Hugging Face in 2016. They established the company in New York City with a specific goal.
- Generative artificial intelligenceIn 1906, Russian mathematician Andrey Markov introduced a concept that would eventually birth generative artificial intelligence.
- Transfer learningTransfer learning is a technique in machine learning where knowledge built up on one task gets applied to a different but related task.
- Apprenticeship learningApprenticeship learning asks a deceptively simple question: what if a machine could learn not from rules, but from watching?
- Fairness (machine learning)The year 1964 marked a turning point in American history when the U.S. Civil Rights Act passed into law. This legislation sparked intense debate within the…
- Pattern recognitionPattern recognition is the task of assigning a class to an observation based on patterns extracted from data. Every time a bank flags an unusual transaction…
- Attention (machine learning)In the 1950s, researchers studied how humans focus on specific sounds while ignoring background noise. This phenomenon became known as the cocktail party…
- Hallucination (artificial intelligence)In 1986, Eric Mjolsness used the word hallucination in his PhD thesis to describe a computer vision process that added detail to an image.
