Researchers from MIT’s CSAIL and Project CETI use machine learning to decode the “sperm whale phonetic alphabet,” revealing complex communication patterns, deepening our understanding of animal language systems. This research, which analyzed thousands of codas from Caribbean sperm ...

A new method for monitoring contamination in bioethanol production could boost industry revenue by over $1.6 billion USD and cut CO2 emissions by 2 million tons. For the first time ever, researchers at The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability (DTU Biosustain) have investigated the co...

Researchers at Stanford have created an innovative reactor that uses electricity instead of fossil fuels, offering a cleaner alternative for industrial heating and potentially reducing carbon emissions significantly. Industrial processes in the U.S. currently contribute about a third of the nation&#...

Astronomers have discovered that asteroid 1998 KY26, the target of Japan’s Hayabusa2 extended mission, is far smaller and faster-spinning than previously thought. Astronomers have conducted a new study of the asteroid 1998 KY26 using observatories across the globe, including the European Southern Ob...

Researchers discovered that Hawaiian monk seals use a surprisingly complex range of underwater sounds, including new call types never documented before. The findings could transform how scientists monitor and protect this endangered species in an increasingly noisy ocean. A New Window Into Monk Seal...

An NLP researcher ranting about deep learning.

Abstract: "In this thesis, we present a set of hardware accelerators for unstructured big-data processing and natural language processing. The first accelerator, called HAWK, targets unstructured log processing and fits within the context of string search. HAWK consumes data at a fixed 32 GB/s,...
