North Korea announced on Monday that its latest spy satellite launch ended in the explosion of its rocket just minutes after liftoff — a third failure in its last four attempts to put a satellite into orbit.And that was despite Russian space experts recently arriving to guide North Korea's space program, South Korean news agency Yonhap reported a day before the failed launch, citing a senior defense official who was not named.Yonhap wrote that a "large number" of Russian technicians had entered North Korea after Russian leader Vladimir Putin last year offered to support Pyongyang with its satellite launches.It's unclear…

Space Force extends Wallaroo’s contract for on-orbit AI applications

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

WASHINGTON — Artificial intelligence startup Wallaroo Labs won a $1.5 million contract from the U.S. Space Force to continue the development of machine learning models for edge computers in orbit. The New York-based company, known as Wallaroo.ai, is partnered with New Mexico State University for the Small Business Technology Transfer Phase 2 contract, announced Aug. 15. The team last year won a Phase 1 award. Wallaroo.ai created a software platform that helps businesses assess the performance of AI applications when deployed on edge computers. The contract was awarded by SpaceWERX, the technology arm of the U.S. Space Force, in support…

Efficient Mitigation of Bus Bunching through Setter-Based Curriculum Learning

stp2y0 CommentsViral News

arXiv:2405.15824v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Curriculum learning has been growing in the domain of reinforcement learning as a method of improving training efficiency for various tasks. It involves modifying the difficulty (lessons) of the environment as the agent learns, in order to encourage more optimal agent behavior and higher reward states. However, most curriculum learning methods currently involve discrete transitions of the curriculum or predefined steps by the programmer or using automatic curriculum learning on only a small subset training such as only on an adversary. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to curriculum learning that uses a…

New AI generates CRISPR proteins unlike any seen in nature

stp2y0 CommentsNews

Berkeley-based startup Profluent has trained an AI to imagine new, never-before-seen CRISPR proteins — opening the door to gene editors with capabilities beyond what we’ve found in the wild. They’re also making a brand new CRISPR system open source, so any scientist can now start leveraging an AI-designed gene editor to advance their research. The background: In nature, bacteria evolved CRISPR as a defense against viruses, but in the lab, we can program CRISPR systems to make precise edits to any gene, which has proven to be hugely useful in medicine, agriculture, and more.Current CRISPR gene editors can make edits in…

AI can now generate entire songs on demand. What does this mean for music as we know it?

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

In March, we saw the launch of a “ChatGPT for music” called Suno, which uses generative AI to produce realistic songs on demand from short text prompts. A few weeks later, a similar competitor – Udio – arrived on the scene. I’ve been working with various creative computational tools for the past 15 years, both as a researcher and a producer, and the recent pace of change has floored me. As I’ve argued elsewhere, the view that AI systems will never make “real” music like humans do should be understood more as a claim about social context than technical capability.…

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPTGitHub elevates the generative AI coding experience with Copilot Workspace, Mike Wheatley, SiliconANGLE

Microsoft Corp.’s GitHub today announced a new generative artificial intelligence-powered development environment called Copilot Workspace, which builds on the capabilities of its original AI-powered coding tool to help reduce the time it takes to get started on new projects. Unveiled in a blog post authored by GitHub Chief Executive Thomas Dohmke, Copilot Workspace is designed to help developers by reducing the time they need to spend reading through an existing codebase to work out how to get started on a new project. They can use natural language to brainstorm ideas, plan, build, test and run their code, and do it…
