ABSTRACT: Many institutions of higher learning have been, and in some cases continue to be, profoundly shaped by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The University of Namibia (UNAM) was not exempt ...

Fine-tuned “student” models can pick up unwanted traits from base “teacher” models that could evade data filtering, generating a need for more rigorous safety evaluations. Researchers have discovered ...

Modern large language models (LLMs) might write beautiful sonnets and elegant code, but they lack even a rudimentary ability to learn from experience. Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of ...

At long last, a unified theory combining gravity with the other fundamental forces—electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces—is within reach. Bringing gravity into the fold has been the ...
