The information bottleneck (IB) principle is a powerful information‐theoretic framework that seeks to compress data representations while preserving the information most pertinent to a given task.

From outer space to the human brain, Tufts University’s research labs explore various fields of science to uncover new ...

Over the past decades, computer scientists have introduced numerous artificial intelligence (AI) systems designed to emulate ...

The simplified approach makes it easier to see how neural networks produce the outputs they do. A tweak to the way artificial neurons work in neural networks could make AIs easier to decipher.

We study deep neural networks and their use in semiparametric inference. We establish novel rates of convergence for deep feedforward neural nets. Our new rates are sufficiently fast (in some cases ...

The Heisenberg uncertainty principle puts a limit on how precisely we can measure certain properties of quantum objects. But researchers may have found a way to bypass this limitation using a quantum ...

Economic policymaking relies upon accurate forecasts of economic conditions. Current methods for unconditional forecasting are dominated by inherently linear models that exhibit model dependence and ...

Researchers have devised a way to make computer vision systems more efficient by building networks out of computer chips’ logic gates. Networks programmed directly into computer chip hardware can ...
