One major issue facing artificial intelligence is the interaction between a computer's memory and its processing capabilities. When an algorithm is in operation, data flows rapidly between these two ...

In a study published in Frontiers in Science, scientists from Purdue University and the Georgia Institute of Technology outline practical approaches to overcome the limitations of modern computing ...

In a busy room full of talking people, most of us can still pick out one voice to focus on. This common yet complex task—known as the “cocktail party effect”—relies on the brain’s incredible ability ...

AI hardware needs to become more brain-like to meet the growing energy demands of real-world applications, according to researchers. In a study published in Frontiers in Science, scientists from ...
