Fiddler Auditor: Open-source tool evaluates the robustness of large language models
Fiddler Auditor is an open-source tool designed to evaluate the robustness of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) models. LLMs can sometimes produce unwarranted content, potentially create hostile responses, and may dis.....»»
New technique in error-prone quantum computing makes classical computers sweat
Despite steady improvements in quantum computers, they're still noisy and error-prone, which leads to questionable or wrong answers. Scientists predict that they won't truly outcompete today's "classical" supercomputers for at least five or ten years.....»»
Sonodynamic immunotherapy proves effective in pancreatic cancer treatment
Ultrasound is a promising technique for treating cancer. Unlike laser light, used in photodynamic cancer therapy, ultrasound waves can reach deep into tissue—up to 12 cm—to treat deep tumors without damaging healthy cells. A team of researchers r.....»»
Ants have a specialized communication processing center that has not been found in other social insects
Have you ever noticed an ant in your home, only to find that a week later the whole colony has moved in? The traps you set up catch only a few of these ants, but soon, the rest of the colony has mysteriously disappeared. Now, a study published in the.....»»
