Our new paper, In conversation with AI: aligning language models with human values, explores a different approach, asking what successful communication between humans and an artificial conversational agent might look like and what values should guide conversation in these contexts.…
Computer scientists have succeeded in developing a method for systematically finding the optimal quantum operation sequence for a quantum computer. They have developed a systematic method that applies optimal control theory (GRAPE algorithm) to identify the theoretically optimal sequence from…
Robots can be better at detecting mental wellbeing issues in children than parent-reported or self-reported testing, a new study suggests. Read More
Posted Grigor Aslanyan, Software Engineer, Google Patent documents typically use legal and highly technical language, with context-dependent terms that may have meanings quite different from colloquial usage and even between different documents.
