“Currently years into the development of the #TopologicalQubit, the journey began with a single question, “Could a topological qubit be achieved”?

Working with theory as a starting point, #Microsoft brought together #mathematicians, #ComputerScientists, #physicists, and #engineers to explore possible approaches.

These experts collaborated, discussed methods, and completed countless equations to take the first steps on the path toward realizing a topological #qubit.”

#ChatGPT can be made to regurgitate snippets of text memorized from its training data when asked to repeat a single word over and over again, according to research published by #ComputerScientists.

The bizarre trick was discovered by a team of researchers working across industry and academia analyzing memorization in #LargeLanguageModels, and detailed in a paper released on arXiv this week. #AI #GenerativeAI

ChatGPT repeating certain words can expose its training data

Computer scientists sequence cotton genome

Cotton is the primary source of natural fiber on Earth, yet only four of 50 known species are suitable for textile production. Computer scientists at DePaul University applied a bioinformatics workflow to reconstruct one of the most complete genomes of a top cotton species, African domesticated Gossypium herbaceum cultivar Wagad. Experts say the results give scientists a more complete picture of how wild cotton was domesticated over time and may help to strengthen and protect the crop for farmers in the U.S., Africa and beyond.
