 Estimating accurate Earth models for 3-D seismic imaging and full waveform inversion (FWI) remains challenging due to limited low frequencies (i.e., below 2.0 Hz) typically available from active-source air gun arrays. Ambient wavefield energy acquired on large, continuously recording nodal arrays, though, presents a potential alternative energy source for subsurface ...
Join Mark Russinovich, Azure CTO and Technical Fellow, and get an under-the-hood look at Microsoft’s AI architecture, including the large-scale supercomputers that train foundational models and the infrastructure that efficiently serves small and large pretrained and finetuned models. He’ll cover everything from how we design servers, to the AI-aware resource ...
In this talk, I will argue that we should study AI ethics from the perspective of complex systems. In particular, machine learning (ML) systems are not islands. To understand and mitigate the risks and harms associated with ML systems, we need to examine the broader complex systems in which ML ...
Attosecond pulse trains (APT) emerged from high harmonics (Anne L’Huillier et al, 1987) and their spectral phase determination by RABBITT (Pierre-Marie Paul et al, 2001). Although the record of the shortest pulse of 43 as belongs to the technique of isolated attosecond pulse (IAP), APT and RABBITT have been extremely ...

Will CRISPR gene editing change our idea of what defines a species? Is gene editing simply a continuation of our long history of modifying animals through selective breeding? Or is it something radically new? Â Artist-in-Residence Heather Dewey-Hagborg and the Exploratorium present the world premiere of Xeno in Vivo, a multimedia ...
