How Do Neural Networks Learn? A Mathematical Formula Explains How They Detect Relevant Patterns
Technology & EngineeringNeural networks remain a black box whose inner workings engineers and scientists struggle to understand. Now, a team led by data and computer scientists at the University of California San Diego has given neural networks the equivalent of an X-ray to uncover how they actually learn.
Staying in the Loop: How Superconductors are Helping Computers “Remember”
Technology & EngineeringTo advance neuromorphic computing, some researchers are looking at analog improvements--advancing not just software, but hardware too. Research from the UC San Diego and UC Riverside shows a promising new way to store and transmit information using disordered superconducting loops.
Study Illuminates the Protective Role of Fluorescence in Neon-Colored Sea Anemones
Science & EnvironmentFor the first time, a team of researchers at Stanford University and UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography has uncovered a direct genetic link between fluorescence and color in sea anemones — those soft and tentacled tide pool creatures often encountered by beachgoers.
You Didn’t See It Coming: the Spontaneous Nature of Turbulence
Science & EnvironmentUC San Diego Professor of Physics Nigel Goldenfeld has shown in theoretical models of turbulence that even molecular motions can create large-scale patterns of randomness over a defined period of time.
