The use of multiple entropy models for Huffman or arithmetic coding is widely used to improve the compression efficiency of many algorithms when the source probability distribution varies. However, ...

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists have demonstrated that black holes satisfy the third law of thermodynamics, which states that entropy remains positive and vanishes at ...

Researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China have developed a new reinforcement learning (RL) framework that helps train large language models (LLMs) for complex agentic tasks ...

Roland Hosch is into math. And robotics. And computers. The fifth-grade teacher at Redlands’ Kimberly Elementary School has blended it all together in his math classes. And the result has won him ...

A friend of mine almost didn't do a balance transfer because of the $300 fee. He was nervous about paying that much up front -- totally fair. But once he ran the numbers and saw he'd save over $1,400 ...

Abstract: Video compression takes advantage of entropy coding based on binary arithmetic coding to achieve lower-bit rates. On the other hand, the throughput of hardware implementations is limited by ...

A new research paper from Apple details a technique that speeds up large language model responses, while preserving output quality. Here are the details. Traditionally, LLMs generate text one token at ...

Details about OpenAI’s upcoming GPT-5 model have leaked. GitHub accidentally published details of the upcoming model and its four variants in a blog, which was later withdrawn. The leak points to ...
