As artificial intelligence continues to redefine the way we learn and work, DeVry University will integrate AI introduction and skills building into every course by the end of the year. The effort expands on the automation and machine learning program DeVry launched in 2020, adding new AI-focused courses and credentials and integrating AI learning assistants…
A study by UC Riverside researchers offers a practical solution to one of artificial intelligence’s toughest challenges by enabling AI systems to reason more like humans, without requiring new training data beyond testing questions. In a preprint paper entitled “Test-Time Matching: Unlocking Compositional Reasoning in Multimodal Models”, assistant professor Yinglun Zhu and students introduce a…
