1+ min ago   (55+ words) Federated learning has become one of the most consequential architectures in modern machine learning, allowing hospitals, banks, factories and smartphone networks to train shared models without moving sensitive data off site. Yet the approach has long carried an uncomfortable question:…...

11+ min ago   (55+ words) Artificial intelligence systems that watch video have become remarkably good at recognizing what they see, but they remain surprisingly poor at understanding why things happen. A research team now reports a new self-supervised framework, called TRACE, that pushes video understanding…...
