Researchers Calibrate Force Estimates With 96% Accuracy
1+ hour, 3+ min ago (805+ words) Researchers have developed a computationally efficient method for improving the reliability of atomic simulations by fine-tuning existing machine learning models, reducing training time by up to 96% whilst maintaining accurate predictions of material behaviour. https://quantumzeitgeist.com/wp-content/uploads/Image_fx-40-35.jpg Scientists are increasingly reliant on accurate…...
The Preprocessing Step You're Probably Skipping (And Why Your Model Is Paying for It)
1+ hour, 56+ min ago (1278+ words) You spend days collecting data. You pick the right architecture. You tune your learning rate. You train the model, check the metrics, and something feels off. The accuracy is decent but not great. The model struggles on images that look…...
Machine Learning Clarifies Elusive Quantum States In Material
2+ hour, 16+ min ago (437+ words) Scientists are edging closer to realising the potential of quantum computing with a new technique for identifying elusive quantum particles. The method overcomes a major hurdle in materials science by reliably distinguishing genuine quantum signals from misleading background noise, promising…...
Better Statistical Tests Minimise False Error Rates
2+ hour, 30+ min ago (410+ words) Scientists have long sought better ways to assess how well statistical models reflect real-world data. Current methods often struggle with the balance between flagging false positives and missing genuine patterns. A Bayesian approach to goodness-of-fit testing offers a more principled…...
Weighted Networks Reveal Three Distinct Scaling Phases
2+ hour, 47+ min ago (265+ words) By combining sophisticated mathematical tools, specifically, Stein-type Poisson approximation and a Palm-coupling approach, the team has uncovered how the tail behaviour of vertex weights dictates the scaling of extreme edge lengths. For instance, in regimes where the average weight is…...
Adjustments Can Bias Scores With 2-Dependent Forecasts
3+ hour, 1+ min ago (251+ words) Accurate weather prediction relies on ensembles, multiple forecasts combined to give a range of likely outcomes. New work reveals a hidden flaw in how these ensembles are evaluated, where apparent improvements can actually mask unreliable results. A clever solution, using…...
Primary 2 Maths: The Foundation Year Parents Often Underestimate Primary 2 Maths: The Foundation Year Parents Often Underestimate
3+ hour, 18+ min ago (948+ words) Most parents worry about upper primary. They watch for warning signs in Primary 4 and 5. They start thinking about PSLE when their child hits Primary 6. But here's what often gets missed: the foundations that determine whether a child thrives or struggles…...
Robots Learn Human Movement Using Reconstructed 3D Scenes
3+ hour, 42+ min ago (762+ words) Researchers have developed MeshMimic, a new framework enabling humanoid robots to learn complex, terrain-aware movements directly from video by reconstructing 3D environments and optimising motion to ensure physical consistency between the robot and its surroundings. https://quantumzeitgeist.com/wp-content/uploads/Image_fx-24-48.jpg Researchers are addressing the critical…...
AI-Driven Traffic Tech: Dutch PM Lauds Bengaluru's Innovation
3+ hour, 47+ min ago (199+ words) Bengaluru: Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof visited the Bengaluru Traffic Police's (BTP) Traffic Management Centre on Friday and reviewed its AI-based traffic systems. Schoof is in the city for the AI Impact Summit 2026. He was briefed on the city's technology-driven…...
Parameter Sharing Misleads Quantum Optimizers With Complex Gradients
3+ hour, 54+ min ago (246+ words) Can quantum circuits with shared components actually hinder their ability to learn effectively. It appears so, as sharing parameters creates misleading signals that confuse optimisation algorithms. These deceptive gradients become more pronounced with increased sharing, making it harder to find…...
