My progress was 0.5% or 7.3%, depending on which denominator the report used
19+ hour, 34+ min ago (426+ words) A classification pass over a large corpus prints its progress. Here are two numbers from the same run, in the same line: Eight of sixteen hundred. Four and a half thousand of sixty-two thousand. Both are "how much have we…...
I Checked Whether My Models’ 90% Confidence Actually Meant 90%. Most Didn’t.
1+ day, 4+ hour ago (31+ words) Another fully real one — no composite scenario. Every number below came out of an actual script run just now …...
Tiny AI Model Learns to Tell Individual Turkeys Apart in Crowded Barns
1+ day, 15+ hour ago (57+ words) In the dim, crowded interior of a commercial turkey barn, one bird looks much like another. Thousands of large, white-feathered animals mill about under fixed overhead cameras, and to the human eye—and, crucially, to most computer vision systems—they…...
New AI Algorithm Delivers Realistic, Optimal Explanations for Black-Box
1+ day, 15+ hour ago (1041+ words) When a bank’s algorithm denies someone a loan, the most useful answer is not an abstract account of the model’s internal mathematics. It is a concrete, actionable statement: change these specific things about your application and the outcome would flip....
The Man Who Invented AI in 1700 — and Why Almost Nobody Remembers Him
2+ day, 1+ hour ago (29+ words) Next time a startup announces a “breakthrough in artificial intelligence,” it’s worth remembering a powdered-wig German …...
Intention distillation lifts robot success by 20 %
2+ day, 8+ hour ago (626+ words) Injecting a high‑level intent signal into vision‑language‑action pipelines produces a roughly twenty‑percentage‑point jump in robot success in simulation and a more modest several‑percentage‑point increase in real‑world experiments (with up to 12 pp gains…...
Turing Award Winner Richard Stearns Remembered as a Guiding Light at UAlbany
3+ day, 13+ hour ago (652+ words) ALBANY, N.Y. (Sept. 10, 2026) — Richard Stearns’ accomplishments and recognition in computer science were extraordinary, establishing him as a pioneer who helped introduce the concept of computational complexity. You may not have known that, however, if you were a student of his at…...
How We Cut Target Leakage from 92% to 0.1% in Court Outcome Prediction (and Built a Triple-A MCP Server)
3+ day, 13+ hour ago (139+ words) When building AI for court outcome prediction, there is a massive hidden trap that invalidates most benchmarks: target leakage. In Dutch court rulings, roughly 92% of raw texts contain the actual outcome verbatim (dictum or conclusion sentences like "the court dismisses…...
Data obfuscation: dirtying your data to confuse algorithms
