New memristor training method slashes AI energy use by six orders of magnitude
In a Nature Communications study, researchers from China have developed an error-aware probabilistic update (EaPU) method that aligns memristor hardware's noisy updates with neural network training, slashing energy use by nearly six orders of magnitude versus GPUs while boosting accuracy on vision tasks.

A popular theory as to why primates engage in homosexual behaviour is that it reduces conflict and enhances bonding between members of social groups. However, data that would support or refute this idea are sparse. New research is changing that
Same-sex sexual behaviour in primates is a survival strategy
It promotes harmony among those living in harsh environments, says new study
