Can large language models figure out the real world? New metric measures AI's predictive power

In the 17th century, German astronomer Johannes Kepler figured out the laws of motion that made it possible to accurately predict where our solar system's planets would appear in the sky as they orbit the sun. But it wasn't until decades later, when Isaac Newton formulated the universal laws of gravitation, that the underlying principles were understood.

More cameras, more problems? Why deep learning still struggles with 3D human sensing

Accurately estimating human pose was among the first tasks addressed by deep learning. Early models like OpenPose focused on localizing human joints as 2D keypoints in image coordinates. Later, Google came up with Mediapipe, followed by YOLOpose, which gained major attention and is widely adopted due to its efficiency and accuracy.

Social experiments assess 'artificial' altruism displayed by large language models

Altruism, the tendency to behave in ways that benefit others even if it comes at a cost to oneself, is a valuable human quality that can facilitate cooperation with others and promote meaningful social relationships. Behavioral scientists have been studying human altruism for decades, typically using tasks or games rooted in economics.
