Deep learning has unlocked new paths towards the emulation of the peculiarly-human capability of learning from examples. While this kind of bottom-up learning works well for tasks such as image classification or object detection, it is not as effective when it comes to natural language processing. Communication is much more than learning a sequence of […]

The Pacific Northwest has the potential to experience large earthquakes (magnitude ~9) along the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ) fault, which is located approximately 120 km off the city of Vancouver. The last CSZ earthquake occurred in 1700, and it is expected to happen every 500 years. An occurrence of this event could lead to large […]

L’agriculture moderne recherche des solutions pour diminuer l’utilisation de pesticides chimiques.
