New Computer Chips Do Math With Light

Professor Anthony Rizzo is quoted in an article about the development of new computer chips that use laser light to process information. The processors could soon solve specific real-world problems faster and with lower energy requirements than conventional computers. Rizzo noted that these devices have shown that light-based, or photonic, components "can do things that we care about, and that they can do them better than electronic chips that we already have."

They create a pacemaker smaller than a grain of rice, disposable, and activated by light

Professor Wei Ouyang is mentioned as one of the researchers on a Northwestern University-developed prototype of the smallest pacemaker in the world, that can be inserted with a syringe and dissolves when it is no longer needed. Its size is very suitable for babies with heart defects.

Cyber Defense x2

Professor Peter Chin's Learning, Intelligence + Singal Processing (LISP) lab had two papers accepted at the Reinforcement Learning Conference (RLC): "Hierarchical Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning for Cyber Network Defense" and "Quantitative Resilience Modeling for Autonomous Cyber Defense." Said Chin, "Both papers are part of the outcome of the four-year DARPA research project called CASTLE: Cyber Agents for Security Testing and Learning Environments that LISP lab has been working on to develop game-theoretic reinforcement learning agents that can outsmart potential cyber adversaries in an enterprise-level network."

Most Read of All Time

Professor Vikrant Vaze is a co-author of “Operational Research: methods and applications” which recently became the most read article of all time in the Journal of the Operational Research Society—the oldest journal in the field of operations research. "This is arguably the first prominent article to provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in operations research [OR], from both a methodological and from an applications standpoint. It is meant to serve as the first point of reference for OR academics, researchers, students and practitioners alike," said Vaze.

Understanding AI Behavior

PhD students Clement Nyanhongo '17 Th'18 and Bruno Miranda Henrique, and Professor Gene Santos co-authored "Reward Distance Comparisons Under Transition Sparsity" published in Transactions on Machine Learning Research. "Traditional reward comparison methods rely on behavioral simulations, which can be costly and pose safety risks. Our method is specifically designed to operate in more realistic and practical settings, recognizing real-world constraints, and outperforms existing approaches across a range of domains," says Santos.
