It proposes a model of associative learning which suggests that researchers have got things backwards. Their suggestion, moreover, is supported by an array of experiments.

In common parlance, a model is something you build, play with, look at, and relate to something bigger and more complicated. Or maybe it’s a person whose job is to show off a product or idea ...

This paper addresses two closely related questions, "What is a statistical model?" and "What is a parameter?" The notions that a model must "make sense," and that a parameter must "have a well-defined ...

AI’s great at sparking ideas, but in CPG, only real-world testing proves what works — and that’s where the winners will stand ...

Science is the process of building and testing these models based on experimental evidence. But at the end of the day, these are still just models. They aren't The Truth.

The latest of these efforts is the Open Language Model, a large language model set to be released by the nonprofit Allen Institute for AI Research (AI2) sometime in 2024.

From AMANDA to COSTAR, coming up with a good acronym will help sell a scientific project. Feedback admires the brains behind ...

Statistical models called hidden Markov models are a recurring theme in computational biology. What are hidden Markov models, and why are they so useful for so many different problems?

A scientific theory is a structured explanation to explain a group of facts or phenomena in the natural world that often incorporates a scientific hypothesis and scientific laws. The scientific ...

According to a 2010 paper in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, “When a theory or a model explains a phenomenon clearly, directly and economically, we say it is elegant: one idea, easy to ...
