When it comes to computing, flexibility usually means something to do with software compatibility, or just maybe a bendable screen. But a computer chip that can be extended to over three times its normal size? That’s a real, er, stretch.But it’s exactly what a team of researchers at MIT are claiming their new “strong but stretchy” metamaterial could enable. A metamaterial, in case you’re wondering, is a substance with multiple microscopic structures.Typically, these structures combine to enable properties that are usually compatible, including strength combined with softness or stretchiness. As for the new MIT material, it combines a “rigid, grid-like…

In Q1 2025, we again saw investment in late-stage startups surge, while venture capitalists spent less money on seed- and early-stage startups globally. That continues a clear trend that has emerged from the Crunchbase dataset in recent quarters: Large, established startups are landing outsized deals and more money, while the youngest companies struggle with fewer investment dollars. In all, global venture funding in Q1 clocked in at $113 billion — the strongest quarter since Q2 2022 — but a staggering one-third of the total was thanks to a single round: OpenAI’s $40 billion raise. The new funding, which marks the…

#hypertransformer #metalearning #deeplearning This video contains a paper explanation and an interview with author Andrey Zhmoginov! Few-shot learning is an interesting sub-field in meta-learning, with wide applications, such as creating personalized models based on just a handful of data points. Traditionally, approaches have followed the BERT approach where a large model is pre-trained and then fine-tuned. However, this couples the size of the final model to the size of the model that has been pre-trained. Similar problems exist with “true” meta-learners, such as MaML. HyperTransformer fundamentally decouples the meta-learner from the size of the final model by directly predicting the…
