The common wood sorrel (Oxalis acetosella) migrates westwards at a speed of around 5 kilometres per year and northwards at around 0.1 kilometres per year, says the research (image credit: Petr Harant). Surprising westward shifts in the distribution of plants are explainable, according to new research, by nitrogen pollution, and to a lesser extent climate […]

While large language models (LLMs) like GPT-3 and Llama are impressive in their capabilities, they often need more information and more access to domain-specific data. Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) solves these challenges by combining LLMs with information retrieval. This integration allows for smooth interactions with real-time data using natural language, leading to its growing popularity in […]

More and more of our residual waste is incinerated, as much as 65 per cent of it goes up in smoke. PhD candidate Kim Rainer Mattson believes much of this can be recovered and recycled (image credit: Photo: Sølvi W. Normannsen). In the sea of environmental problems over which we have little control, recycling has […]

A new research collaboration between Singapore and China has proposed a method for attacking the popular synthesis method 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS). The new attack method uses crafted source data to overload the available GPU memory of the target system, and to make training so lengthy as to potentially incapacitate the target server, equivalent to […]
