This article is part of our reviews of AI research papers, a series of posts that explore the latest findings in artificial intelligence.

Though artificial intelligence (AI) has been a hot topic among technologists for quite some time, it's only in recent years that semiconductor, software, …

In the movie All The President's Men, Woodward and Bernstein meet their informant in a parking garage and are told: "Follow the money." If you want to know which technologies are hot in banking, you should do the same.

Maybe we should just ignore him at this point, but proper credit assignment really is the foundation of any discipline, and any plagiarism hurts it (even if he is being better about crediting others than before). I mean, COME ON MAN.

Roundup Let's catch you up on the latest goings on in the world of AI beyond what we've already written about.
