Deep Learning (DL) systems will evolve from the current monolithic systems, to more modular systems. The traditional DL system is trained end-to-end with a single objective function and optimization algorithm. We however are already seeing newer systems like GANs, that involve more than one DL system. GANs employ a generator and a discriminator, that are in an adversarial relationship, competing against each other. The main difficulty of training GANs is that finding an equilibrium is difficult.

In a first, a team of physicists is using artificial intelligence (AI) to run a complex experiment to create an extremely cold gas trapped in a laser beam known as a Bose-Einstein condensate -- thus replicating the experiment that won the 2001 Nobel Prize. Bose-Einstein condensates are some of the coldest places in the universe -- far colder than outer space and typically less than a billionth of a degree above absolute zero. They can be used for mineral exploration or navigation systems as they are extremely sensitive to external disturbances, which allows them to make very precise measurements such as tiny changes in the Earth's magnetic field or gravity. Indian physicist Satyendra Nath Bose, along with German-born theoretical physicist Albert Einstein, founded the basis for Bose-Einstein statistics. It describes the statistical distribution of identical particles with integer spin, now called subatomic particle or the "God particle" Boson.

The next J.J. Abrams-produced original sci-fi film has just signed its lead actors, and perhaps spilled some more plot details. According to Variety, J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot company has landed actors David Oyelowo and Gugu Mbatha-Raw to star in God Particle, the latest in Bad Robot's series of low-budget sci-fi originals that includes 2008's Cloverfield and this month's 10 Cloverfield Lane. Oyelowo is best known for his inspired portrayal of Martin Luther King Jr. in 2013's Selma, but has also appeared in Jack Reacher and A Most Violent Year, while Mbatha-Raw has shown up in Concussion, Beyond the Lights and the short-lived 2010 Bad Robot series Undercovers. Meanwhile, the official plot synopsis for God Particle, which is being directed by Julius Onah, follows "a team of astronauts on a mission who make a terrifying discovery that challenges all they know about the fabric of reality, as they desperately fight for survival." But The Wrap has added a few new wrinkles to that narrative, reporting that the film "follows an American space station crew who, believing they have destroyed Earth via a Hadron accelerator, allow the crew of hostile nations to board their ship, with disastrous results."
