Predicting physical properties of materials from their crystal structures is a fundamental problem in materials science. In peripheral areas such as the prediction of molecular properties, fully connected attention networks have been shown to be successful. However, unlike these finite atom arrangements, crystal structures are infinitely repeating, periodic arrangements of atoms, whose fully connected attention results in infinitely connected attention. In this work, we show that this infinitely connected attention can lead to a computationally tractable formulation, interpreted as neural potential summation, that performs infinite interatomic potential summations in a deeply learned feature space. We then propose a simple yet effective Transformer-based encoder architecture for crystal structures called Crystalformer. Compared to an existing Transformer-based model, the proposed model requires only 29.4% of the number of parameters, with minimal modifications to the original Transformer architecture. Despite the architectural simplicity, the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art methods for various property regression tasks on the Materials Project and JARVIS-DFT datasets.

AI generates virtual 3D cities that extend infinitely in any direction
An artificial intelligence called InfiniCity can build virtual cities that extend in all directions seemingly without end. It could lead to virtual reality worlds that millions of people can interact in or be used for training driverless cars how to cope with new surroundings. Creating detailed three-dimensional environments can be an intensive process. Making ones that represent the real world requires collecting a huge amount of real-world data, for example by Google's Street View cars.
Hitting the Books: How to build a music recommendation 'information-space-beast'
As of October, singers, songwriters and music makers are uploading 100,000 new songs every day to streaming services like Spotify. That is too much music. There's no reality, alternate or otherwise, wherein someone could conceivably listen to all that even in a thousand lifetimes. Whether you're into Japanese noise, Russian hardcore, Senegalese afro-house, Swedish doom metal, or Bay Area hip hop, the sheer scale of available listening options is paralyzing. It's a monumental problem that data scientist Glenn McDonald is working to solve.

Are Robots And AI Really Going To Displace All Workers? Probably Not – OpEd
Among the components of the World Economic Forum's Great Resetare a drastically reduced population and the replacement of human labor with robots and artificial intelligence (AI). The question immediately comes to mind: can robots and AI really make all the stuff for the elites after they have gotten rid of the people? Because a plan has been formulated and described does not mean that it is possible to realize. The plan may contradict laws of logic or reality, or assume the existence of resources that do not exist. Podcaster and journalist James Delingpole, speaking to investigative journalist Whitney Webb on October 23, 2021, discussed this topic with his guest. One of the main pillars of that is automation and artificial intelligence.

Romeo and Juliet remixed: how technology can change storytelling
A product built to shuffle characters and events and generate narrative possibilities in real time, dancers using it brought a new version of the classic tragedy to life. The one-off production, R J RMX, was filmed for the Opera House's streaming platform. The "remix" was interactive: audience members were sent to a website where they could restructure the play with the touch of a button, while on stage narrators and dancers ran through numerous renditions of the story. The works of Shakespeare, surely more than those of any other writer, have been subject to interminable reworkings, as if we are at once infinitely fascinated and infinitely dissatisfied with the source material. So how does technology alter this process?
Trust in the Machine: The Exponential Rise of Human AI in Banking
Our entire lives, both inside and outside work, are dictated by the decisions that we make. In the main, we're hardwired to subconsciously learn from our mistakes, to avoid bad decisions and to question how we'd improve our decision-making if faced with similar scenarios in the future. AI (artificial intelligence) brains are, by and large, programmed the same way as a human brain. Advanced AI and deep learning are built to learn from human decisions, ask the same questions and reinforce the same principles. And the more seamlessly human that AI becomes, the more we can connect and relate to this incredible technology and the more we can trust it to sharpen and improve our decision-making and, ultimately, our lives.
Missing in the future of jobs debate: the elasticity of human needs FactorDaily
There is a lot of debate on whether Industry 4.0 with a strong underpinning of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning is going to result in large-scale unemployment. This seems a bit odd because neither technology nor automation is a 21st-century phenomenon! They are as old as humanity itself, and if this appears an exaggeration, then they are at least as old as the industrial revolution at least. The battle between man and machines goes back centuries. At one point of time, the worry was what would happen if spinning machines replaced weavers and if steam engines took the place of horse carriages.

Explainable Deterministic MDPs
We present a method for a certain class of Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) that can relate the optimal policy back to one or more reward sources in the environment. For a given initial state, without fully computing the value function, q-value function, or the optimal policy the algorithm can determine which rewards will and will not be collected, whether a given reward will be collected only once or continuously, and which local maximum within the value function the initial state will ultimately lead to. We demonstrate that the method can be used to map the state space to identify regions that are dominated by one reward source and can fully analyze the state space to explain all actions. We provide a mathematical framework to show how all of this is possible without first computing the optimal policy or value function.

FinTech, AI and the fourth Industrial Age
Mobile World Congress turned 30 in February 2017 and heralded the elemental role of mobile as the primary force behind every emerging innovation. Though the role mobility has played in people's daily lives cannot be understated, the next iteration of technology's impact will be far more transformational. Society is at the precipice of the fourth Industrial Age and the rise of the era augmented intelligence and cognitive computing. What does this mean for the financial services industry? Financial institutions are challenged with innovating a century-old service model.
