It’s only a matter of time before Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill are playing Big Law partners. In job interviews with half a dozen law firms last year, Zev Eigen quizzed firm leaders as much as they probed him. They wondered what a data scientist with a Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology could do for them. He...

The Extraordinary Link Between Deep Neural Networks and the Nature of the Universe
November 5, 2016
Nobody understands why deep neural networks are so good at solving complex problems. Now physicists say the secret is buried in the laws of physics. In the last couple of years, deep learning techniques have transformed the world of artificial intelligence. One by one, the abilities and techniques that humans once imagined were uniquely our own have begun to fall to the onslaught of ever more powerful machines. Deep neural networks are now better than humans at tasks such as face recognition and object...

Artificial Intelligence Learns the Stock Market
October 29, 2016
