When scraping orchestration is the wrong abstraction for LLM workflows

LLM apps often need structured web data, not a scraping platform. Here's how to choose between orchestration and a simple extraction API.…

Meet Hilma af Klint, the Occultist Who Believed Otherworldly Spirits Told Her What to Paint. Now, She's Considered One of History's First Abstract Artists

The Swedish painter created bold, vibrant works as early as 1906—several years before contemporaries like Wassily Kandinsky. A new exhibition in France celebrates her sweeping "Pai…

Parallel LLM Reasoning for Bias-Resilient, Robust Conceptual Abstraction

Large language models (LLMs) have been increasingly used to analyze text. However, they are often plagued with contextual reasoning limitations when analyzing long documents. When …

Smaller Abstract State Spaces Enable Cross-Scale Generalization in Reinforcement Learning

While humans readily generalize abstract concepts to more complex or larger tasks, building Reinforcement Learning (RL) systems with this ability remains elusive. Here, we present …

Domain-Independent Game Abstraction using Word Embedding Techniques

Many games of interest in the real world are often intractably large, thereby necessitating the use of game abstraction to shrink them in size, typically by many magnitudes. Over t…

Structure Abstraction and Generalization in a Hippocampal-Entorhinal Inspired World Model

Humans abstract experiences into structured representations to facilitate pattern inference and knowledge transfer. While the hippocampal-entorhinal (HPC-MEC) circuit is known to r…
