Decoding Molecular Intelligence: How Transformers Learn Chemistry

December 11, 2025 by BBG News

Molecular transformers exhibit specialized attention heads capable of discerning and balancing syntactical elements within SMILES notations-specifically, ring digits and branch parentheses-as evidenced by the consistent performance of the L2H7 head in identifying ring openers at increasing distances and the L2H3 head’s focus on opening parentheses at branch closures, demonstrating a capacity for nuanced syntactic understanding beyond simple tokenization.

New research reveals the inner workings of molecular transformers, demonstrating their ability to learn interpretable rules for generating valid chemical structures.

RoboCup Champions: Engineering a Soccer-Playing Humanoid

December 11, 2025 by BBG News

The system demonstrates a full-stack soccer capability, achieving both close-range interactions with opposing robots and strategic navigation to bypass defenders and deliver kicks-ranging from powerful short-distance shots to long-range attempts-while also exhibiting cooperative team behavior during kick-offs, all validated through pseudo-game testing with randomized opponent and ball positions to assess overall performance.

This review details the architecture and implementation of ARTEMIS, a humanoid robot system that recently secured a championship win at RoboCup 2024 through advanced integration of perception, planning, and control.

How We See AI: Beliefs About Mind and Machine

December 11, 2025 by BBG News

Perceived autonomy and sentience significantly influenced evaluations across multiple moral dimensions-including mind perception, perceived harm, moral treatment, and scope of justice-as demonstrated by statistically significant effects ($p < .05$ or $p < .01$); notably, caution toward artificial intelligence was uniquely heightened by perceptions of sentience, suggesting that as AI is attributed with cognitive or emotional states, concerns regarding its potential impact correspondingly increase, despite variations in perceived agency.

New research reveals that our reactions to artificial intelligence are deeply shaped by how we perceive its capacity for autonomy and sentience.

From Human Hands to Robotic Action: Bridging the Gap with Video Translation

December 11, 2025 by BBG News

The system learns to bridge the gap between human observation and robotic action through a three-stage process: first, it gathers data from existing robot videos; then, a video generation model is refined using this data; and finally, this learned understanding is transferred to enable robot manipulation based on observations from diverse human video sources, acknowledging that all systems, even those mimicking life, are subject to the inevitable passage from one state to the next.

Researchers have developed a new framework that allows robots to learn complex manipulation tasks simply by watching human demonstrations, without the need for painstakingly labeled training data.

Hidden Allies: How AI Teammates Can Boost Collaborative Learning

December 11, 2025 by BBG News

Embedded within collaborative exchanges, an agentic AI assumes alternating supportive and contrarian personas, governed by a probabilistic schedule managing response timing and frequency to simulate natural participation-a system designed not for immediate task completion, but for graceful integration into the decaying structure of ongoing conversation.

New research explores how generative AI, designed as subtle collaborators with distinct personalities, can reshape group learning dynamics and improve knowledge construction.

The Rise of Algorithm Teams: AI Designs AI for Complex Problems

December 11, 2025 by BBG News

The framework integrates swarm intelligence optimization-illustrated by algorithms like the Fireworks Algorithm-with large language model-driven prompt template evolution, fostering a co-evolutionary process where iterative algorithmic refinement and automated prompt generation dynamically interact, potentially maintaining multiple distinct prompt template pools to enhance performance.

A new framework harnesses the power of large language models to simultaneously optimize both problem-solving algorithms and the prompts that guide them, leading to enhanced performance on challenging optimization tasks.
