What's a logarithmic curve and how does it help explain the …
2020年4月3日 · A logarithmic graph can also help make it clear if the apparent evening-out of the curve started to change. While a linear curve would keep on pushing ever higher regardless, the logarithmic graph would highlight any substantial changes to …
GDP: What is it and why does it matter? - The World Economic …
2022年5月19日 · GDP has been used as a measure of economic growth since 1937. But the need for wellbeing metrics is bringing its relevance into question. Know what is GDP and why it matters.
What 'systems thinking' actually means - and why it matters today
2021年1月18日 · For starters, this philosophy needs to enter our everyday thinking. Yes, it is crucial for innovation, but an easy first step is to use systems thinking casually throughout your life.
Cybersecurity must begin with hardware. Here's why
2019年12月19日 · The staggering growth of microprocessor complexity since 1970 (note the logarithmic y-axis) Image: Karl Rupp et al. Reducing feature size has been so successful that the semiconductor industry is now facing a barrier in the underlying physics; further attempts at decreasing size will increasingly result in unwanted quantum mechanical effects.
What would it take to make AI ‘greener’? - The World Economic …
2021年9月24日 · Yet, the relationship between model accuracy and complexity is logarithmic. For exponential increases in model size and training requirements, there are linear improvements to performance. In the hunt for accuracy, less priority is given to developing methods with improved time-to-train or resource efficiency.
Climate change: How expensive is renewable energy? | World …
2020年12月4日 · On a logarithmic axis a measure that declines exponentially follows a straight line. This straight line that represents the relationship between experience – measured as the cumulative installed capacity of the technology – and the price of that technology is called the learning curve of that technology.
6 expert essays on the future of biotech | World Economic Forum
2020年1月23日 · With this enhanced ability to receive more granular, high quality clinical information comes an opportunity and a challenge. In the future, the ability to leverage the power of computational modeling, artificial intelligence will facilitate a logarithmic explosion of clinically relevant correlations.
The links between economic growth and social progress
2017年9月1日 · Log10GCI is constructed by taking logarithm to the power 10 of the values of GCI. The logic for using logarithm is simple: by first constructing a graphic representation of the data (GCI vs SPI) we have observed a non-linear (exponential) pattern; logarithmic transformation was applied to linearise the relationship.
What is COVID-19's R number – and why does it matter?
2020年5月8日 · There are a number of ways to calculate R, as Wired notes.One is by monitoring hospitalisation and death figures to get a sense of how many people have the virus – but the problem with this is that, since the virus’s incubation period is so long, it only gives an accurate picture of a few weeks ago.
The history of AI systems and how they might look in the future
2022年12月12日 · The training computation is plotted on a logarithmic scale, so that from each grid-line to the next it shows a 100-fold increase. This long-run perspective shows a continuous increase. For the first six decades, training computation increased in line with Moore’s Law, doubling roughly every 20 months. Since about 2010 this exponential growth ...
