Last week, the first of two “?????????? ?????????????????? ??????????????” took place at IBM 's Almaden innovation lab, welcoming executives, researchers, and industry experts to an interactive discussion examining the challenges of #PFAS (“Forever Chemicals”) proliferation and the opportunity to address them with new AI technology across three fronts: – ????????????????????????????: What PFAS exposure do I have in my products, processes and supply chain? – ????????????????????????: How can I find existing, suitable “safer” alternatives? – ??????????????????: If no substitutes exist, how can I develop new replacements? The strategic importance of PFAS identification in manufacturing is now apparent. It’s a massive, complicated challenge where AI can play a crucial role in ???????? ???????????????????? and ????????????????????. The next Safer Materials Workshop will be this Thursday, April 3, 2025, from 9 am to 4 pm (followed by an Apéro riche), at?IBM Research — Zurich?in Rüschlikon, Switzerland.

???I’m?excited to share our newly published paper on AI-driven prediction of influenza antibody activity! This work is the result of a successful collaboration between our?IBM Research?team and the?Cleveland Clinic Florida Research and Innovation Center?team led by Giuseppe Andrea Sautto, PhD, MBA. ???Huge kudos to the incredible researchers behind this study: Ella Barkan, Ibrahim Siddiqui, Kevin Jose Cheng, Alex Golts, Yoel Shoshan, Jeffrey Weber, and Yailin Campos Mota. ???A special thanks to our IBM managers?Efrat Hexter, Wendy Cornell, Michal Rosen-Zvi, and Jianying Hu?for their support in making this study happen! #IBM #IBMResearch #AI #ClevelandClinic ?

AI computing devours energy, not just because of the volume of data involved but also due to ???????? ????????????. Most chips are built on ?????? ?????? ?????????????? ????????????????????????, which separates compute and memory in an arrangement that’s perfect for conventional computing. But when these traditional processors are asked to compute for AI, they run into what’s called the ?????? ?????????????? ???????????????????? – or the lag that happens when data moves slower than computation. Our engineers are exploring ways to complement and overcome the bottleneck with new processors – like ??????'?? ?????? ???????????? ???? ???????????????????????? – designed to break this bottleneck and supercharge AI efficiency. Researchers Manuel Le Gallo-Bourdeau, Geoffrey W. Burr and Sidney Tsai help us navigate the concept: https://ibm.co/4ljKdtU ---- #IBM #Research #AI #Engineering #Compute #Semiconductors

Last week, I had the pleasure of traveling with Arvind Krishna to Japan to meet with key partners such as Rapidus Corporation. The day concluded with a meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, where we emphasized IBM’s strong commitment to our collaboration with Japan in areas such as #semiconductors, #AI, and?#quantum.?Our work with Rapidus Corporation and other partners is of critical importance for IBM and our long-term US-Japan partnership.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1967, IBM discovered a new technique for creating the ?????????? ?????????????????? ?????????? ?????????????? ??????????????????. At the IBM Scientific Center in Houston, Texas, a team of IBM researchers successfully programmed the ?????? ????????????/360 ?????????? 50 ???????????????? to calculate the interference patterns that light waves could produce if reflected from a real object. This new method enabled the computer to generate holograms using mathematical descriptions of the object rather than requiring the real object or actual light waves for holographic production. The creation of holograms numerically by a computer opened the possibility of obtaining 3D pictures of objects that exist only in concept, rather than in physical reality, and this discovery ?????????????? ???????????????? the usefulness of holography in engineering and scientific applications. ?? - For more memorable moments from IBM history, visit and subscribe to the the IBM Research YouTube channel: https://ibm.co/41Wp0xi

Reinforcing IBM's ongoing commitment to open innovation in AI, VP at IBM Research for AI Sriram Raghavan announces the contribution of three AI projects from IBM Research to The Linux Foundation - https://ibm.co/4bHDh5m ?? - ?????????? An open-source platform, powered by the Agent Communication Protocol, that enables developers to discover, run, and compose AI agents from any framework. The project also includes its own, native BeeAI-framework for building agents in #Python or #TypeScript, which is optimized for open-source models. ?? - GitHub: https://ibm.co/4bHDhCo ?? - Linux Foundation AI & Data: https://ibm.co/4bHDi9q ?? - ?????????????? Built to help organizations extract meaningful insights from complex documents, Docling is an open-source package designed to make AI-powered document processing more accessible and efficient. Includes robust support for layout analysis, table extraction, and document conversion. ?? - GitHub: https://ibm.co/4iixbej ?? - Linux Foundation AI & Data: https://ibm.co/4ilfqei ?? - ???????? ???????? ?????? (??????) A community-driven project meant to simplify unstructured data preparation for #LLM application development, addressing the growing challenge of preparing diverse data (language, code, vision, multimodal) for fine-tuning, instruction-tuning, and RAG applications. ?? - Data Prep Kit Git Hub: https://ibm.co/4bHDiGs ?? - Linux Foundation AI & Data: https://ibm.co/4bHDk12 ---- #Research #Developers #Creators #AI | All Things Open Conference

Our Smol model is trending on HF, it’s nice to see that it’s among giants. We already have significant improvements for SmolDocling coming up pretty soon. Check it out and let us know your feedback and what you see needs to be improved. #docling #huggingface #VLMs #IBM
