Multi-layer Perceptrons (MLPs) are the most fundamental type of neural network, so they play an important role in many machine learning systems and are the most theoretically studied type of neural network. A new paper from researchers at ETH Zurich pushes the limits of pure MLPs, and shows that scaling them up allows much better performance than expected from MLPs in the past. These findings may have important implications for the study of inductive biases, the theory of deep learning, and neural scaling laws.

Hitachi Vantara’s State of Data Infrastructure Sustainability Report
June 17, 2023 by Leave a Comment
U.S. businesses have made sustainability a priority, with nearly four in five companies saying that they have developed plans for achieving carbon neutrality (78%) and net zero carbon emissions (79%), according to the State of Data Infrastructure Sustainability, a new report from our friends over at Hitachi Vantara, the modern infrastructure, data management and digital solutions subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE: 6501). However, despite this and the fact that 85% of respondents claim to be “on plan” or “ahead of plan” when it comes to their carbon reduction goals, the survey revealed that actual progress may not be as robust as many businesses believe.
