Nina Miolane, Asst Prof at UCSB, presented this fascinating segmentation of the last 500 years of scientific discovery into broad eras based on the overall method used to make progress. Is AI really ushering in a new era of science, or is AI just an improved tool in the era of data-driven science?

How does AI memorize information? How does ChatGPT remember your name? How do RNNs keep track of simple numbers? Our new paper led by Bariscan Kurtkaya & Fatih Dinc explores the geometry of short-term memory in neural networks—revealing limits in how information is stored!🧵 arxiv.org/abs/2502.17433
