AI & ML Research

Researchers explored foundational AI concepts and practical engineering challenges. A beginner-friendly guide built intuition around backpropagation, detailing how neural networks learn. In RAG systems, a "loop engineering" approach by focusing on a compact retrieval loop before processing documents. However, the economic viability of AI agents was questioned, as one despite passing all evaluation metrics, costing more than the human roles it was designed to replace.
