BitNet: Bit-Regularized Deep Neural Networks
We present a novel optimization strategy for training neural networks which we call “BitNet”. Our key idea is to limit the expressive power of the network by dynamically controlling the range and set of values that the parameters can take.

Early Lessons Launching Open Education Resource Degrees in Community Colleges
SRI recently released our first report on the Open Education Resource (OER) Degree Initiative, an effort led by Achieving the Dream (ATD), a network of more than 200 community colleges, to boost college access and student success. The program supports the redesign of courses needed for a degree using OER materials in place of proprietary…

Closing the Floodgate with Stateless Content-Centric Networking
Abstract Information-Centric Networking (ICN) is a recent paradigm that claims to mitigate some limitations of the current IP-based Internet architecture. The centerpiece of ICN is named and addressable content, rather than hosts or interfaces. Content- Centric Networking (CCN) is a prominent ICN instance that shares the fundamental architectural design with its equally popular academic sibling…

The Mad Science behind Autonomy and AI in the Military
While the U.S. military is laser focused on day-to-day operations, it always has an eye on the future. More specifically, on how to encourage innovation and leverage technologies, products and approaches that can better ensure mission success. This past spring I had the pleasure of speaking at the Mad Scientist Conference on Robotics, Artificial Intelligence…

Promising Model for Supporting Beginning Teachers
Imagine being a new teacher, thrust into your first classroom and given sole responsibility for managing the students, planning and executing the lessons, and assessing student learning. Imagine your first teaching experience being in a school with high teacher turnover, high student mobility, and limited resources to support you, working with students whose needs—financial and…
