RAG has revolutionised AI by merging search and generation. Agentic behaviour takes this search to the next level by enabling LLMs to make decisions and call tools. At this year's Berlin Buzzwords, Bilge Yücel will discuss how agentic behaviour enhances pipelines, what it means for a system to act as an 'agent', and core concepts such as routing, tool calling and reasoning, along with a live demo.

Opened up YouTube, got nerd sniped with a math problem. After a bad morning, it was the perfect thing to take a break working on. Still haven't watched the actual video, just the thumbnail...will do that once I get off of work to see if we got to the answer the same way (well, the proof that is). #math

SIGIR 2025 -- LiveRAG Challenge Report
The LiveRAG Challenge at SIGIR 2025, held between March and May 2025, provided a competitive platform for advancing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) technologies. Participants from academia and industry were invited to develop a RAG-based question-answering system using a fixed corpus (Fineweb-10BT) and a common open-source LLM (Falcon3-10B-Instruct). The goal was to facilitate challenging comparisons of retrieval and prompting strategies. During the Live Challenge Day, 70 teams from 27 dif…

Großbritannien: 100.000 Drohnen für Ukraine bis April 2026

Topological weight and structural diversity of polydisperse chromatin loop networks
Current biophysical models for transcriptionally active chromatin view this as a polymer with sticky sites, mimicking transcription units such as promoters and enhancers which interact via the binding of multivalent complexes of chromatin-binding proteins. It has been demonstrated that this model spontaneously leads to microphase separation, resulting in the formation of a network of loops with transcription units serving as anchors. Here, we demonstrate how to compute the topological weights o…
