Artificial Neural Network Language Models Predict Human Brain Responses to Language Even After a Developmentally Realistic Amount of Training by Hosseini, Eghbal A., Schrimpf, Martin, Zhang, Yian, Bowman, Samuel, Zaslavsky, Noga, Fedorenko, Evelina

“…We consider the 100-million-word model to be developmentally plausible in terms of the amount of training data given that this amount is similar to what children are estimated to be exposed to during the first 10 years of life. Second, we test the performance of a GPT-2 model trained on a 9-billion-token dataset to reach state-of-the-art next-word prediction performance on the human benchmark at different stages during training. …”

From Shipyard to Sea: A Flexible System Design Approach to the Transition from Shipbuilding to Operations A Case Study Using the United States Coast Guard Offshore Patrol Cutter P... by Kime, Jeremy A.

“…The analysis recommends a three-phased strategy that could yield cost savings on the order of $400 million over the OPC Program’s lifespan, significantly mitigate risks associated with unforeseen shipbuilding developments, and enhance organizational outcomes regarding workforce, operational availability, and life cycle sustainment. The staffing of pre-commissioning crews is pinpointed as a pivotal discretionary event that triggers an exponential increase in system complexity and a surge in scope by introducing interdependent yet organizationally disparate requirements. …”
