Imagine you are in a vast library with no catalog, typing random words into a search bar and hoping to stumble upon the exact book you need. That has been the reality for many roboticists trying to find the right ROS (Robot Operating System) package. With over 7,500 options available, keyword searches often return irrelevant results, wasting developers' precious time and energy.

At the dawn of computing, women were the early adopters of computational technology, working with punch cards in what was then considered secretarial work. As computer science evolved into a prestigious field focused on algorithms and theory, women became—and remained—underrepresented. Today, only 23% of bachelor's and doctoral degrees in computer science are awarded to women, and just 18% of full professors are women—fewer than in the 1980s.

As e-commerce platforms grow ever more reliant on cloud computing, efficiency and sustainability have come to the fore as urgent pressures on development. A study published in the International Journal of Reasoning-based Intelligent Systems has introduced an innovative approach to the problem based on a slime mold algorithm (SMA). The work could improve both performance and energy efficiency for e-commerce systems.

Over the past decades, computer scientists have introduced increasingly sophisticated machine learning-based models, which can perform remarkably well on various tasks. These include multimodal large language models (MLLMs), systems that can process and generate different types of data, predominantly texts, images and videos.

Large visual collections, such as paintings, photographs, drawings, and other forms of visual media, offer valuable insights into historical events, social life, and artistic expression. These collections are key to understanding how societies produce and use images to shape cultural meaning over time. Yet they remain difficult to study due to their sheer size, often consisting of hundreds of thousands of items, and their intrinsic complexity, including diverse visual features, contents, contexts, and metadata structures.

Imagine asking a conversational bot like Claude or ChatGPT a legal question in Greek about local traffic regulations. Within seconds, it replies in fluent Greek with an answer based on UK law. The model understood the language, but not the jurisdiction. This kind of failure illustrates the inability of large language models (LLMs) to understand regional, cultural and, in this case, legal knowledge, while at the same time being proficient in many of the world's languages.
