A study by Prof. Ido Kanter, of the Bar-Ilan Department of Physics and Gonda Multidisciplinary Brain Research Center, found that the human brain’s wide, shallow architecture can perform tasks as effectively as the deep learning architecture that AI is based.

Neural network learning techniques stem from the dynamics of the brain. However, brain learning and AI-based deep learning are intrinsically different. One of the most prominent differences is the number of layers each of them utilizes.

Researchers have unveiled the extraordinary behavior of weakly-bound three-atomic molecules, defying conventional understanding of quantum mechanics.

The maritime border agreement signed by Israel and Lebanon in October 2022 constituted a significant development in the relationship between the two countries. The potential for natural gas exploration in Lebanon’s waters, against the background of the economic and political crisis in that country, was seen at the time as a tempting incentive with which to persuade Hezbollah to agree to the pact.

Amid rising global antisemitism, which has prompted many Jews to question their inclusion in academic institutions where they previously felt secure, Bar-Ilan University is launching a fresh alternative -- five new multilingual undergraduate programs and one graduate degree option – to encourage international and immigrant students to take advantage of a top education on a vibrant, inclusive campus – at a fraction of the cost.
