A team of researchers from the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), Yonsei University, and the Max Planck Institute have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) technique that brings machine vision closer to how the human brain processes images. Called Lp-Convolution, this method improves the accuracy and efficiency of image recognitionContinue Reading
One of the current hot research topics is the combination of two of the most recent technological breakthroughs: machine learning and quantum computing. An experimental study shows that already small-scale quantum computers can boost the performance of machine learning algorithms. This was demonstrated on a photonic quantum processor by anContinue Reading
Programmers can now use large language models (LLMs) to generate computer code more quickly. However, this only makes programmers’ lives easier if that code follows the rules of the programming language and doesn’t cause a computer to crash. Some methods exist for ensuring LLMs conform to the rules of whateverContinue Reading
The ambiguity in medical imaging can present major challenges for clinicians who are trying to identify disease. For instance, in a chest X-ray, pleural effusion, an abnormal buildup of fluid in the lungs, can look very much like pulmonary infiltrates, which are accumulations of pus or blood. An artificial intelligenceContinue Reading
A team of researchers from the University of Waterloo have created a method that makes virtual reality (VR) more accessible to people with mobility limitations. VR games like Beat Saber and Space Pirate Trainer usually require large and dramatic movements, such as raising one’s arms above the head or quicklyContinue Reading
State and local agencies spend approximately $1.23 billion annually to operate and maintain signalized traffic intersections. On the other end, traffic congestion at intersections costs drivers about $22 billion annually. Implementing an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered detection-based solution can significantly mitigate congestion at intersections and reduce operation and maintenance costs. In thisContinue Reading
Mario Tama/Getty Images News The New York Times (NYSE:NYT) reportedly plans to make some of its top podcasts subscribers-only, adding some new pressure to sign up for its digital services. The publisher’s popular true-crime podcast Serial would move entirely behind its paywall in the plans, The Wall Street Journal reported.Continue Reading
