A new study from the University of Helsinki shows that nests of farmland birds can be located using a drone in combination with artificial intelligence (AI). Researchers flew a drone carrying a thermal camera over agricultural fields to record images.…
Today’s robots mostly rely on vision and touch to operate in their environments, but this could change with new research coming out of Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). A group of researchers found that robot perception could improve through hearing. Using…
A volt transmission failure in Sonoma County is considered the cause of the Kincade Fire, which burned 77,000 acres of forest and destroyed over 120 buildings. To reduce the likelihood of a fault leading to evacuations and destruction, Buzz Solutions…
Deep learning technology based on retinal scans was shown to be a good indicator of cardiovascular health and a predictor of potential heart attacks, and supremely accurate at indicating diabetes with the addition of expert assessment. The most-quoted example of…
A novel precision medicine approach enhanced by artificial intelligence (AI) has laid the groundwork for what could be the first biomedical screening and intervention tool for a subtype of autism, reports a new study. “Previously, autism subtypes have been defined…
Traditional storage and database systems are designed to work for a wide range of applications because of how long it can take to build them. As a first step toward this vision, Kraska and colleagues developed Tsunami and Bao. Tsunami…
The big question is whether OpenAI has now surpassed DeepMind, which rose to fame in 2016 when it produced AlphaGo software that learned how to play the board game Go and grew better than any human player. Instead, DeepMind has…
Scientists and engineers have long sought to harness this power by designing artificial proteins that can perform new tasks, like treat disease, capture carbon, or harvest energy, but many of the processes designed to create such proteins are slow and…
With that challenge in mind, scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology unveiled a machine learning approach that can predict the probability that a vaccine design will reach a certain proportion of the population. “While they may protect more than 50%…
The increasing importance of addressing individual choices for business conversion has forced many companies to focus on data-driven personalization measures. AI can dig the available user data deeper and fetch out relevant patterns and insights that can be further utilized…
