Known formally as Natural Language Understanding (NLU), early attempts (as recently as the 1980s) to give computers the ability to interpret human text were comically terrible. But in just the last few years, software developers in the field of NLU…
A novel machine learning model developed by researchers at Michigan State University suggests that mutations to the SARS-CoV-2 genome have made the virus more infectious. The model, developed by lead researcher Professor Guowei Wei, analyzed SARS-CoV-2 genotyping from more than…
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…
