Over the past decades, computer scientists have created increasingly advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models, some of which can perform similarly to humans on specific tasks. The extent to which these models truly “think” and analyze […]

A particular set of probabilistic inference algorithms common in robotics involve Sequential Monte Carlo methods, also known as “particle filtering,” which approximates using repeated random sampling. (“Particle,” in this context, refers to individual samples.) Traditional […]

What if you could break apart a network like grating cheese—isolating its most crucial elements, fragmenting it into disconnected pieces to reveal where disruptions would be most devastating? That’s the power of fitness centrality, a […]

A team of Italian computer scientists from Sapienza University of Rome and the University of Padova reports that network science can be used to measure the complexity of a piece of music, allowing for comparison […]

In a fascinating blend of technology and artistry, researchers present a study in PeerJ Computer Science, showcasing how humanoid robots can collaborate seamlessly with human musicians during live musical performances. This innovative work highlights the […]

Across the nation, 911 dispatch centers are facing a worker shortage. Unfortunately, this understaffing, plus the nature of the job itself, leads to dispatchers who are often overworked and stressed. Meanwhile, when community members need […]

Researchers have developed a new type of optical memory called a programmable photonic latch that is fast and scalable. This fundamental memory unit enables temporary data storage in optical processing systems, offering a high-speed solution […]

Using deep learning models, scientists at Sharjah University have designed techniques to automatically predict suitable image dimensions to fit different screens or devices far more efficiently and effectively than current technologies used for image cropping […]

A small team of researchers from the U.S. and the U.K. has resurrected the code for a 60-year-old chatbot named ELIZA, believed to be the first electronic chatbot. In their paper posted to the arXiv […]

Reservoir computing (RC) is a powerful machine learning module designed to handle tasks involving time-based or sequential data, such as tracking patterns over time or analyzing sequences. It is widely used in areas such as […]
