Artificial intelligence (AI) recently started making its way into many creative industries, for instance, in the form of tools for digital artists, architects, interior designers and image editors. In these contexts, AI can automate processes that are tedious or time...
In recent years, computer scientists have been trying to develop effective models for sentiment analysis. These models are designed to analyze sentences or longer texts and autonomously determine their underlying emotional tone.
Online romance fraud is an increasingly common phenomenon, which can affect people of all ages worldwide. This type of fraud occurs when a malicious individual or members of a criminal organization engage with users online pretending to be romantically interested in...
AI-powered robots are generally trained in simulation environments before they are tested and introduced in real-world settings. These environments allow developers to safely test their machine learning techniques on a variety of robots and in numerous possible...
Mixed reality (MR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies merge the real world with computer-generated elements, allowing users to interact with their surroundings in more engaging ways. In recent years, these technologies have enhanced education and specialized...
Researchers at IBM Research Zürich and ETH Zürich have recently created a new architecture that combines two of the most renowned artificial intelligence approaches, namely deep neural networks and vector-symbolic models. Their architecture, presented in Nature...
Animals have always been a great inspiration for robotic systems, as they offer fascinating natural examples of how different body structures can produce specific movements and locomotion styles. While most animal-inspired robots are inspired by legged animal species,...
Cybercriminals are coming up with increasingly savvy ways to disrupt online services, access sensitive data or crash internet user's devices. A cyber-attack that has become very common over the past decades is the so-called Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack.
Domain adaptation approaches are techniques designed to improve the performance of computational models in specific target domains. These techniques are particularly valuable for tackling problems for which there is only a limited amount of relevant annotated data and...
In recent years, computer scientists have been trying to create increasingly advanced dialogue and information systems. The release of ChatGPT and other highly performing language models are demonstrating just how far artificial intelligence can go in answering user...
