Networked UAV Defense Swarms to defend against malicious drones
A team of researchers at the University of Luxembourg have developed a new feasible and efficient defense system for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). Their system, outlined in a paper pre-published on arXiv, consists of a defense UAV swarm that can self-organize its...
Neural net activations are aligned with gamma band activity of the human visual cortex
Researchers at the University of Tartu's Computational Neuroscience Lab, in Estonia, have discovered that activations of deep convolutional neural networks are aligned with the gamma band activity of the human visual cortex. Their study, published in Communications...
New real-time localization and mapping tools for robotics, VR, and AR
A large group of researchers at Imperial College London, the University of Edinburgh, the University of Manchester, and Stanford University have recently collaborated on a project exploring the application of real-time localization and mapping tools for robotics,...
Redirect2Own: A new approach to protect the intellectual property of user-uploaded content
Every day, millions of users upload content on social media media platforms, including text, pictures and videos. While the creators of this content typically retain intellectual property (IP) rights once it is shared online, they often grant services hosting the...
Story ending generation using incremental encoding
Researchers at the AI Lab of Tsinghua University have recently developed an incremental encoder-based model that can generate story endings. An incremental encoder is a type of encoding compression algorithm that is often used to compress sorted data, such as lists of...
Researchers use machine learning to analyse movie preferences
Could behavioural economics and machine learning help to better understand consumers' movie preferences? A team of researchers from the University of Cambridge, the University of West England, and the Alan Turing Institute dove deeper into this question, in a...
Using ablation to examine the structure of artificial neural networks
A team of researchers at RWTH Aachen University's Institute of Information Management in Mechanical Engineering have recently explored the use of neuroscience techniques to determine how information is structured inside artificial neural networks (ANNs). In their...
DeepMind researchers develop neural arithmetic logic units (NALU)
The ability to represent and manipulate numerical quantities can be observed in many species, including insects, mammals and humans. This suggests that basic quantitative reasoning is an important component of intelligence, which has several evolutionary advantages.
Defense against adversarial attacks using machine learning and cryptography
Researchers at the University of Geneva have recently developed a new defense mechanism that works by bridging machine learning with cryptography. The new system, outlined in a paper pre-published on arXiv, is based on Kerckhoffs' second cryptographic principle, which...
