Can a computer write a sonnet as well as Shakespeare?
AI or not AI: that is the question.
ColorUNet: A new deep CNN classification approach to colorization
A team of researchers at Stanford University has recently developed a CNN classification method to colorize grayscale images. The tool they devised, called ColorUNet, draws inspiration from U-Net, a fully convolutional network for image segmentation.
An evaluation of machine learning to identify bacteraemia in SIRS patients
A team of researchers at the Medical University of Vienna has recently evaluated the effectiveness of machine learning strategies to identify bacteraemia in patients affected by systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). Their study, published in Scientific...
A new approximate computing approach using CNNs
Researchers at Fukuoka University, in Japan, have recently proposed a design methodology for configurable approximate arithmetic circuits. As part of their study, published on ResearchGate, they applied their method to a prototype system for image processing that...
A new coded caching scheme to improve online video delivery
Researchers at Imperial College London have developed a new method for coded caching that could improve the delivery of popular video content online. A research paper outlining their findings was pre-published on arXiv, outlining the technique and its performance in...
A new complex network-based approach to topic modeling
Researchers at Northwestern University, the University of Bath, and the University of Sydney have developed a new network approach to topic models, machine learning strategies that can discover abstract topics and semantic structures within text documents.
A new defensive technique could hold off attackers by making software buggier
Researchers at New York University have recently devised a new cyber defense technique, which works by adding so-called "chaff bugs," non-exploitable bugs, rather than eliminating existing ones. A pre-print version of their inventive study was uploaded to ArXiv last...
A new map management process for visual localization in outdoor environments
Researchers at ETH Zürich's Autonomous Systems Lab have recently developed a map management process for visual localization systems, specifically designed for operations in outdoor environments involving several vehicles. Their study, presented at this year's...
A new method to instill curiosity in reinforcement learning agents
Several real-world tasks have sparse rewards and this poses challenges for the development of reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms. A solution to this problem is to allow an agent to autonomously create a reward for itself, making rewards denser and more suitable...
