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...
Researchers compile a new database of executable Python code snippets on GitHub
A team of researchers at North Carolina State University has recently carried out an empirical analysis of the executable status of Python code snippets shared on GitHub. Their study, pre-published on arXiv, also presents Gistable, a new database of executable Python...
An intuitive physics model to predict the effects of a collision
Humans have the innate ability to predict the effect of collisions, merely using their common sense. In many cases, humans can even predict the results of similar collisions in situations in which mass, friction, or other factors vary. Could machines also attain a...
Computer vision in the dark using recurrent CNNs
Over the past few years, classical convolutional neural networks (cCNNs) have led to remarkable advances in computer vision. Many of these algorithms can now categorize objects in good quality images with high accuracy.
A new approach for designing and implementing a hybrid systems language
Hybrid systems are systems that exhibit both continuous and discrete dynamic behavior, allowing more flexibility in modeling dynamic phenomena. Hybrid systems modeling languages are widely used for the development of cyber-physical systems, in which control software...
