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...
AI-assisted note-taking for electronic health records
Physicians currently spend a lot of time writing notes about patients and inserting them into electronic health record (EHR) systems. According to a 2016 study, doctors spend approximately two hours on administrative work for every hour spent with a patient. Thanks to...
A light-weight and accurate deep learning model for audiovisual emotion recognition
Researchers at Orange Labs and Normandie University have developed a novel deep neural model for audiovisual emotion recognition that performs well with small training sets. Their study, which was pre-published on arXiv, follows a philosophy of simplicity,...
A new strategy to correct imperfections in occupancy grid maps
Researchers at Laboratório de Computação de Alto Desempenho (LCAD) of Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo (UFES), in Brazil, have devised a novel strategy for correcting imperfections in occupancy grid maps by correcting invalid occupancy probabilities of map cells...
Detecting fake face images created by both humans and machines
Researchers at the State University of New York in Korea have recently explored new ways to detect both machine and human-created fake images of faces. In their paper, published in ACM Digital Library, the researchers used ensemble methods to detect images created by...
Identifying deep network generated images using disparities in color components
Researchers at Shenzhen University have recently devised a method to detect images generated by deep neural networks. Their study, pre-published on arXiv, identified a set of features to capture color image statistics that can detect images generated using current...
Using deep neural networks to hunt malicious TLS certificates
A team of researchers at Cyxtera Technologies has recently proposed a neural network-based method for identifying malicious use of web certificates. Their approach, outlined in a paper published in ACM Digital Library, uses the content of transport layer security...
