A new model to retrieve images based on sketches
In recent years, researchers have been developing increasingly advanced computational techniques, such as deep learning algorithms, to complete a variety of tasks. One task that they have been trying to address is known as "sketch-based image retrieval" (SBIR).
A new non-fullerene acceptor for indoor solar energy applications
Organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells, a third-generation solar cell technology that can convert solar energy into electricity, have been found to be more efficient than silicon cells under low light intensity indoor LED illumination. These cells have also shown great...
A new robot for artistic grayscale painting
A team of researchers at St. Petersburg Electrotechnical University (ETU-LETI) and Ural Federal University (URFU) has recently created a new robotic setup for realistic grayscale painting. The project's lead developer, Dr. Artur Karimov, is a professional artist...
An AI-based recommendation system for internship placements
Choosing an internship placement is a key step for many students, as an internship can have a substantial impact on their professional development. Researchers at Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha, in Indonesia, have recently developed an AI-based recommendation system...
A new smartphone user authentication system based on gait analysis
A team of researchers at the University of Pretoria and City University of Hong Kong has recently developed a continuous smartphone user authentication system based on gait analysis. This system, outlined in a paper presented at the 44th annual conference of the IEEE...
An approach for motion planning on asteroid surfaces with irregular gravity fields
Asteroids are small, rocky bodies orbiting the sun that are too small to be called planets. There are millions of asteroids in the solar system, ranging in size, shape and composition. The exploration of asteroids could help to uncover fascinating information about...
An approach to enhance machine learning explanations
Researchers at IBM Research UK, the U.S. Military Academy and Cardiff University have recently proposed a new approach to improve the sensitivity of LIME (Local Interpretable Model Agnostic Explanations), a technique for attaining a better understanding ofthe...
An architecture to enable the collaborative coexistence of cognitive radio networks in TVWS
A team of researchers at Yale University, Virginia Tech, Temple University and Peking University has recently developed a new approach to enable the collaborative coexistence of cognitive radio (CR) networks over TV white space (TVWS). The term TVWS refers to unused...
This assistive robot is controlled via brain-computer interface
Researchers at the University of Cassino and Southern Lazio, in Italy, have recently developed a cutting-edge architecture that enables the operation of an assistive robot via a P300-based brain computer interface (BCI). This architecture, presented in a paper...
