Researchers at King Saud University, in Saudi Arabia, have developed a new approach to detect cyberbullying on Twitter using deep learning called OCDD. In contrast with other deep-learning approaches, which extract features from tweets and feed them to a classifier,...

AD-EYE: A co-simulation platform to verify functional safety concepts (FSCs) in self-driving vehicles
Over the past few years, a growing number of researchers and companies worldwide have been developing techniques for automated driving. Before self-driving vehicles can be introduced on real roads, however, their efficiency and safety will need to be ascertained.
A dialogue system to enhance goal-oriented human-robot interactions
Researchers at SUNY Binghamton, Cleveland State University and the University of Washington have recently developed a new dialogue system that could improve human-robot interactions. This system, presented in a paper pre-published on arXiv, is designed to learn...
Researchers develop a fleet of 16 miniature cars for cooperative driving experiments
A team of researchers at The University of Cambridge has recently introduced a unique experimental testbed that could be used for experiments in cooperative driving. This testbed, presented in a paper pre-published on arXiv, consists of 16 miniature Ackermann-steering...
An approach for securing audio classification against adversarial attacks
Adversarial audio attacks are small perturbations that are not perceivable by humans and are intentionally added to audio signals to impair the performance of machine learning (ML) models. These attacks raise serious concerns about the security of ML models, as they...
Evolving neural networks with a linear growth in their behavior complexity
Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are designed to replicate the behavior and evolution of biological organisms while solving computing problems. In recent years, many researchers have developed EAs and used them to tackle a variety of optimization tasks.
Spintronic memory cells for neural networks
In recent years, researchers have proposed a wide variety of hardware implementations for feed-forward artificial neural networks. These implementations include three key components: a dot-product engine that can compute convolution and fully-connected layer...
DeepEyedentification: identifying people based on micro eye movements
Past cognitive psychology research suggests that eye movements can differ substantially from one individual to another. Interestingly, these individual characteristics in eye movements have been found to be relatively stable over time and largely independent of what...
Enhancing the locomotion of small robots with microwheels
Microbots could have several useful applications, particularly within biomedical and healthcare settings. For instance, due to their small size, these small machines could be inserted within the human body, allowing doctors to remotely carry out exams or operate...
A new approach for modeling central pattern generators (CPGs) in reinforcement learning
Central pattern generators (CPGs) are biological neural circuits that can produce coordinated rhythmic outputs without requiring rhythmic inputs. CPGs are responsible for most rhythmic motions observed in living organisms, such as walking, breathing or swimming.
