Researchers at the Centre for Information Technology and Architecture (CITA) of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and at the Danish Technological Institute have developed a new hybrid construction concept called "Sparse Concrete Reinforcement In Meshworks"...
SLAP: Simultaneous Localization and Planning for autonomous robots
Researchers at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Texas A&M University, and Carnegie Mellon University recently carried out a research project aimed at enabling simultaneous localization and planning (SLAP) capabilities in autonomous robots. Their paper, published...
A new machine learning strategy that could enhance computer vision
Researchers from the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, Carnegie Mellon University and International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad, India, have developed a technique that could allow deep learning algorithms to learn the visual features of images in a...
Story ending generation using incremental encoding
Researchers at the AI Lab of Tsinghua University have recently developed an incremental encoder-based model that can generate story endings. An incremental encoder is a type of encoding compression algorithm that is often used to compress sorted data, such as lists of...
Improbotics: Bringing machine intelligence into improvised theatre
An unconventional company called HumanMachine has recently devised a unique theatre production called Improbotics, which involves both human performers and machines. This is the latest of a series of projects and initiatives that merge the world of theatre with...
Researchers use machine learning to analyse movie preferences
Could behavioural economics and machine learning help to better understand consumers' movie preferences? A team of researchers from the University of Cambridge, the University of West England, and the Alan Turing Institute dove deeper into this question, in a...
Modelling the loop between opinion formation and personalized recommendations
Researchers at the University of Twente and CNRS have recently carried out a study that explores the relationship between users' opinions and the personalized recommendations they receive online. In their paper, which was pre-published on arXiv, they proposed a model...
Using ablation to examine the structure of artificial neural networks
A team of researchers at RWTH Aachen University's Institute of Information Management in Mechanical Engineering have recently explored the use of neuroscience techniques to determine how information is structured inside artificial neural networks (ANNs). In their...
Motion planning for automated driving under uncertainty and with limited visibility
Researchers at the FZI Research Center for Information Technology have developed a new method that could improve the motion planning of autonomous vehicles within uncertain environments or in conditions of limited visibility. Their paper, pre-published on arXiv,...
