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...
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...
A new developmental framework could allow robots to optimize hyper-parameters autonomously
Researchers at Ecole Centrale de Lyon have recently devised a new developmental framework inspired by the long-term memory and reasoning mechanisms of humans. This framework, outlined in a paper...
A new dynamic ensemble active learning method based on a non-stationary bandit
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh, University College London (UCL) and Nara Institute of Science and Technology have developed a new ensemble active learning approach based on a...
A new framework for vision-based aggressive driving
Researchers at the Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Machines (IRIM) of the Georgia Institute of Technology have recently proposed a new framework for aggressive driving using only a monocular...
A new map management process for visual localization in outdoor environments
Researchers at ETH Zürich's Autonomous Systems Lab have recently developed a map management process for visual localization systems, specifically designed for operations in outdoor environments...
A new method to instill curiosity in reinforcement learning agents
Several real-world tasks have sparse rewards and this poses challenges for the development of reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms. A solution to this problem is to allow an agent to autonomously...
A new reconfiguration strategy for modular robots inspired by origami folding
Researchers at the Reconfigurable Robotics Lab (RRL) of École Polytechnique Fédèrale de Lausanne (EPFL) have recently developed a new approach for the reconfiguration of modular robots that is...
A new robot capable of learning ownership relations and norms
A team of researchers at Yale University has recently developed a robotic system capable of representing, learning and inferring ownership relations and norms. Their study, pre-published on arXiv,...
A new roving biologger that travels along a sperm whale’s body surface
A team of researchers at Yamagata University and Teikyo University of Science, in Japan, have recently developed a new roving biologger, or whale rover, which can travel along a sperm whale's body...
