Published Seeking social proximity improves flight routes among pigeons
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A new study looked at the social influences on pigeon flight routes. Comparing the flight patterns of pairs of pigeons to a computer model, the researcher found that flight paths are improved as younger birds learn the route from older birds and also make route improvements, leading to overall more efficient routes over generations.
Published AIs are irrational, but not in the same way that humans are
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Large Language Models behind popular generative AI platforms like ChatGPT gave different answers when asked to respond to the same reasoning test and didn't improve when given additional context, finds a new study.
Published Using AI to decode dog vocalizations
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Have you ever wished you could understand what your dog is trying to say to you? Researchers are exploring the possibilities of AI, developing tools that can identify whether a dog's bark conveys playfulness or aggression.
Published New model allows a computer to understand human emotions
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have developed a model that enables computers to interpret and understand human emotions, utilizing principles of mathematical psychology. In the future, the model can help the computer to adapt its own behavior and guide an irritated or anxious user in different ways. The implications of such technology are profound, offering a glimpse into a future where computers are not merely tools, but empathetic partners in user interaction.
Published New open-source platform allows users to evaluate performance of AI-powered chatbots
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have developed a platform for the interactive evaluation of AI-powered chatbots such as ChatGPT. A team of computer scientists, engineers, mathematicians and cognitive scientists developed an open-source evaluation platform called CheckMate, which allows human users to interact with and evaluate the performance of large language models (LLMs).
Published Children's visual experience may hold key to better computer vision training
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A novel, human-inspired approach to training artificial intelligence (AI) systems to identify objects and navigate their surroundings could set the stage for the development of more advanced AI systems to explore extreme environments or distant worlds, according to new research.
Published This self-powered sensor could make MRIs more efficient
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source MRI scans are commonly used to diagnose a variety of conditions, anything from liver disease to brain tumors. But, as anyone who has been through one knows, patients must remain completely still to avoid blurring the images and requiring a new scan. A prototype device could change that. The self-powered sensor detects movement and shuts down an MRI scan in real time, improving the process for patients and technicians.
Published AI saving humans from the emotional toll of monitoring hate speech
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A team of researchers have developed a new machine-learning method that detects hate speech on social media platforms with 88 per cent accuracy, saving employees from hundreds of hours of emotionally damaging work.
Published Origins of 'Welsh dragons' finally exposed by experts
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A large fossil discovery has helped shed light on the history of dinosaurs in Wales.
Published Musankwa sanyatiensis, a new dinosaur from Zimbabwe
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Fossils found on the shoreline of Lake Kariba in Zimbabwe represent a completely new dinosaur species. This remarkable find, named Musankwa sanyatiensis, marks only the fourth dinosaur species named from Zimbabwe.
Published Generative AI to protect image privacy
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Image privacy could be protected with the use of generative artificial intelligence. Researchers created a system which replaces parts of images that might threaten confidentiality with visually similar but AI-generated alternatives. Named 'generative content replacement,' in tests, 60% of viewers couldn't tell which images had been altered. The researchers intend for this system to provide a more visually cohesive option for image censoring, which helps to preserve the narrative of the image while protecting privacy.
Published Researchers apply quantum computing methods to protein structure prediction
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers recently published findings that could lay the groundwork for applying quantum computing methods to protein structure prediction.
Published Theoretical quantum speedup with the quantum approximate optimization algorithm
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers demonstrated a quantum algorithmic speedup with the quantum approximate optimization algorithm, laying the groundwork for advancements in telecommunications, financial modeling, materials science and more.
Published Modular, scalable hardware architecture for a quantum computer
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers demonstrated a scalable, modular hardware platform that integrates thousands of interconnected qubits onto a customized integrated circuit. This 'quantum-system-on-chip' (QSoC) architecture enables them to precisely tune and control a dense array of qubits.
Published Bio-inspired cameras and AI help drivers detect pedestrians and obstacles faster
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Artificial intelligence (AI) combined with a novel bio-inspired camera achieves 100 times faster detection of pedestrians and obstacles than current automotive cameras. This important step for computer vision and AI and can greatly improve the safety of automotive systems and self-driving cars.
Published AI helps medical professionals read confusing EEGs to save lives
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have developed an assistive machine learning model that greatly improves the ability of medical professionals to read the electroencephalography (EEG) charts of intensive care patients. Because EEG readings are the only method for knowing when unconscious patients are in danger of suffering a seizure or are having seizure-like events, the computational tool could help save thousands of lives each year.
Published Tracking animals without markers in the wild
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers developed a computer vision framework for posture estimation and identity tracking which they can use in indoor environments as well as in the wild. They have thus taken an important step towards markerless tracking of animals in the wild using computer vision and machine learning.
Published AI headphones let wearer listen to a single person in a crowd, by looking at them just once
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Engineers have developed an artificial intelligence system that lets someone wearing headphones look at a person speaking for three to five seconds to 'enroll' them. The system then plays just the enrolled speaker's voice in real time, even as the pair move around in noisy environments.
Published New crystal production method could enhance quantum computers and electronics
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Scientists describe a new method to make very thin crystals of the element bismuth -- a process that may aid the manufacturing of cheap flexible electronics an everyday reality.
Published How AI helps programming a quantum computer
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have unveiled a novel method to prepare quantum operations on a given quantum computer, using a machine learning generative model to find the appropriate sequence of quantum gates to execute a quantum operation. The study marks a significant step forward in unleashing the full extent of quantum computing.
