Classification of astronomical objects is not so simple. With sources at nearly unimaginable distances, it is all too common for researchers to be unable to distinguish between objects. starsOr galaxies, or quasars, or supernovae, for example. To help solve this problem, scientists have developed…
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers have found a way for drivers to avoid idling at red lights through Artificial Intelligence (AI). In a new study, MIT researchers demonstrate a machine-learning approach that can help control a fleet of autonomous vehicles as they…
“I didn’t think we would get to this point in my lifetime.” That’s how one research leader in structural biology responded to last week’s publication of research in which artificial intelligence (AI) was used to predict the structure of more than 20,000…
Using AI driven data analysis to peel back the noise and find the actual shape of the Universe. Credit: The Institute of Statistical Mathematics Japanese astronomers have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) technique to remove noise in astronomical data due to…
“Of all things the measure is man: of those that are, that they are and of those that are not, that they are not.” The saying is from Plato in “Protagoras”, and I wonder if we are living in the epoch that…
In science there is a term called “ground truth,” the baseline from which data is judged for accuracy. For William & Mary student Ken Koltermann, the term may better be described as “boots-on-the-ground truth.” The third-year Ph.D. candidate in computer science spent…
The nifty app CamFind has come a long way with its artificial intelligence. It uses image recognition to identify an object when you point your smartphone camera at it. But back in 2015 its algorithms were less advanced: The app mostly used contract workers…
We are standing at the crossroads where the next big technological leap might land us in the world of science fiction – star wars, star trek and the like. However they face a gigantic challenge. A recent study showed that 2.5 Quintillion bytes…
Machine learning, a type of artificial intelligence used to detect patterns in data, can pinpoint “genes of importance” that help crops grow with less fertilizer, according to a U.S. National Science Foundation-funded study published in Nature Communications. It can also predict additional traits in plants…
Nobody knows who she was, just that she was different: a teenage girl from over 50,000 years ago of such strange uniqueness she looked to be a ‘hybrid’ ancestor to modern humans that scientists had never seen before. Only recently, researchers have uncovered evidence…
