Railway infrastructure could be made safer and more reliable using AI, artificial intelligence, according to research published in the International Journal of Information and Communication Technology. The research outlines a new automated, real-time fault detection system based on deep learning that can identify problems with track, bridges, tunnels, and signaling equipment. The work could address long-standing challenges in maintaining complex transportation networks.Railway infrastructure could be made safer and more reliable using AI, artificial intelligence, according to research published in the International Journal of Information and Communication Technology.

Watching 3D movies and TV shows is a fun and exciting experience, where images leap out of the screen. To get this effect, you usually have to wear a special pair of glasses. But that could soon be a thing of the past as scientists have developed a new display system that delivers a realistic 3D experience without the need for any eyewear.Watching 3D movies and TV shows is a fun and exciting experience, where images leap out of the screen.

CISPA researcher Tejumade Àfọ̀njá has co-authored a new international study that uses food as a starting point to reveal significant cultural blind spots in today’s AI systems. The study also introduces a new participatory research approach to create more inclusive datasets and evaluate biases in AI models.CISPA researcher Tejumade Àfọ̀njá has co-authored a new international study that uses food as a starting point to reveal significant cultural blind spots in today’s AI systems.

Nina Beguš remembers being at an event 10 years ago where a group of engineers showcased new robots that could recognize human emotions and offer basic compliments. It was years before AI chatbots would become fixtures of daily online life. But Beguš, who was beginning her Ph.D. in comparative literature, could already envision what was coming.Nina Beguš remembers being at an event 10 years ago where a group of engineers showcased new robots that could recognize human emotions and offer basic compliments.

In a new research project led by the Central Institute of Mental Health (CIMH) in Mannheim, scientists are investigating how insights into learning processes in animal brains can be used to make artificial intelligence (AI) systems more flexible and efficient. The project is titled NAILIt—Neuro-inspired AI for Learning and Inference in non-stationary environments.In a new research project led by the Central Institute of Mental Health (CIMH) in Mannheim, scientists are investigating how insights into learning processes in animal brains can be used to make artificial intelligence (AI) systems more flexible and efficient.

Underwater octopuses change their body color and texture in the blink of an eye to blend perfectly into their surroundings when evading predators or capturing prey. They transform their bodies to match the colors of nearby corals or seaweed, turning blue or red, and move by softly curling their arms or snatching prey.Underwater octopuses change their body color and texture in the blink of an eye to blend perfectly into their surroundings when evading predators or capturing prey.
