Researchers at the University of Toronto have found that using virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR) can temporarily change the way people perceive and interact with the real world—with potential implications for the growing number of industries that use these technologies for training purposes.Researchers at the University of Toronto have found that using virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR) can temporarily change the way people perceive and interact with the real world—with potential implications for the growing number of industries that use these technologies for training purposes.[#item_full_content]

Emerging byte-addressable storage technologies, such as NVM, provide a more cost-effective and larger-capacity alternative to DRAM, presenting new opportunities to address the high cost, limited capacity, and volatility of in-memory key-value (KV) stores.Emerging byte-addressable storage technologies, such as NVM, provide a more cost-effective and larger-capacity alternative to DRAM, presenting new opportunities to address the high cost, limited capacity, and volatility of in-memory key-value (KV) stores.[#item_full_content]

A good machine-learning algorithm is a powerful research accelerator. Pair it with a computer simulation and it can sniff out mathematical shortcuts through the program, propelling scientists to faster insights about the effects of drugs on cells or the potential of rocket engines to send humankind to Mars and beyond.A good machine-learning algorithm is a powerful research accelerator.

Discourse relation classification is a fundamental task for discourse analysis, which is essential for understanding the structure and connection of texts. Implicit discourse relation classification aims to determine the relationship between adjacent sentences and is the most challenging in discourse relation classification because it lacks explicit discourse connectives as linguistic cues and sufficient annotated training data.Discourse relation classification is a fundamental task for discourse analysis, which is essential for understanding the structure and connection of texts.

New research reveals that synchronized foot vibrations and posture significantly enhance virtual walking experiences for stationary observers, improving self-motion, walking sensation, and embodiment. Standing posture was most effective, but sitting and lying positions also benefited from synchronized vibrations. These findings have practical applications in virtual reality (VR) for training, rehabilitation, and entertainment, offering improved immersion and realism even for users with physical limitations.New research reveals that synchronized foot vibrations and posture significantly enhance virtual walking experiences for stationary observers, improving self-motion, walking sensation, and embodiment.

Automatic bug assignment has been well studied in the past decade. As textual bug reports usually describe the buggy phenomena and potential causes, engineers highly depend on these reports to fix bugs. Researchers heavily depend on the textual content in the bug reports to locate the buggy files. However, noises in texts bring adverse impacts to automatic bug assignments unexpectedly, mainly due to insufficiency of classical Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques.Automatic bug assignment has been well studied in the past decade.

Last week, quantum computers were added to Australia’s Defense and Strategic Goods List of controlled items facing export restrictions. That’s because quantum technologies—which may soon provide huge advances in computing, communication and sensing—are rapidly growing in strategic importance.Last week, quantum computers were added to Australia’s Defense and Strategic Goods List of controlled items facing export restrictions.
