Pollsters trying to predict presidential election results and physicists searching for distant exoplanets have at least one thing in common: They often use a tried-and-true scientific technique called Bayesian inference.Pollsters trying to predict presidential election results and physicists searching for distant exoplanets have at least one thing in common: They often use a tried-and-true scientific technique called Bayesian inference.[#item_full_content]

Researchers at the University of Trento, Italy, have developed a novel approach for prime factorization via quantum annealing, leveraging a compact modular encoding paradigm and enabling the factorization of large numbers using D-Wave quantum devices.Researchers at the University of Trento, Italy, have developed a novel approach for prime factorization via quantum annealing, leveraging a compact modular encoding paradigm and enabling the factorization of large numbers using D-Wave quantum devices.[#item_full_content]

After a recent car crash, John Murray-Bruce wished he could have seen the other car coming. The crash reaffirmed the USF assistant professor of computer science and engineering’s mission to create a technology that could do just that: See around obstacles and ultimately expand one’s line of vision.After a recent car crash, John Murray-Bruce wished he could have seen the other car coming.

A team of artificial intelligence researchers at Amazon AGI announced the development of what they are describing as the largest text-to-speech model ever made. By largest, they mean having the most parameters and using the largest training dataset. They have published a paper on the arXiv preprint server describing how the model was developed and trained.A team of artificial intelligence researchers at Amazon AGI announced the development of what they are describing as the largest text-to-speech model ever made.

How much cooler would basketball footage be if software could automatically shine a spotlight on key players? How much easier would it be to understand plays if arrows could indicate movement before the players actually move? How much improvement would be possible if one could see how distance from a basket affects shot trajectory?How much cooler would basketball footage be if software could automatically shine a spotlight on key players?

Machine learning researchers at Apple have developed an application that can accept a simple drawing and a text description to animate the drawing in desired ways. Tiffany Tseng, Ruijia Cheng and Jeffrey Nichols have published a paper describing the new app, called Keyframer, on the arXiv preprint server.Machine learning researchers at Apple have developed an application that can accept a simple drawing and a text description to animate the drawing in desired ways.

It is winter, the typical time for colds. What if you could simulate how the disease may spread? At the Cluster of Excellence Collective Behavior at the University of Konstanz, Julia Klein, a doctoral student in computer science, and colleagues investigated how using strict, rule-based methods can help better estimate the parameters for Markov chains. The findings are published in the journal PLOS ONE.It is winter, the typical time for colds. What if you could simulate how the disease may spread?

One of the features of 5G networks is so-called slicing, which is segmentation of the network. Physically, the network remains the same but is logically divided into slices depending on current requests. This approach guarantees a given level of signal quality. Resources are allocated dynamically to a specific segment: If some resources are not currently being used, they can be redirected to another segment.One of the features of 5G networks is so-called slicing, which is segmentation of the network.

Sam Altman, chief executive of ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, is reportedly trying to find up to US$7 trillion of investment to manufacture the enormous volumes of computer chips he believes the world needs to run artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Altman also recently said the world will need more energy in the AI-saturated future he envisions—so much more that some kind of technological breakthrough like nuclear fusion may be required.Sam Altman, chief executive of ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, is reportedly trying to find up to US$7 trillion of investment to manufacture the enormous volumes of computer chips he believes the world needs to run artificial intelligence (AI) systems.
