Edge detection is the process of outlining objects in a scene by identifying areas where changes in color or intensity signal boundaries between objects. It is vital in computer vision applications like object recognition, image segmentation, and feature extraction. Traditionally, its accuracy depends on image quality.Edge detection is the process of outlining objects in a scene by identifying areas where changes in color or intensity signal boundaries between objects.

Ed Sheeran convinced a jury this year that he didn’t rip off Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On.” By way of contrast, Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke earlier failed to establish that “Blurred Lines” wasn’t a copy of Gaye’s “Got to Give It Up.”Ed Sheeran convinced a jury this year that he didn’t rip off Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On.” By way of contrast, Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke earlier failed to establish that “Blurred Lines” wasn’t a copy of Gaye’s “Got to Give It Up.”[#item_full_content]
Network science is the study of the complex relationships and connections underpinning wide datasets, groups of individuals or other systems composed of many interacting parts. This fascinating study of connections can used to create maps and representations of numerous areas of life, ranging from scientific phenomena to social groups and even popular media.Network science is the study of the complex relationships and connections underpinning wide datasets, groups of individuals or other systems composed of many interacting parts.

A team of New York University computer scientists has created a neural network that can explain how it reaches its predictions. The work reveals what accounts for the functionality of neural networks—the engines that drive artificial intelligence and machine learning—thereby illuminating a process that has largely been concealed from users.A team of New York University computer scientists has created a neural network that can explain how it reaches its predictions.

A group of researchers and engineers from the University of Sharjah have developed a deep learning system to utilize the Arabic language and its varieties in applications related to Natural Language Processing (NLP), an interdisciplinary subfield of linguistics, computer science, and artificial intelligence.A group of researchers and engineers from the University of Sharjah have developed a deep learning system to utilize the Arabic language and its varieties in applications related to Natural Language Processing (NLP), an interdisciplinary subfield of linguistics, computer science, and artificial intelligence.[#item_full_content]
Researchers from the University of Jyväskylä were able to simplify the most popular technique of artificial intelligence, deep learning, using 18th-century mathematics. They also found that classical training algorithms that date back 50 years work better than the more recently popular techniques. Their simpler approach advances green IT and is easier to use and understand.Researchers from the University of Jyväskylä were able to simplify the most popular technique of artificial intelligence, deep learning, using 18th-century mathematics.

Check the comments section of many social media and digital news platforms, and you’re likely to find a cesspool of insults, threats and even harassment. In fact, a Pew Research Center survey found that 41% of American adults have personally experienced online harassment, and 1 in 5 adults say they’ve been harassed online for their political views.Check the comments section of many social media and digital news platforms, and you’re likely to find a cesspool of insults, threats and even harassment.
