A technology for the three-dimensional integration of processing units and memory, as reported by researchers from Tokyo Tech, has achieved the highest attainable performance in the whole world, paving the way to faster and more efficient computing. Named “BBCube 3D,” this innovative stacked architecture achieves higher data bandwidths than state-of-the-art memory technologies, while also minimizing the energy needed for bit access.A technology for the three-dimensional integration of processing units and memory, as reported by researchers from Tokyo Tech, has achieved the highest attainable performance in the whole world, paving the way to faster and more efficient computing.

Computers possess two remarkable capabilities with respect to images: They can both identify them and generate them anew. Historically, these functions have stood separate, akin to the disparate acts of a chef who is good at creating dishes (generation), and a connoisseur who is good at tasting dishes (recognition).Computers possess two remarkable capabilities with respect to images: They can both identify them and generate them anew.

Language models like ChatGPT are making headlines for their impressive ability to “think” and communicate like humans do. Their feat of achievements so far includes answering questions, summarizing text, and even engaging in emotionally intelligent conversation.Language models like ChatGPT are making headlines for their impressive ability to “think” and communicate like humans do.

An international research team has designed a deep learning system able to detect natural disasters using images posted on social media. The researchers applied computer vision tools that, once trained using 1.7 million photographs, proved capable of analyzing, filtering and detecting real disasters. The paper is published in the journal IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence.An international research team has designed a deep learning system able to detect natural disasters using images posted on social media.

A savvy hacker can obtain secret information, such as a password, by observing a computer program’s behavior, like how much time that program spends accessing the computer’s memory.A savvy hacker can obtain secret information, such as a password, by observing a computer program’s behavior, like how much time that program spends accessing the computer’s memory.[#item_full_content]

Researchers at NYU Tandon School of Engineering’s C2SMART Center have developed an algorithm to plan the most efficient routes for modular vehicle (MV) fleets—specially-designed vehicles that attach and detach from one another as they move people around cities—removing a significant obstacle to making this type of transportation system a reality.Researchers at NYU Tandon School of Engineering’s C2SMART Center have developed an algorithm to plan the most efficient routes for modular vehicle (MV) fleets—specially-designed vehicles that attach and detach from one another as they move people around cities—removing a significant obstacle to making this type of transportation system a reality.[#item_full_content]

Visualization and artificial intelligence (AI) are well-applied approaches to data analysis. In complex data analysis scenarios, like epidemic traceability and city planning, humans need to understand large-scale data and make decisions, which requires complementing the strengths of both visualization and AI. However, integrating these into data analysis processes has yet to be accomplished.Visualization and artificial intelligence (AI) are well-applied approaches to data analysis.
