Although ChatGPT is still in its infancy, its appearance has impacted virtually all fields relying on technology. Which is to say, pretty much everything is or will soon be touched by it.Although ChatGPT is still in its infancy, its appearance has impacted virtually all fields relying on technology.

In theory, quantum computers vastly outperform classical computers in terms of computing speed. For them to do so in practice, it is necessary to design more and novel high-speed algorithms, says ETH supercomputing specialist Torsten Hoefler.In theory, quantum computers vastly outperform classical computers in terms of computing speed.

Surface electromyography (EMG) has been widely used to measure the electrical activity of muscles. However, the variability in EMG sensing signals due to biological differences of different users significantly degrades the performance and potential of EMG systems.Surface electromyography (EMG) has been widely used to measure the electrical activity of muscles.

Associate Professor Tomohisa Yamashita and his colleagues at the Laboratory of Harmonious Systems Engineering (Harmo Lab, Faculty of Information Science and Technology) devote their research to artificial intelligence (AI) for the benefit of human happiness. One of their breakthroughs is the birth of Issa-kun, a haiku generator.Associate Professor Tomohisa Yamashita and his colleagues at the Laboratory of Harmonious Systems Engineering (Harmo Lab, Faculty of Information Science and Technology) devote their research to artificial intelligence (AI) for the benefit of human happiness.

Despite their enormous size and power, today’s artificial intelligence systems routinely fail to distinguish between hallucination and reality. Autonomous driving systems can fail to perceive pedestrians and emergency vehicles right in front of them, with fatal consequences. Conversational AI systems confidently make up facts and, after training via reinforcement learning, often fail to give accurate estimates of their own uncertainty.Despite their enormous size and power, today’s artificial intelligence systems routinely fail to distinguish between hallucination and reality.

A team of computer scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Informatics, MIT, Google and the University of Pennsylvania has developed a new AI imaging tool for user-interactive 3D manipulation of 2D images depicted in a photograph. The team published a paper describing the new tool, which is called DragGAN, on the arXiv preprint server along with short videos depicting what the tool can do.A team of computer scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Informatics, MIT, Google and the University of Pennsylvania has developed a new AI imaging tool for user-interactive 3D manipulation of 2D images depicted in a photograph.

The rush to deploy powerful new generative AI technologies, such as ChatGPT, has raised alarms about potential harm and misuse. The law’s glacial response to such threats has prompted demands that the companies developing these technologies implement AI “ethically.”The rush to deploy powerful new generative AI technologies, such as ChatGPT, has raised alarms about potential harm and misuse.

Researchers at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center—Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) and the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) have developed a tool for research into automatic sign language translation that uses artificial intelligence to break down some of the communication barriers commonly faced by deaf people and those that are hard of hearing.Researchers at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center—Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) and the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) have developed a tool for research into automatic sign language translation that uses artificial intelligence to break down some of the communication barriers commonly faced by deaf people and those that are hard of hearing.[#item_full_content]
Increasing traffic congestion in the Seattle area is a good analogy for a similar increase in congestion on high-performance computing (HPC) systems, according to scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL).Increasing traffic congestion in the Seattle area is a good analogy for a similar increase in congestion on high-performance computing (HPC) systems, according to scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL).[#item_full_content]
In computer graphics and computer-aided design (CAD), 3D objects are often represented by the contours of their outer surfaces. Computers store these shapes as “thin shells,” which model the contours of the skin of an animated character but not the flesh underneath.In computer graphics and computer-aided design (CAD), 3D objects are often represented by the contours of their outer surfaces.
