Using deep learning models, scientists at Sharjah University have designed techniques to automatically predict suitable image dimensions to fit different screens or devices far more efficiently and effectively than current technologies used for image cropping and resizing.Using deep learning models, scientists at Sharjah University have designed techniques to automatically predict suitable image dimensions to fit different screens or devices far more efficiently and effectively than current technologies used for image cropping and resizing.Computer Sciences[#item_full_content]

A small team of researchers from the U.S. and the U.K. has resurrected the code for a 60-year-old chatbot named ELIZA, believed to be the first electronic chatbot. In their paper posted to the arXiv preprint server, the team describes the code written in the 1960s by now-deceased MIT professor Joseph Weizenbaum.A small team of researchers from the U.S. and the U.K. has resurrected the code for a 60-year-old chatbot named ELIZA, believed to be the first electronic chatbot.

The rapid spread of artificial intelligence has people wondering: who’s most likely to embrace AI in their daily lives? Many assume it’s the tech-savvy—those who understand how AI works—who are most eager to adopt it.The rapid spread of artificial intelligence has people wondering: who’s most likely to embrace AI in their daily lives?

A research team from NIMS and the Japan Fine Ceramics Center (JFCC) has developed a next-generation AI device—a hardware component for AI systems—that incorporates an iono-magnonic reservoir. This reservoir controls spin waves (collective excitations of electron spins in magnetic materials), ion dynamics and their interactions.A research team from NIMS and the Japan Fine Ceramics Center (JFCC) has developed a next-generation AI device—a hardware component for AI systems—that incorporates an iono-magnonic reservoir.

Keen to improve India’s abysmal crowd management record at large-scale religious events, organizers of the world’s largest human gathering are using artificial intelligence to try to prevent stampedes.Keen to improve India’s abysmal crowd management record at large-scale religious events, organizers of the world’s largest human gathering are using artificial intelligence to try to prevent stampedes.Hi Tech & Innovation[#item_full_content]

Making Artificial Intelligence systems robustly perceive humans remains one of the most intricate challenges in computer vision. Among the most complex problems is reconstructing 3D models of human hands, a task with wide-ranging applications in robotics, animation, human-computer interaction, and augmented and virtual reality. The difficulty lies in the nature of hands themselves, often obscured while holding objects or contorted into challenging orientations during tasks like grasping.Making Artificial Intelligence systems robustly perceive humans remains one of the most intricate challenges in computer vision.

Studies have long shown that men are more likely to interrupt, particularly when speaking with women. New research by Johns Hopkins engineers reveals that this behavior also extends to AI-powered voice assistants like Alexa and Siri, with men interrupting them almost twice as often as women do. The findings are published in Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction.Studies have long shown that men are more likely to interrupt, particularly when speaking with women.
