A new data-driven technique for obstacle avoidance in autonomous vehicles is reported in the International Journal of Vehicle Design. The approach might overcome many of the longstanding challenges in the development of self-driving navigation.A new data-driven technique for obstacle avoidance in autonomous vehicles is reported in the International Journal of Vehicle Design.

As large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT continue to advance, user expectations of them keep growing, including with respect to how quickly they can respond to our increasingly intricate prompts requesting answers to ever-challenging problems and tasks.As large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT continue to advance, user expectations of them keep growing, including with respect to how quickly they can respond to our increasingly intricate prompts requesting answers to ever-challenging problems and tasks.Computer Sciences[#item_full_content]
In the race to develop AI that understands complex images like financial forecasts, medical diagrams and nutrition labels—essential for AI to operate independently in everyday settings—closed-source systems like ChatGPT and Claude currently set the pace. But no one outside their makers knows how those models were trained or what data they used, leaving open-source alternatives scrambling to catch up.In the race to develop AI that understands complex images like financial forecasts, medical diagrams and nutrition labels—essential for AI to operate independently in everyday settings—closed-source systems like ChatGPT and Claude currently set the pace.

Let’s say you’re reading a story, or playing a game of chess. You may not have noticed, but each step of the way, your mind kept track of how the situation (or “state of the world”) was changing. You can imagine this as a sort of sequence of events list, which we use to update our prediction of what will happen next.Let’s say you’re reading a story, or playing a game of chess.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming an everyday part of lives. Many of us use it without even realizing, whether it be writing emails, finding a new TV show or managing smart devices in our homes.Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming an everyday part of lives.

As computers and software become increasingly sophisticated, hackers need to rapidly adapt to the latest developments and devise new strategies to plan and execute cyberattacks. One common strategy to maliciously infiltrate computer systems is known as software exploitation.As computers and software become increasingly sophisticated, hackers need to rapidly adapt to the latest developments and devise new strategies to plan and execute cyberattacks.

Dodging potholes is a familiar routine for drivers. But, behind every bump and crack in the pavement is a bigger issue: many communities lack the tools and data they need to maintain their roads effectively. Traditional pavement assessments rely on expensive, specialized vehicles outfitted with high-resolution sensors. These resources are typically reserved for major highways and high-traffic corridors, leaving neighborhood streets and local roads under-monitored and under-maintained.Dodging potholes is a familiar routine for drivers.

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize fashion design. By recognizing patterns in data and generating new text and images, AI models powered by deep learning algorithms can help fashion designers develop new catalogs, expanding their creativity, with added efficiency, helping to bring products to the market faster.Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize fashion design.
