Stroke is the most important cause of disability for adults in the EU, which affects approximately 1.1 million inhabitants each year. After a stroke, patients commonly need rehabilitation to relearn to walk, talk, or perform daily tasks. Research has shown that besides physical and occupational therapy, music therapy can help stroke patients to recover language and motor function.Stroke is the most important cause of disability for adults in the EU, which affects approximately 1.1 million inhabitants each year.

A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Zurich has delved into the capabilities of AI models, specifically focusing on OpenAI’s GPT-3, to determine their potential risks and benefits in generating and disseminating (dis)information.A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Zurich has delved into the capabilities of AI models, specifically focusing on OpenAI’s GPT-3, to determine their potential risks and benefits in generating and disseminating (dis)information.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]

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.

Why is it that artificial intelligence systems can outperform humans on some visual tasks, like facial recognition, but make egregious errors on others—such as classifying an image of an astronaut as a shovel?Why is it that artificial intelligence systems can outperform humans on some visual tasks, like facial recognition, but make egregious errors on others—such as classifying an image of an astronaut as a shovel?Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]

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.

Rapid progress in artificial intelligence (AI) has spurred some leading voices in the field to call for a research pause, raise the possibility of AI-driven human extinction, and even ask for government regulation. At the heart of their concern is the idea AI might become so powerful we lose control of it.Rapid progress in artificial intelligence (AI) has spurred some leading voices in the field to call for a research pause, raise the possibility of AI-driven human extinction, and even ask for government regulation.

Months after the spectacular launch of ChatGPT, the AI revolution is well underway but hints of caution are emerging, especially over letting one or two companies reign supreme.Months after the spectacular launch of ChatGPT, the AI revolution is well underway but hints of caution are emerging, especially over letting one or two companies reign supreme.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]

Software systems are all around us—from the operating systems of our computers to search engines to automation used in industrial applications. At the center of all of this is data, which is used in machine learning (ML) components that are available in a wide variety of applications, including self-driving cars and large language models (LLM). Because many systems rely on ML components, it is important to guarantee their security and reliability.Software systems are all around us—from the operating systems of our computers to search engines to automation used in industrial applications.
