A team of University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers and computer scientists has identified vulnerabilities in popular automation apps that can make it easy for an abuser to stalk individuals, track their cellphone activity, or even control their devices with little risk of detection.A team of University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers and computer scientists has identified vulnerabilities in popular automation apps that can make it easy for an abuser to stalk individuals, track their cellphone activity, or even control their devices with little risk of detection.[#item_full_content]
Modern robotic systems—in drones or autonomous vehicles, for example—use a variety of sensors, ranging from cameras and accelerometers to GPS modules. To date, their correct integration has required expert knowledge and time-consuming calibration.Modern robotic systems—in drones or autonomous vehicles, for example—use a variety of sensors, ranging from cameras and accelerometers to GPS modules.

Animals like bats, whales and insects have long used acoustic signals for communication and navigation. Now, an international team of scientists has taken a page from nature’s playbook to model micro-sized robots that use sound waves to coordinate into large swarms that exhibit intelligent-like behavior.Animals like bats, whales and insects have long used acoustic signals for communication and navigation.

Large language models are built with safety protocols designed to prevent them from answering malicious queries and providing dangerous information. But users can employ techniques known as “jailbreaks” to bypass the safety guardrails and get LLMs to answer a harmful query.Large language models are built with safety protocols designed to prevent them from answering malicious queries and providing dangerous information.

Researchers from the University of Oxford, EleutherAI, and the UK AI Security Institute have reported a major advance in safeguarding open-weight language models. By filtering out potentially harmful knowledge during training, the researchers were able to build models that resist subsequent malicious updates—especially valuable in sensitive domains such as biothreat research.Researchers from the University of Oxford, EleutherAI, and the UK AI Security Institute have reported a major advance in safeguarding open-weight language models.

Accurately estimating human pose was among the first tasks addressed by deep learning. Early models like OpenPose focused on localizing human joints as 2D keypoints in image coordinates. Later, Google came up with Mediapipe, followed by YOLOpose, which gained major attention and is widely adopted due to its efficiency and accuracy.Accurately estimating human pose was among the first tasks addressed by deep learning.
