With its head-spinning size and connections, the power system is so complex that even supercomputers struggle to efficiently solve certain optimization problems. But quantum computers might fare better, and now researchers can explore that prospect thanks to a software interface between quantum computers and grid equipment.With its head-spinning size and connections, the power system is so complex that even supercomputers struggle to efficiently solve certain optimization problems.

A new “stress test” method created by a Georgia Tech researcher allows programmers to more easily determine if trained visual recognition models are sensitive to input changes or rely too heavily on context clues to perform their tasks.A new “stress test” method created by a Georgia Tech researcher allows programmers to more easily determine if trained visual recognition models are sensitive to input changes or rely too heavily on context clues to perform their tasks.[#item_full_content]

Imagine purchasing a robot to perform household tasks. This robot was built and trained in a factory on a certain set of tasks and has never seen the items in your home. When you ask it to pick up a mug from your kitchen table, it might not recognize your mug (perhaps because this mug is painted with an unusual image, say, of MIT’s mascot, Tim the Beaver). So, the robot fails.Imagine purchasing a robot to perform household tasks. This robot was built and trained in a factory on a certain set of tasks and has never seen the items in your home.
