Researchers at the University of Osaka have developed a mechanism that allows spoken dialog systems to learn new words through conversation without overwhelming users with repetitive questions. By optimizing when to ask a question using reinforcement learning, the system can achieve efficient knowledge acquisition with minimal interruptions.Researchers at the University of Osaka have developed a mechanism that allows spoken dialog systems to learn new words through conversation without overwhelming users with repetitive questions.

Like octopuses squeezing through a tiny sea cave, metatruss robots can adapt to demanding environments by changing their shape. These mighty morphing robots are made of trusses composed of hundreds of beams and joints that rotate and twist, enabling astonishing volumetric transformations.Like octopuses squeezing through a tiny sea cave, metatruss robots can adapt to demanding environments by changing their shape.

Concerns over the prevalence of online misinformation, including “fake news,” and its implications for politics, business, and society at large have gained momentum in the last decade. The rise of social media, with its almost complete lack of barriers to disseminating content, has contributed to markedly diminished trust in the news, as have new developments in artificial intelligence (AI), especially generative AI (GenAI). All of these changes have implications for political polarization as well as the economic viability of the news industry.Concerns over the prevalence of online misinformation, including “fake news,” and its implications for politics, business, and society at large have gained momentum in the last decade.

From the earliest year of school, children begin learning how to express ideas in different ways. Lines across a page, a wobbly letter, or a simple drawing form the foundation for how we share meaning beyond spoken language.From the earliest year of school, children begin learning how to express ideas in different ways.
