Pictures, preferences, names, dates… Have you ever wondered why Big Tech and artificial intelligence (AI) companies collect so much personal information about you? A new paper out this week reveals a big reason why: self-relevance is a key predictor of what people like—that is, how much something means to us because it speaks to our identity, memories, needs, or feelings.Pictures, preferences, names, dates… Have you ever wondered why Big Tech and artificial intelligence (AI) companies collect so much personal information about you?

For centuries, regulations of the legal profession have made it clear there can’t be an engagement in legal practice by unqualified entities. In other words, the practice of law is limited to those admitted as licensed legal practitioners in the jurisdiction.For centuries, regulations of the legal profession have made it clear there can’t be an engagement in legal practice by unqualified entities.

Greater monitoring of wind, gas density and temperatures in coal mines can help reduce the risk of disasters, according to a new joint study with Charles Darwin University (CDU) and University Technology Sydney (UTS).Greater monitoring of wind, gas density and temperatures in coal mines can help reduce the risk of disasters, according to a new joint study with Charles Darwin University (CDU) and University Technology Sydney (UTS).Engineering[#item_full_content]

We’ve watched the remarkable evolution of robotics over the past decade with models that can walk, talk and make gestures like humans, undertake tasks from moving heavy machinery to delicately manipulating tiny objects, and maintain balance on two or four legs over rough and hostile terrain.We’ve watched the remarkable evolution of robotics over the past decade with models that can walk, talk and make gestures like humans, undertake tasks from moving heavy machinery to delicately manipulating tiny objects, and maintain balance on two or four legs over rough and hostile terrain.Robotics[#item_full_content]

An international group of researchers led by Minghao Hu of the University of Arizona in Tucson and Zongliang Wu of Westlake University in Hangzhou conducted experiments in multidimensional computational imaging to compare classic snapshot compressive imaging systems with their proposed system, which involves multiscale manifold sampling and neural decompression. They found that their method achieves comparable image quality, and holds strong promise due to expected advancements in artificial neural network processing capabilities.An international group of researchers led by Minghao Hu of the University of Arizona in Tucson and Zongliang Wu of Westlake University in Hangzhou conducted experiments in multidimensional computational imaging to compare classic snapshot compressive imaging systems with their proposed system, which involves multiscale manifold sampling and neural decompression.
