A modeling study shows how, under some conditions, increasing numbers of households with rooftop solar panels can lead to higher rates for those without their own solar system. When utility customers cancel their accounts after […]
Realistic digital avatars are becoming increasingly relevant, for example in virtual and augmented reality applications, video conferencing, films and computer games, or in medicine. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Informatics in Saarbrücken, […]
A new doctoral dissertation from the University of Vaasa, Finland, argues that health care cybersecurity will remain fragile unless technology, humans and organizational processes are treated as a single unified system. According to doctoral researcher […]
A popular portable phone charger sold online has been recalled after reports that it can overheat and catch fire, federal officials said.This post was originally published on this website.
Developing chips that simulate how the brain works has great promise for AI, robotics, and other fields. But making them so that they’re scalable while providing repeatable results has proven tricky. Now, a Yale-led team […]
Modern neural networks, with billions of parameters, are so overparameterized that they can “overfit” even random, structureless data. Yet when trained on datasets with structure, they learn the underlying features.This post was originally published on […]
Adopting digital twin technology to manage the power consumption of idle devices could save organizations thousands of pounds a year and help reduce their carbon footprint, new research suggests.This post was originally published on this […]
Future events such as the weather or satellite trajectories are computed in tiny time steps, so the computation must be both efficient and as accurate as possible at each step lest errors pile up. A […]
A new report from the University of Liverpool and the United Nations Migration Agency–International Organization for Migration (IOM) demonstrates how harnessing digital data collected from mobile phone applications and social media platforms can transform the […]
The world is loud. A walk down the street bombards one’s ears with the sound of engines revving, car horns blaring, and the steady beeps of pedestrian crossings. While smartphone alerts to excessive sound and […]
