Immersive film using virtual reality (VR) or 360-degree video is being used increasingly as a tool for eliciting empathy and emotional identification in fact-based stories. Unlike traditional flat film, immersive films allow viewers to look […]
Science fiction film and television has long been fascinated by robots. But stories that show us uncannily human cyborgs have often tended to veer towards either comedy or horror. Fritz Lang’s “Metropolis” (1927) and Ridley […]
Over the past decades, computer scientists have created increasingly advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models, some of which can perform similarly to humans on specific tasks. The extent to which these models truly “think” and analyze […]
A particular set of probabilistic inference algorithms common in robotics involve Sequential Monte Carlo methods, also known as “particle filtering,” which approximates using repeated random sampling. (“Particle,” in this context, refers to individual samples.) Traditional […]
Smartphones are useful tools for everyday life, but they’re privy to nearly everything about you, including all the places you’ve been—if you let them.This post was originally published on this website.
Ever notice that batteries in electronics don’t last as long as they did when they were brand new?This post was originally published on this website.
A research team at Osaka University and TIS Inc. has developed software “Tranqu” that allows users to select a transpiler that converts and optimizes quantum programs for execution on quantum chips. This enables users to […]
Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere—from the chatbots we consult for customer support to tools predicting how diseases might spread. But the computing power and energy required to power modern AI models—such as large language models […]
Katy Perry is in a recording booth. She turns to the camera, smiles and begins to sing: “Badipsa frooby noop.” As if to confirm that we didn’t mishear her, she repeats “Badipsa frooby noop” and […]
