Researchers from Peking University have developed ERTool, an open-source Python package designed to simplify the implementation of the Evidential Reasoning (ER) approach for multi-source evidence fusion. This tool addresses the challenges of integrating data from multiple sources in uncertain decision-making environments. The results are published in Health Data Science.... Read more

Technion Researchers have developed a software package that enables computers to perform processing operations directly in memory, bypassing the CPU. This is a significant step toward developing computers that perform calculations in memory, avoiding time-consuming and energy-intensive data transfers between hardware components.... Read more

A less wasteful way to train large language models, such as the GPT series, finishes in the same amount of time for up to 30% less energy, according to a new study from the University of Michigan.... Read more

Fake news is a perennial problem but really begins to ramp up in the election season as conspiracy theories and misinformation by bad actors aim to manipulate voters. As the US election comes down to the wire in one of the closest races yet, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev researchers... Read more

What does sustainable fashion design have in common with Tetris? For both, an intriguing puzzle awaits, where you must configure unique shapes in a way that fills up the available space.... Read more

Some computing challenges are so big that it's necessary to go all in. That's the approach a diverse team of scientists and computing experts led by the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, along with colleagues from Microsoft and other national laboratories and universities, are taking to democratize access...

Northwestern University engineers have developed a new system for full-body motion capture—and it doesn't require specialized rooms, expensive equipment, bulky cameras or an array of sensors.... Read more

A team of AI researchers from Peking University, Kuaishou Technology, and Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, has developed a new AI model called Pyramid Flow, that can be used to generate virtual hi-resolution (768p) video imagery. The group has written a paper describing how they built their model, its... Read more

Marine energy devices have the potential to deliver gigantic amounts of power―if they can survive the ocean's punishing conditions. Innovative system designs are needed to convert wave movements into electricity, but the sea is vast and complex, and deployment in these remote locations is expensive.... Read more

deepSPACE isn't a futuristic film, a new videogame or the next season of a classic TV series. In fact, the new design software developed by an aerospace engineer at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign isn't about outer space at all. This new tool takes your concept and requirements and... Read more

Epic Games on Tuesday began letting parents limit how long, and when, their children can play blockbuster video game Fortnite.... Read more

An algorithm developed by Prakash Vedula, Ph.D., a professor at the University of Oklahoma School of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering, has been incorporated into advanced computing software developed by Google and IBM. The algorithm is remarkable for its exponential improvement over previous methods.... Read more

A team of software and information systems engineers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, in Israel, has demonstrated an ability to extract useful data from an air-gapped computer. The group has posted a paper to the arXiv preprint server describing their experiments and results.... Read more

Long marginalized by the banking industry, Mexico's neighborhood tortilla producers are cautiously embracing financial technology, in a country where cash is still king for many.... Read more

Cloud computing has emerged as a crucial element in today's technology, serving as the backbone for global connectivity. It empowers businesses, governments, and individuals to employ and construct cloud-based services and forms the foundation for a huge range of systems we use every day, including telecommunications, transportation, health care, banking,...
