Designed to monitor the whole sky for signs of meteors, which can be traced back to their cometary origins, the CAMS project has recently received a big upgrade to its detection and visualization pipeline — with the SpaceML project bringing citizen scientists into the mix.
A framework that uses both audio and image modality for event classification– tested on COVID-19 prescreening and battlefield object detection, later evaluated on the Raspberry Pi 4 single-board computer.
The adaptive immune system serves as a template for defending neural nets from confusion-sowing attacks.

Researchers have developed a technique for making quantum computing more resilient to noise, which boosts performance.
Using satellite imagery or road schematic maps as "side information," the ViKiNG robot can plan its own miles-long route to a goal — measurably outperforming its strongest competitors, even when its side information is inaccurate or outdated.
A novel approach to visual speech recognition that carefully designs the VSR model rather than increasing the size of the training data.
Designed to bring machine learning to the Earth's last great frontier, a prototype smart sensor platform users on-device inference to classify marine mammal calls — powering itself exclusively from the sounds it captures.
Developers at all skill levels can learn and grow from attending cutting-edge conferences and leveraging online resources.
Research from MIT suggests that a certain type of robust computer-vision model perceives visual representations similarly to the way humans do using peripheral vision.
In this episode, we talk about how UAVs are being deployed to control destructive pigeon populations and to study bottlenose dolphin populations.
This 3D vision system for a mobile robot picker consists of an AMR with a robotic arm equipped with the Photoneo 3D camera MotionCam-3D. The hand-eye setup allows you to scan and approach each object from an appropriate angle, distance, and position.
Designed as a necklace-style wearable in a 3D-printed case, SpeeChin is capable of recognizing 54 English and 44 Chinese voice commands — even if the wearer never says anything out loud.
