Robots have long been integral to various industries, from manufacturing to household chores. However, the traditional approach to programming robots has limitations, often resulting in inefficiencies when faced with unexpected challenges. A study conducted by researchers at Shanghai University introduces the groundbreaking “Correction and Planning with Memory Integration” (CPMI) framework, aiming to revolutionize the way
The Australian government is currently investigating claims made by a hacking group named ShinyHunters, regarding the theft of data belonging to 560 million customers of global events giant Ticketmaster. The stolen information reportedly includes names, addresses, phone numbers, and partial credit card details of the affected customers. The data was being offered for sale at
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to significantly impact women’s security in South-East Asia, but systemic issues such as gender biases and cyber threats pose serious obstacles. Research conducted by UN Women and the United Nations University Institute in Macau (UNU Macau) sheds light on the challenges faced by women human rights defenders (WHRDs) and
The landscape of deep learning techniques has evolved significantly over the past few years, achieving remarkable milestones in image classification and natural language processing. This progress has prompted researchers to explore new avenues in hardware development to support the computational demands of deep neural networks. Among the novel solutions being investigated are hardware accelerators, which
In recent years, large language models (LLMs) have gained widespread popularity for their ability to process, generate, and manipulate texts in various languages. While these models have shown impressive capabilities in producing human-like text, they are also prone to what researchers refer to as hallucinations. These hallucinations occur when an LLM generates responses that are
Researchers at the Shanghai Institute of Ceramics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Huazhong University of Science and Technology, have introduced a groundbreaking electrochromic (EC) structure for energy-saving windows. This innovative technology has the potential to significantly reduce the energy consumption of buildings by dynamically regulating solar radiation through external voltage stimuli.
Trump Media and Technology Group, the owner of former US President Donald Trump’s Truth Social platform, faced significant financial challenges in the first quarter of 2024. The company reported a staggering net loss of $327.6 million from January to March, a drastic increase from the $210,300 in losses during the same period the previous year.
The field of electronics engineering has been continuously evolving, with a particular focus on designing smaller and more advanced transistors. Traditional silicon-based field effect transistors (FETs) have certain limitations when it comes to scalability, prompting researchers to explore alternative materials with higher electron mobility. Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have emerged as one of the most
OpenAI recently introduced GPT-4o, an AI system designed to power the popular ChatGPT chatbot. This new version, dubbed “omni,” emphasizes natural engagement with users through human-like personality traits and behaviors. While the demonstrations showcase GPT-4o as friendly, empathetic, and engaging, the focus on personality raises important ethical questions. Comparisons to the movie “Her,” where the
