TNX to hard work of Coma Science Group and collaborators from Milano and Paris within Human Brain Project!
A group of drugs commonly used to treat erectile dysfunction may be able to boost the effect of chemotherapy in esophageal cancer, according to new research funded by Cancer Research UK and the Medical Research Council.
Oh joy. I’d ask snarkaly what could possibly go wrong, but in this case going right IS going wrong, so… 🤯
Chinese scientists have reportedly developed and tested a device that aims to help online censors better police pornography in the country.
Researchers at Beijing Jiaotong University in China created a helmet that can track the brain waves of its wearers. The scientists published their findings in the domestic peer-reviewed Journal of Electronic Measurement and Instrumentation earlier this month.
A new technique in computer vision may enhance our 3D understanding of 2D images. It deals with the automatic extraction, and artificial intelligence of various kinds of information from images.
New technologies have the potential to greatly simplify the lives of humans, including those of blind individuals. One of the most promising types of tools designed to assist the blind are visual prostheses.
Visual prostheses are medical devices that can be implanted in the brain. These devices could help to restore vision in people affected by different types of blindness. Despite their huge potential, most existing visual prostheses achieved unimpressive results, as the vision they can produce is extremely rudimentary.
A team of researchers a University of California, Santa Barbara recently developed a machine learning model that could significantly enhance the performance of visual prostheses, as well as other sensory neuroprostheses (i.e., devices aimed at restoring lost sensory functions or augmenting human abilities). The model they developed, presented in a paper pre-published on arXiv, is based on the use of a neural autoencoder, a brain-inspired architecture that can discover specific patterns in data and create representations of them.
Algorithms, Shor’s Quantum Factoring Algorithm for breaking RSA Security, and the Future of Quantum Computing.
▬ In this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
I talk about my PhD research at MIT in Quantum Artificial Intelligence. I also explain the basic concepts of quantum computers, and why they are superior to conventional computers for specific tasks. Prof. Peter Shor, the inventor of Shor’s algorithm and one of the founding fathers of Quantum Computing, kindly agreed to participate in this video.

In an interview with WIRED, the engineer and priest elaborated on his belief that the program is a person—and not Google’s property.
Can deep learning systems learn to manipulate symbols? The answers might change our understanding of how intelligence works and what makes humans unique.
Microsoft and Meta say that they’re using AI to improve operations in their data centers, joining Google.
Google engineer Blake Lemoine says the AI program called LaMDA is sentient and retained a lawyer for itself. Lemoine says LaMDA is a sentient person.
