LATEST ARTICLES FROM Artificial Intelligence Research

System Trains Driverless Cars in Simulation Before They Hit the Road
A simulation system invented at MIT to train driverless cars creates a photorealistic world with infinite steering possibilities, helping the cars learn to navigate a host of worse-case scenarios before cruising down real streets. Control systems, ...
AI to Estimate Unexploded Bombs From Vietnam War
Researchers have used artificial intelligence to detect Vietnam War-era bomb craters in Cambodia from satellite images - with the hope that it can help find unexploded bombs. The new method increased true bomb crater detection by more than 160 perc...
Deep Learning for Mechanical Property Evaluation
A standard method for testing some of the mechanical properties of materials is to poke them with a sharp point. This "indentation technique" can provide detailed measurements of how the material responds to the point's force, as a function...
Technology Allows Facial Recognition Even With a Mask
A leading company in facial recognition solutions for crowded environments, Herta, is launching a new version of its facial recognition algorithms that can correctly identify people who wear facial masks. The company had been working on the issue of ...
