Why do some melodies feel instantly right, balanced, memorable and satisfying, even if you have never heard them before? New research from the University of Waterloo suggests that more than creativity ...

The CMS Collaboration has shown, for the first time, that machine learning can be used to fully reconstruct particle ...

Extracting and analyzing relevant medical information from large-scale databases such as biobanks poses considerable challenges. To exploit such "big data," attempts have focused on large sampling ...

To his credit, Kasy is a realist here. He doesn’t presume that any of these proposals will be easy to implement. Or that it will happen overnight, or even in the near future. The troubling question at ...

One example involved a system built by a summer intern for his own project work. The tool geolocates devices within a drawing set and links them to a digital twin of the facility. Instead of searching ...

Computer scientists Maria Apostolaki, Benjamin Eysenbach, and Yasaman Ghasempour; chemists William Jacobs and Erin Stache; physicist Isobel Ojalvo; and mathematician Bartolomeo Stellato are members of ...

Deep within the source code of this online multiplayer game lies an enigmatic number that puzzles and inspires experts to this day ...

Dating algorithms have been a fun, low-stakes way for students on campus to meet new people. But have students actually been ...

The making of electoral rolls is designed to be a community exercise that is transparent. This was always a decentralised exercise, with the ERO only responsible for his constituency.

Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...

Real-world optimization problems often require an external “modeling engine” that computes fitnesses or data that are then input to an objective function. These programs often have much longer ...

Howard Huang is laser focused on turning his Shenzhen-based Orbbec into the world’s top supplier of advanced 3D vision sensors for humanoids.
