AI, quantum and nuclear technologies are key to Lockheed Martin’s vision for Space 2050

LOS ANGELES – Artificial intelligence, quantum computing and nuclear power are among the key technologies Lockheed Martin sees as important for future space missions. Through a project called Destination: Space 2050, Lockheed Martin executives are exploring, for example, how AI could assist scientific exploration of locations where communications with remote sensors would be disrupted by high latency. In that type of environment, “you really can’t interact with the robotic sensors,” David Lackner, Lockheed Martin senior manager strategy and business development, said during a June 28 webinar. “You have to have something that is super autonomous that can deal with unknown…

From CNNs to Transformers in Multimodal Human Action Recognition: A Survey

From CNNs to Transformers in Multimodal Human Action Recognition: A Survey

[Submitted on 22 May 2024] View a PDF of the paper titled From CNNs to Transformers in Multimodal Human Action Recognition: A Survey, by Muhammad Bilal Shaikh and 2 other authors View PDF Abstract:Due to its widespread applications, human action recognition is one of the most widely studied research problems in Computer Vision. Recent studies have shown that addressing it using multimodal data leads to superior performance as compared to relying on a single data modality. During the adoption of deep learning for visual modelling in the last decade, action recognition approaches have mainly relied on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs).…

Diamond Valley? Silicon semiconductors face a run for their money

Diamond Valley? Silicon semiconductors face a run for their money

Grenoble-based Diamfab has raised €8.7M in funding for a pilot programme demonstrating semiconductors made using their wafer-thin diamond instead of silicon. Diamfab plans for these semiconductors to form the foundation of chips used in the automotive, renewable energies and quantum industries. The use of diamond to replace silicon in semiconductors has been promised and reneged on for decades, dogged by issues of cost and feasibility. Diamond is lighter, more resistant to high temperatures and more energy-efficient, making it ideal for a wide range of applications including power electronics in electric cars, industry and electricity distribution networks. Breakthroughs in chemical vapour…

How to spot fake online reviews (with a little help from AI)

How to spot fake online reviews (with a little help from AI)

Before you buy something, or visit a new restaurant, or see a new film, you may be tempted to check out the online reviews. Researching what strangers think of the things we might like has become a familiar part of the modern consumer experience. But how can we know which reviews to trust? Which ones are written by honest customers sharing their genuine experiences, and which ones are posted with ulterior motives? For while consumer reviews can guide us towards the best products and services, concealed within the shadows are deceptive reviews, meticulously crafted to deceive and manipulate. Fake feedback,…

Why can’t robots outrun animals?

Why can’t robots outrun animals?

Robotics engineers have worked for decades and invested many millions of research dollars in attempts to create a robot that can walk or run as well as an animal. And yet, it remains the case that many animals are capable of feats that would be impossible for robots that exist today. "A wildebeest can migrate for thousands of kilometres over rough terrain, a mountain goat can climb up a literal cliff, finding footholds that don't even seem to be there, and cockroaches can lose a leg and not slow down," says Dr. Max Donelan, Professor in Simon Fraser University's Department…

AI chip startup Blaize nabs $106M in fresh funding – SiliconANGLE

AI chip startup Blaize nabs $106M in fresh funding – SiliconANGLE

Startup Blaize Inc., which supplies artificial intelligence chips for edge devices and data centers, today disclosed that it has raised $106 million in fresh funding. The capital was provided by a consortium that included Mercedes Benz, Franklin Templeton and a half-dozen other backers. The round comes less than six months after Blaize announced plans to go public through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC. The chipmaker said at the time that the deal was expected to raise at least $71 million. Most AI models are implemented as a collection of code snippets called artificial neurons. Each…

Microsoft Phone Link will soon let you extract text from images – gHacks Tech News

Microsoft is testing a new feature in its Phone Link app. The PC app will soon allow users to extract text from images that are stored on your Android Phone. The feature uses optical character recognition (OCR), to scan for text in images and saves it to the clipboard. You can then paste it into a text editor or another app of your choice. As you may know, the OCR option is already available in Windows 11's Snipping tool, it was added to the app last year. It is particularly handy when you take a screenshot of an image, and…
