Canadian University Augments Solar Panels to Improve Output – EE Times

Canadian University Augments Solar Panels to Improve Output – EE Times

//php echo do_shortcode('[responsivevoice_button voice="US English Male" buttontext="Listen to Post"]') ?> Researchers in Canada’s national capital have devised a smart approach to optimize the effectiveness of solar panels by enhancing them with artificial ground reflectors. The University of Ottawa’s SUNLAB, led by electrical engineering Professor Karin Hinzer, collaborated with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, Colorado, to study how reflective ground covers affect solar energy output. The research was conducted by uOttawa electrical engineering doctoral candidate Mandy Lewis in Golden, and it found that placing reflective surfaces under solar panels can increase their energy output by up to 4.5%.…

The Unified Balance Theory of Second-Moment Exponential Scaling Optimizers in Visual Tasks

The Unified Balance Theory of Second-Moment Exponential Scaling Optimizers in Visual Tasks

arXiv:2405.18498v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We have identified a potential method for unifying first-order optimizers through the use of variable Second-Moment Exponential Scaling(SMES). We begin with back propagation, addressing classic phenomena such as gradient vanishing and explosion, as well as issues related to dataset sparsity, and introduce the theory of balance in optimization. Through this theory, we suggest that SGD and adaptive optimizers can be unified under a broader inference, employing variable moving exponential scaling to achieve a balanced approach within a generalized formula for first-order optimizers. We conducted tests on some classic datasets and networks to confirm the impact…

Drake’s beef with Kendrick Lamar isn’t nearly as important as his tiff with Tupac Shakur’s estate over using the dead rapper’s voice

Drake’s beef with Kendrick Lamar isn’t nearly as important as his tiff with Tupac Shakur’s estate over using the dead rapper’s voice

In April 2023, a song titled “Heart on My Sleeve,” written and produced by a mysterious producer named Ghostwriter, went viral on TikTok and briefly became the most popular song on both YouTube and Spotify. But just as quickly as “Heart on My Sleeve” took off, Spotify and YouTube removed it from their libraries. The producer and songwriter had used artificial intelligence to create vocals on the track that sounded like Drake and The Weeknd. Universal Music Group, which represents both artists, had threatened legal action. Though Drake was surely aware of the kerfuffle, he didn’t seem fazed by it.…

AI can now detect COVID-19 in lung ultrasound images

AI can now detect COVID-19 in lung ultrasound images

Artificial intelligence can spot COVID-19 in lung ultrasound images much like facial recognition software can spot a face in a crowd, new research shows. The findings boost AI-driven medical diagnostics and bring health care professionals closer to being able to quickly diagnose patients with COVID-19 and other pulmonary diseases with algorithms that comb through ultrasound images to identify signs of disease. The findings, newly published in Communications Medicine, culminate an effort that started early in the pandemic when clinicians needed tools to rapidly assess legions of patients in overwhelmed emergency rooms. "We developed this automated detection tool to help doctors…

Towards Open Domain Text-Driven Synthesis of Multi-Person Motions

Towards Open Domain Text-Driven Synthesis of Multi-Person Motions

arXiv:2405.18483v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This work aims to generate natural and diverse group motions of multiple humans from textual descriptions. While single-person text-to-motion generation is extensively studied, it remains challenging to synthesize motions for more than one or two subjects from in-the-wild prompts, mainly due to the lack of available datasets. In this work, we curate human pose and motion datasets by estimating pose information from large-scale image and video datasets. Our models use a transformer-based diffusion framework that accommodates multiple datasets with any number of subjects or frames. Experiments explore both generation of multi-person static poses and generation…
