| To deter cyberattacks, build a public-private partnership Posted: 25 Aug 2014 12:26 PM PDT The best way to combat cyberattacks may be a joint public-private partnership between government and business, says a new paper. Cybersecurity is a big deal, and the protection of critical network infrastructure is a matter of national security," said one expert. "If nothing else, cyberattacks are very expensive, costing the global economy almost a half-trillion dollars per year, according to some estimates. For either of those reasons alone it should be given more attention." |
| Organic vs. paid advertising? Inside the mind of an online browser Posted: 25 Aug 2014 10:01 AM PDT The keyword term a consumer uses in their search engine query can predict the likelihood that they will click on an organic or paid advertisement. That's according to new research that takes a unique look at a consumer's behavior between the keyword search and the point-of-click. The new information may give marketers the edge in converting even more consumer clicks on their sites. |
| Promise in automated reasoning, hypothesis generation over complete medical literature Posted: 25 Aug 2014 08:50 AM PDT With approximately 50 million scientific papers available in public databases -- and a new one publishing nearly every 30 seconds -- scientists cannot know about every relevant study when they are deciding where to take their research next. A new tool in development by computational biologists and analytics experts tested as a 'proof-of-principle' may one day help researchers mine all public medical literature and formulate hypotheses that promise the greatest reward when pursuing new scientific studies. |
| World's first ZigBee-based inter-satellite comms system Posted: 25 Aug 2014 07:00 AM PDT Engineers have successfully piloted the world's first ZigBee-based inter-satellite communication system. Designed to evaluate the performance of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in space, the experiment marks a breakthrough in aeronautical engineering. |
| 'Robo Brain' will teach robots everything from the Internet Posted: 25 Aug 2014 05:49 AM PDT Robo Brain -- a large-scale computational system that learns from publicly available Internet resources -- is currently downloading and processing about 1 billion images, 120,000 YouTube videos, and 100 million how-to documents and appliance manuals. The information is being translated and stored in a robot-friendly format that robots will be able to draw on when they need it. |
