| A simple solution for big data: New algorithm simplifies the categorization of data Posted: 26 Jun 2014 11:16 AM PDT Categorizing and representing huge amounts of data -- we're talking about peta- or even exabytes of information -- synthetically is a challenge of the future. A research paper proposes an efficient procedure to face up to this challenge.  |
| Ask the crowd: Robots learn faster, better with online helpers Posted: 26 Jun 2014 10:20 AM PDT Sometimes it takes a village to teach a robot. Computer scientists have shown that crowdsourcing can be a quick and effective way to teach a robot how to complete tasks. Instead of learning from just one human, robots could one day query the larger online community, asking for instructions or input on the best way to set the table or water the garden.  |
| Automatic cutting of boring parts from long videos Posted: 25 Jun 2014 10:24 AM PDT Smartphones, GoPro cameras and Google Glass are making it easy for anyone to shoot video anywhere. But, they do not make it any easier to watch the tedious videos that can result. Computer scientists, however, have invented a video highlighting technique that can automatically pick out the good parts.  |
| Innovation: Magnetic field conductors Posted: 25 Jun 2014 07:13 AM PDT Physicists have developed a new technology to transfer magnetic fields to arbitrary long distances, which is comparable to transmitting and routing light in optical fibers. They have theoretically proposed and already tested this new device experimentally. The field of possible applications is broad and includes spintronic and quantum computers among others.  |
| Skyscraper Tetris game sets new world record Posted: 24 Jun 2014 10:57 AM PDT Frank Lee has officially outdone himself. The man behind this spring's giant game of Tetris® --played on the north and south sides of Brandywine Realty Trust's Cira Centre skyscraper-- replaced his own name in the Guinness World Records ledger as the creator of the world's "largest architectural videogame display."  |
| Verification protocol for data storage or transmission: Ghost writing the whip Posted: 24 Jun 2014 10:56 AM PDT "Ghost imaging" sounds like the spooky stuff of frivolous fiction, but it's an established technique for reconstructing hi-res images of objects partly obscured by clouds or smoke. Now a group of researchers is applying the same idea in reverse to securing stored or shared electronic data. Their work establishes "marked ghost imaging" technology as a new type of multi-layer verification protocol for data storage or transmission.  |
