| Unlocking the potential of big data in the cloud Posted: 04 Dec 2014 08:09 AM PST Cloud computing and Big Data are the two top innovation hubs in ICT. Together they have the potential to become pivotal enhancers of social transformation and economic development for many years to come, experts say.  |
| Volunteers can now help scientists seek Ebola cure in their (computer's) spare time Posted: 03 Dec 2014 11:24 AM PST Beginning today, anyone can download a safe and free app that will put their computer or Android-based mobile device to work to form a virtual supercomputer to help scientists screen millions of chemical compounds to identify new drug leads for treating Ebola.  |
| Computer equal to or better than humans at cataloging science Posted: 01 Dec 2014 01:30 PM PST This year, a computer system equaled or bested scientists at the complex task of extracting data from scientific publications and placing it in a database that catalogs the results of tens of thousands of individual studies. "We demonstrated that the system was no worse than people on all the things we measured, and it was better in some categories," says the researcher who guided the software development for the project.  |
