Science Magazine February 23, 2018 Researchers in Belgium have developed a machine learning a neural network algorithm. During training, software assesses its performance after each attempt, and feedback circulates through the millions of network connections to refine future computations. The first stage uses the text to create a “gist” of the video, the second stage takes both the gist and the text and produces a short video. During training, a second network acts as a “discriminator.” As it gets better, it becomes a harsher critic, and its feedback sets a higher bar for the generator network. Currently, the videos are […]

Using technology to detect hidden threats
Eurekalert February 9, 2018 A team of researchers in the US (University of Delaware, Army Research Laboratory) is creating an augmented reality system that will use traditional cameras, thermal infrared sensing, and ground penetrating radar to find and classify potentially dangerous objects from up to 30 meters away. The radar can detect objects buried up to 3-5 inches. The multi-camera system can be used in the night, foggy conditions, and dust storms. It can be deployed on autonomous vehicles, drones, or robots sent to scout the surroundings before troops move in. The technology is being tested in a training facility… […]
