This is good because some materials used in making these devices are non-renewable. This is why efforts to conserve them should be appreciated and supported. Well, recycling flat-screen TVs is a giant leap in th
Algorithms: Technology, Culture, Politics develops a relational, situated approach to algorithms. It takes a middle ground between theories that give the algorithm a singular and stable meaning in using it as a central analytic category for the contemporary society and theories that dissolve the term...
Deep Image Matting Most matting algorithms use Trimap as a priori knowledge. Adobe proposed Deep Image Matting1This is the first end-to-end prediction algorithm for alpha. The entire model is divided into two parts: the Matting encoder-decoder stage and the Matting refinement stage. The Matting ...
Fooling a discriminative algorithm is key to a deepfake's success. Technology required to develop deepfakes The development of deepfakes is becoming easier, more accurate and more prevalent as the following technologies are developed and enhanced: GANneural network technology uses generator and discrimin...
Describing a decision-making system as an “algorithm” is often a way to deflect accountability for human decisions. For many, the term implies a set of rules based objectively on empirical evidence or data. It also suggests a system that is highly complex—perhaps so complex that a human ...
A motivated group of hackers could leverage blockchain’s algorithm to their advantage by taking control of more than half of the nodes on the network. With this simple majority, the hackers have consensus and thus the power to verify fraudulent transactions. ...
“It’s impossible to prove that you can’t break it—the nonexistence of a mathematical algorithm is hard to impossible to prove,” says cryptographer Thomas Decru. But “if something stands the test of time in the world of cryptography, the trust grows.” hide by Tammy Xu Share story...
Inspired by this ability, the researchers developed a new machine-learning algorithm to figure out the relationships among multiple agents through a limited number of observations. They then ran two experiments to test the algorithm’s performance. In the first one, it had to...
Around the same time that CMU’s poker bot won in Pittsburgh, another research team, made up of academics from Canada and the Czech Republic, developed a poker-playing algorithm that also defeated several professional players. And last year, researchers at DeepMind, a U.K.-based subsidiary of...
agent-based technology, Z-map method and genetic algorithm. Some researchers when performing monitoring and control through the Web have studied real-time interactions. However, obtaining the real-time capabilities between a real machine tool and a virtual system still remains as an unsolved issue. ...
