Erik Demaine, an MIT professor of electrical engineering and computer science has spent almost two decades investigating the art of origami combined with algorithms that can determine how to fold paper into 3-D shape. In fact, in 1999, Demaine, then an 18-year-old Ph.D. student, published a paper that described such an algorithm. Back then, this … More MIT Algorithm Generates Paper-Folding Patterns to Tell You How to Produce Any 3-D Shape Imaginable

Researchers at the University of Bradford have developed a new face-aging method that teaches the machines how we, humans age. This is done by feeding the algorithm facial feature information from a giant database of people at various ages. The new technique improves existing techniques, achieves a greater level of accuracy and is expected to … More Face-Aging Algorithm to Boost Search for Missing People

  Heart attacks are scary on their own, but if they happen while the person is driving a car, they’re double scary as they’re no longer a life-threatening event for one person but for anyone nearby. For this reason, Toyota is looking into using new technology for its cars that can predict heart attacks and … More Toyota’s Heart-Monitoring Algorithm Looks to Prevent Car Crashes

Did you know that, just like humans, papers also have their fingerprints? It’s true, at least according to researchers from Newcastle University and their new algorithm. The newly developed algorithm fights forgery of official documents by analyzing the document itself. According to the team – Dr. Siamak Shahandashti, Dr. Feng Hao, and Ehsan Toreini – … More The Algorithm That Fights Document Counterfeiters by Analyzing The Paper Itself

To help during crises in developing countries, researchers from the Data Science Institute and Department of Computing at Imperial College London have developed a new, artificially intelligent algorithm that predicts the gender of pre-paid mobile phone users. When crises happen, phone tracking technologies can help locate those in need of help. For this reason, they … More AI Algorithm Helps Predict The Gender of Pre-paid Phone Users

In the first three months of 2017, the US economy registered growth of 1.2% than the initial estimation but the consumer spending reduced. The change was recorded after revisions were made to business and consumer spending. The growth was not impressive compared to the first quarter of 2016. On the same, it was a blow … More Slowed Economic Growth in the United States
