There are about 7,000 languages worldwide, all with their own sets of rules, grammars, and dialects. When disasters and major accidents happen, the breadth and variety of that number make it hard for disaster relief teams to react quickly and efficiently, especially when dealing with areas with low resources. “We need to get resources to … More Researchers Use Grammar Acqusition Algorithm to Translate Lesser-Known Languages

The world economy is increasingly shifting toward knowledge-based production, meaning instead of manufacturing, industries are now more focused on implementing new ideas about technology, machine learning, product design, etc. Although interesting, this new state of the market also brings some challenges, particularly for the workers and employers. For instance, it can hard to find your … More New Tool Improves Online Labor Market Search Algorithms

A team of Standford researchers has developed a new algorithm that is excellent for diagnosing pneumonia. In fact, the new algorithm, called CheXNet, can diagnose up to 14 different medical conditions and is better at diagnosing pneumonia than radiologists working alone. As Pranav Rajpurkar, a graduate student in the Machine Learning Group at Stanford and … More Newly Developed Algorithm Better at Diagnosing Pneumonia Than Radiologists

  Scientific complementary metal-oxide semiconductor cameras, or sCMOS for short, are highly advanced cameras that provide significant advances in imaging speed, view of field and sensitivity compared with more traditional methods and detectors. They’re rapidly gaining popularity in various fields, including biological sciences. However, their use in this particular field has been limited until now. … More New Algorithm Expands Use of sCMOS for Biological Microscopy

We all know that earphones, cables and the like tend to get tangled quickly and then form annoying knots. However, although our chromosomes look the part – they’re long strings of genetic material – we don’t know do they or don’t they get tangled too. Now, German researchers have used mathematical algorithms to examine and … More Examining 3D Structures of Chromosomes With Algorithms
