Wireless ‘data center on a chip’ aims to cut energy use
A Washington State University research team has designed a tiny, wireless data center that someday could be as small as a hand-held device and dramatically reduce the energy needed to
Computers should be named on patents as inventors for creativity to flourish
A smartwatch is capable of detecting and distinguishing a variety of taps, flicks and scratches by the hands and fingers, and all that’s required is a software upgrade that repurposes
How Experian is turning big data into big dollars
At Experian DataLabs, a team of scientists is thwarting bad guys with math. A top-five U.S. credit card issuer recently dumped about 6 billion transaction records on the San Diego
Novel tensor mining tool to enable automated modeling described in big data
The ability to monitor, record, analyze, and integrate information about human biology and health, at scales ranging from molecular interactions to disease prevalence in large populations, is transforming biomedical science
Scientists simplify model for human behavior in automation
Human unpredictability is a problem in the automated human-machine systems people use every day. Scientists from Nanjing Institute of Technology’s School of Automation in China and the University of California,
Expert warns of big data’s dark side in ‘Weapons of Math Destruction’
In her new book, “Weapons of Math Destruction: How Big Data Increases Inequality and Threatens Democracy,” Cathy O’Neil, Ph.D. ’99 argues that the algorithms dictating so many aspects of modern
Software that automatically recognizes surfaces within complex three-dimensional images can benefit petroleum extraction
Bubbles in a glass of champagne, thin films rupturing into tiny droplets, and crashing ocean waves—scientists mathematically model these and other phenomena by solving the same series of equations. However,
