Tracking humans in 3-D with off-the-shelf webcams
Computer scientists have developed a system that requires only a web camera to capture a person’s movements digitally in 3-D. Credit: Oliver Dietze Many applications require that people and their

Computer scientists use wave packet theory to develop realistic, detailed water wave simulations in real time
Wave packet theory has inspired a new water wave simulation algorithm. The pictures are screenshots taken from the software developed by the team. Credit: IST Austria Think about the last
New system greatly speeds common parallel-computing algorithms
A new system dubbed Fractal achieves 88-fold speedups through a parallelism strategy known as speculative execution. Credit: MIT News The chips in most modern desktop computers have four “cores,” or
Team accelerates rendering with AI
Neural networks, which learn to perform computational tasks by analyzing large sets of training data, are responsible for today’s best-performing artificial intelligence systems, from speech recognition systems, to automatic …
New technique elucidates the inner workings of neural networks trained on visual data
Neural networks learn to perform computational tasks by analyzing large sets of training data. But once they’ve been trained, even their designers rarely have any idea what data elements they’re
Discrimination, lack of diversity, and societal risks of data mining highlighted in big data
Credit: Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers A special issue of Big Data presents a series of insightful articles that focus on Big Data and Social and Technical Trade-Offs. Despite the
Computer scientists design flat sheets that transform themselves into smooth-surfaced, free-form objects
CurveUps are flat materials that transform themselves through material forces into the desired 3-D object. Credit: IST Austria 3D printers have been around since the 1980s, but we are still
Inference of Bayesian networks made fast and easy using an extended depth-first search algorithm
In fields such as engineering, economics or finance, highly complex decisions must be made, often incorporating multiple, at times contradictory, objectives. Highly specialised computer algorithms can help find the best
