Machine learning algorithms create potentially more accurate models than linear models, but any increase in accuracy over more traditional, better-understood, and more easily explainable techniques is ...

Long before algorithms, simulations, and seismic codes existed, traditional Indian architecture had already mastered resilience. Today, at the Earthquake Engineering Research Centre (EERC) at IIIT ...

Labs trying to understand the spread of microplastics have a unique problem: the tiny plastic particles are everywhere. Avoiding contamination of samples and experiments takes a lot of time and effort ...

For more than a century, giant patterns and pictures sketched into the plains south of Lima, Peru, have mystified archaeologists. Named for their makers, the Nazca people who lived between 200 BC and ...

Artificial intelligence systems are becoming increasingly powerful—but also harder to understand. A new study introduces ...

When Mario Krenn was studying quantum physics at the University of Vienna, he was trained in a particular way of designing new experiments: “You go to a blackboard, and you think very hard,” he said.

Despite their long history, it can still be difficult to embed clinical decision support into existing health information systems, particularly if they utilise machine learning and artificial ...

Novak Djokovic, 35, sometimes hangs out in a pressurised egg to enrich his blood with oxygen and gives pep talks to glasses of water, hoping to purify them with positive thinking before he drinks them ...
