The advancement of autonomous driving technology heavily relies on the ability to predict the movement of nearby vehicles and pedestrians accurately. Minor delays or errors in these predictions can lead to catastrophic accidents. Unfortunately, existing solutions often struggle to understand complex driving scenarios efficiently. However, a research team led by City University of Hong Kong
Label distribution learning (LDL) is a groundbreaking approach that addresses the issue of label ambiguity in traditional supervised learning scenarios. However, this new learning paradigm comes at a cost – annotation with label distribution is significantly more expensive. In this article, we will dive into the limitations of traditional active learning (AL) approaches in dealing
In July 2023, southern Europe experienced an unprecedented heat wave with temperatures soaring to around 45°C. However, there was a place in Spain that got even hotter, reaching a scorching 1,400°C, yet it didn’t make headlines. This place was the Plataforma Solar de Almería, a test site in Almería province where mirrors focus the abundant
Saudi Arabia is undergoing a transformation in its gaming industry, with a growing emphasis on local game production and a vision to become a hub for game developers. The kingdom’s passion for gaming and eSports has been evident, and its national gaming and eSports strategy aims to foster creativity and innovation within the industry. As
Robots based on soft materials are becoming increasingly popular due to their ability to replicate the appearance, movements, and abilities of humans and animals. However, the production of these robots on a large scale has been a challenge. The high cost of their components or the complex fabrication process has hindered their scalability. Researchers at
The growing market for smart and wearable electronic devices has sparked immense interest in developing next-generation energy storage systems with energy storage capabilities and color-changing properties. However, current electrochromic devices have limited electrical conductivity, resulting in low efficiency in electron and ion mobility, as well as low storage capacities. These batteries have consequently been restricted
The advancements in driverless car technology have paved the way for vehicles with auto-pilot capabilities. While these cars offer a more convenient driving experience, there are concerns regarding the readiness of drivers to respond to warning signals when engaged in other activities. A recent study by researchers from the University College London (UCL) explores the
There is a growing concern regarding the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and its potential to become sentient. As AI becomes more integrated into our daily lives, the question of whether computers can develop consciousness arises. While some argue that computers can never possess emotions and subjective experiences, others propose that our understanding of consciousness
The widespread availability of a robust and efficient charging network is poised to revolutionize the electric truck industry by 2035. Recent research conducted by the Oeko-Institut sheds light on the potential for increased new registrations of battery electric trucks, with the goal of reaching 100% adoption. This article will delve into the key findings of
