10+ min ago   (464+ words) Every living cell depends on thousands of distinct protein families, each folding into precise three-dimensional shapes to carry out the molecular tasks that sustain life....

17+ min ago   (68+ words) Depth perception is one of the most fundamental challenges in computer vision, and for robots, autonomous vehicles, and augmented reality systems, it is the difference between smooth navigation and costly failure. Deep learning has produced stereo matching networks that achieve…...

17+ min ago   (90+ words) Artificial intelligence has become an increasingly powerful tool in the search for new medicines, but a persistent problem has haunted the field: neural networks that invent molecules are remarkably creative yet notoriously unreliable. They can propose chemical structures that look…...

31+ min ago   (55+ words) Federated learning has become one of the most consequential architectures in modern machine learning, allowing hospitals, banks, factories and smartphone networks to train shared models without moving sensitive data off site. Yet the approach has long carried an uncomfortable question:…...

37+ min ago   (618+ words) Every day, computational biologists release new methods for analyzing genomes, single cells, microbiomes and molecular signatures, and every day researchers struggle with the same question: which method actually works best for their data? The answer usually depends on benchmarks—structured…...

41+ min ago   (55+ words) Artificial intelligence systems that watch video have become remarkably good at recognizing what they see, but they remain surprisingly poor at understanding why things happen. A research team now reports a new self-supervised framework, called TRACE, that pushes video understanding…...

1+ hour, 18+ min ago   (639+ words) Researchers at the University of Málaga have unveiled GenPot, a generative honeypot architecture that uses fine-tuned large language models to lure attackers into elaborate, entirely fake web services — and in a controlled trial, cybersecurity experts were unable to distinguish it…...

1+ hour, 41+ min ago   (68+ words) A voice-controlled home robot that can navigate a house, switch appliances on and off, and hold a natural conversation in multiple languages has been built for less than 10,000 rupees — roughly one-fifth of the cost of comparable commercial systems. The robot,…...

1+ hour, 41+ min ago   (84+ words) Chronic kidney disease is one of the world’s most burdensome chronic conditions, a slow and often silent deterioration of renal function that affects hundreds of millions of people and frequently goes undetected until the damage is advanced. Staging the disease…...
