A new study published in JMIR Medical Informatics describes how a “smart home” prototype may help people with dementia dress themselves through automated assistance, enabling them to maintain independence and dignity and providing their caregivers with a much-needed respite. People with dementia or other cognitive disorders have difficulty with everyday activities – such as bathing, dressing, eating, […]
Machine Learning Helps Spot Counterfeit Consumer Products
A team of researchers has developed a new mechanism that uses machine-learning algorithms to distinguish between genuine and counterfeit versions of the same product. The work, led by New York University Professor Lakshminarayanan Subramanian, will be presented on Monday, Aug. 14 at the annual KDD Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining in Halifax, Nova […]

Chemists Offer Enhanced 3D Look Inside Batteries
A team of chemists has developed a method to yield highly detailed, three-dimensional images of the insides of batteries. The technique, based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), offers an enhanced approach to monitor the condition of these power sources in real time. “One particular challenge we wanted to solve was to make the measurements 3D […]
Scientists Teach Machines To Learn Like Humans
A team of scientists has developed an algorithm that captures our learning abilities, enabling computers to recognize and draw simple visual concepts that are mostly indistinguishable from those created by humans. The work, which appears in the latest issue of the journal Science, marks a significant advance in the field — one that dramatically shortens […]
Examining the Inner Workings of Supercapacitors
A team of chemists from New York University and the University of Cambridge has developed a method for examining the inner workings of battery-like devices called supercapacitors, which can be charged up extremely quickly and can deliver high electrical power. Their technique, based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), establishes a means for monitoring and potentially […]
