Wikipedia is a unique fountain of free knowledge, but the world’s most popular encyclopaedia isn’t always accurate. The site’s crowdsourced editing model is prone to vandalism and biases. While its reputation for accuracy has improved, even Wikipedia doesn’t consider itself a reliable source. The Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that oversees Wikipedia, regularly explores new solutions for these shortcomings. Its latest effort harnesses the power of AI. The foundation recently... Read more ›

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson recently expressed concerns over China’s aims in space, and in particular, that China would, in some way, claim ownership over the Moon and stop other countries from exploring it.

We can model the motions of planets in the Solar System quite accurately using Newton’s laws of physics. But in the early 1970s, scientists noticed that this didn’t work for disc galaxies – stars at their outer edges, far from the gravitational force of all the matter at their center – were moving much faster than Newton’s theory predicted. This made physicists propose that an invisible substance called “dark matter”... Read more ›

There are two realities when it comes to artificial intelligence. In one, the future’s so bright you need to put on welding goggles just to glance at it. AI is a backbone technology that’s just as necessary for global human operations as electricity and the internet. But in the other reality, winter is coming. An “AI winter,” is a period in which nothing can grow. That means nobody’s hiring, nobody’s... Read more ›

Wimbledon is a unique event in the British sports calendar. While fans of soccer, rugby and cricket follow their teams throughout the year, the country’s tennis obsession only lasts during the two-week tournament in London. In many cases, spectators don’t even know most of the players’ names. Their main attraction to the championship is a summer’s day indulging in the traditions of a national institution. Wimbledon’s organizers want to turn... Read more ›

However, choosing a used model can get you into a car immediately — if you’re willing to... Read more ›

A team of researchers at Jilin Engineering Normal University in China recently published a paper indicating they’d built an AI model capable of recognizing human facial expressions. I’m going to save you some time here: they most certainly did not. Such a thing isn’t currently possible. The ability to accurately recognize human emotions is what we here at Neural would refer to as a “deity-level” feat. The only people who... Read more ›

Communicating with crypto fans requires specific skills and attributes. There’s an esoteric language to learn, new social norms to adopt, and a toxically-positive philosophy to embrace. But perhaps the most important credential of all is a Telegram account. The social media and messaging app provides both public square and private rooms for crypto enthusiasts. So popular is the platform that those without it risk being ostracized from the community. That... Read more ›

For most of our lives, stereo has been the primary way of rendering the music we consume. Immersive audio systems like surround sound have been around for decades, but immersive audio content has been rare outside of TV and film. But perhaps that shouldn’t be surprising: reproducing and, especially, creating immersive audio content is awfully inconvenient. Luckily, things are starting to change. Immersive audio is finally becoming accessible to the... Read more ›
