Researchers build a Deep convolutional neural network that can map every building in the US, using satellite imagery.  To do this, they combined signed-distance labels with SegNet (a deep learning network).  The system processes an area of 56 kilometer square in less than one minute. In the last couple of years, high resolution remote sensing imagery has ...

Everyone wants to be fit. I mean, who doesn’t want toned muscles and carved abs for themselves, or at least a good lean look? But becoming fit is not so easy. You have tones of things that you need to keep in mind, spend a lot of time in the gym and be patient to ...

GitHub is the best platform for sharing code with colleagues, classmates, friends and complete strangers. To make sure you do this without any interruption, GitHub provides dozens of features including access control, task management, feature requests, bug tracking and wikis for all projects. Tom Preston-Werner, Chris Wanstrath and PJ Hyett launched GitHub.com on 10th April 2008, and within ...

Astronomers detected a fastest growing black hole located more than 12 billion light years away from Earth.  The size of this supermassive black hole is equivalent to 20 billion Suns and it is growing 1% every 1 million years.  It will help researchers study the formation of matter in the early galaxies.  Objects with enormously high ...

The one thing that makes Android superior than other operating system is the level of customizability it offers to its users. Any file can be configured. Its open nature has encouraged a big community of developers to use the open-source code and add new features for advanced users or bring Android to devices build with ...

Developers have built an image captioning AI [Norman] and trained it on extremely violent content from reddit.  As a result, Norman only observes death in whatever pictures it looks at.  This kind of research is important to show how data behind artificial intelligence matters deeply. For some people, the term ‘Artificial Intelligence’ is a nightmare, may be ...

At WWDC 2018, Apple unveiled its new operating system for iPhone and iPad: iOS 12. Instead of introducing more new features, this time they focused on enhancing performance and removing bugs. While the stable version won’t be available until this fall, the company showcased dozens of improvements and added features to look forward to. Ranging ...

Science is a fascinating subject, it’s something that no one gets bored of (at least geeks like us). We use science to complete different tasks in our day-to-day life. Knowledge of science is basically the reason why we are the most advanced species on the Earth and possibly out there in the universe. Don’t you want ...

Engineers designed a new device that could be connected to a low-powered PC/laptop to process large graphs.  It could handle massive graphs with up to 4 billion nodes and 128 billion edges.  Tech companies could use this device to decrease energy footprint by using fewer servers.  In computer science, graphs are structures of nodes and ...

The world runs on code and ciphers. From ATMs to mobile, shopping online and your private conversations, cryptography is involved in every moment. In fact, life as we know today would not be possible without it. Cryptography is the science of secret communication where the aim is to transfer the information over an insecure channel in such a ...

Special forces, or special operations forces are highly trained military units, well equipped to perform unconventional, unorthodox covert missions that are typically related to a nation’s political, economic purposes. There are many accounts of distinct forces throughout the history of warfare, which specialize in covert operations rather than conventional combat. The Romans used small, fast, ...

Researchers develop a fully-convolutional deep network to extrapolate view beyond two input images.  They used a layered representation to show hidden surfaces of input images and predict output views.  The system can handle both indoor and outdoor pictures.  Over the past decade, photography has changed a lot and this change has been driven by smartphones’ better hardware ...
