Light-tunable polarization sensor could sharpen self-driving cars and medical scans
A technology that surpasses the limitations of existing sensors, which fail to distinguish between water and asphalt on dark roads, has emerged to enhance the accuracy of autonomous driving and medical diagnostics. A research team has developed a next-generation polarization sensor that can read the direction of light and change its own response.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and algorithms can and are being used to radicalize, polarize, and spread racism and political instability, says an academic. An expert argues that AI and algorithms are not just tools deployed by national security agencies to prevent malicious activity online, but can be contributors to polarization, radicalism…
Quantum sensors can be used in medical technologies, navigation systems, and more, but they’re too expensive for most people. That's where the Uncut Gem open source project comes in.
The human retina not only senses light signals, but also processes them simultaneously by capturing their rich dynamics, thus accelerating the task-dependent learning in the down-stream visual cortex. This synergy of both the retina and the visual cortex has inspired in-sensor multi-task learning.
