MIT Sleep Monitor Can Track People’s Sleeping Positions Using Radio Signals
A team of MIT researchers has developed a device that can monitor people’s sleep postures without having to use cameras or to stick sensors on their body. Engadget reports: It’s a wall-mounted monitor the team dubbed BodyCompass, and it works by analyzing radio signals as they bounce off objects in a room. As the researchers explained, a device that can monitor…
New ‘AI Jesus’ can deliver a sermon, but will you understand it?

AI Distinguishes Birds That Even Experts Can’t
Slashdot reader sciencehabit quote Science magazine:
It’s a fact of life for birders that some species are fiendishly difficult to tell apart — in particular, the sparrows and drab songbirds dubbed “little brown jobs.” Distinguishing individuals is nearly impossible. Now, a computer program analyzing photos and videos has accomplished that feat. The advance promises to reveal new information on bird behaviors… The…
New Imaging System Creates Pictures By Measuring Time
An anonymous reader writes: Photos and videos are usually produced by capturing photons — the building blocks of light—with digital sensors. For instance, digital cameras consist of millions of pixels that form images by detecting the intensity and color of the light at every point of space. 3-D images can then be generated either by positioning two or more cameras around…
Neural Network-Enhanced ‘Cognitive Radio’ Communicates With ISS
IEEE Spectrum reports:
There’s still plenty that can disrupt radio communications… Rather than waiting for a human on Earth to tell the radio how to adapt its systems — during which the commands may have already become outdated — a radio with a neural network can do it on the fly. Such a device is called a cognitive radio. Its neural network…
OpenAI’s New Language Generator GPT-3 is Shockingly Good — and Completely Mindless
“Playing with GPT-3 feels like seeing the future,” Arram Sabeti, a San Francisco-based developer and artist, tweeted last week. That pretty much sums up the response on social media in the last few days to OpenAI’s latest language-generating AI. From a report: OpenAI first described GPT-3 in a research paper published in May. But last week it began drip-feeding the software…
MIT Removes Huge Dataset That Teaches AI Systems To Use Racist, Misogynistic Slurs
An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Register MIT has taken offline its highly cited dataset that trained AI systems to potentially describe people using racist, misogynistic, and other problematic terms. The database was removed this week after The Register alerted the American super-college. MIT also urged researchers and developers to stop using the training library, and to delete any…
MIT Apologizes, Permanently Pulls Offline Huge Dataset That Taught AI Systems To Use Racist, Misogynistic Slurs
MIT has taken offline its highly cited dataset that trained AI systems to potentially describe people using racist, misogynistic, and other problematic terms. From a report: The database was removed this week after The Register alerted the American super-college. And MIT urged researchers and developers to stop using the training library, and to delete any copies. “We sincerely apologize,” a professor…
Disney Research Creates Face-Swapping Technique For High-Res Video
shirappu writes: A new paper by Disney Research shows off a newly developed neural network that can swap faces in photos and videos at high-resolution. The idea behind this technology is to replace an actor’s performance with a different actor’s face, or for roles that require de-aging or increasing age, or for portraying actors who have passed away. Current face-swapping technology…
