The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) has awarded Vidi grants to ten researchers from the UvA and the Academic Medical Center (AMC-UvA, part of Amsterdam UMC).

A Berkeley Lab intern and his mentor develop an algorithm that will extract better structures from low-quality diffraction data Univ.

A fractal is a pattern that repeats itself at different scales. It is ideal for modeling nature: a tree is a branch of a branch of a branch; mountains are peaks within peaks; clouds are puffs of puffs, and so on.

DOD-funded team is developing guiding principles for popular form of AI Deep learning is an increasingly popular form of artificial intelligence that's routinely used in products and services that impact hundreds of millions of lives, despite the fact that no one quite understands how it works.

The fact that there are many different types of infinities is one of the big puzzles in mathematics.

The ONS is one of the leading data institutes globally in the reporting of SDG data, with headline data for 78 per cent of the SDG indicators.

Scientists at a new UCL centre will use tools such as machine learning to analyse intensive care data from two London hospitals to find clues that will improve the care of critically ill adults and babies.

Share on: Share on Twitter Share on Facebook Share on LinkedIn University of Michigan researchers have developed a mathematical model that allows public health officials to determine how various levels of lockdown affect both the economy and the mortality rate of COVID-19.

Optimistic predictions that 'herd immunity' could be reached with fewer than 40 percent of the population infected or vaccinated should not be relied upon With no vaccine and the disease still preval

Visualizations poised to enrich teaching, scientific communication Some people look at an equation and see a bunch of numbers and symbols; others see beauty.

Approach for generating numbers at random may help analyses of complex systems, from Earth's climate to financial markets.

Novel training method could shrink carbon footprint for greener deep learning Rice University's Early Bird could care less about the worm; it's looking for megatons of greenhouse gas emissions. Early Bird is an energy-efficient method for training deep neural networks (DNNs), the form of artificial intelligence (AI) behind self-driving cars, intelligent assistants, facial recognition and dozens more high-tech applications.

By Birgit Baustädter Michael Kerber from the Institute of Geometry at TU Graz uses topological methods - a branch of mathematics and geometry - to extract the secrets of complex data sets.

A new mathematical framework that mimics the spread of a virus using mobile phone technology could lead to safer and more effective easing of social distancing.

Nine Cambridge scientists are among the new Fellows announced today by the Royal Society. At this time of global crisis, the importance of scientific thinking, and the medicines, technologies and insights it delivers, has never been clearer.

Six members of the University of Chicago faculty have been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences , one of the nation's oldest and most prestigious honorary societies.

Using the famous computer game Minecraft, Mathematicians at EPFL have developed a video game around Eulerian Cycles.

Statisticians Professor Gianluca Baio (UCL Statistical Science) and Professor Marta Blangiardo (Imperial College London) explain why it's hard to calculate the actual number of deaths due to Covid-19 and the steps that need taking to make sense of what is happening. Nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." Right? Well, not quite.
