The world's top AI and machine learning experts from fields such as big data, healthcare and neurotechnology showcased their research yesterday.

Doctor Honoris causa of ENS de Lyon, November 9, 2018 Biography Marc Snir is currently Professor of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) in the United States.

Zohar Manna, who pioneered theoretical computer science techniques that today help form the basis for artificial intelligence and for reliable software, died at his home in Israel.

Stanford engineers combine two types of computers to create a faster and less energy-intensive image processor for use in autonomous vehicles, security cameras and medical devices.

TUM in Rankings In this year's Shanghai Ranking, the Technical University of Munich (TUM) is ranked 48th.

University of Melbourne researchers have  developed a software tool  that uses applied mathematics and big data analytics to predict the boundary of where a landslide will occur, two weeks in advance.

Hours of contemplation, approaching a solution in small steps, and a healthy scepticism towards computer-generated results. In these guest articles, two mathematicians at the University of Münster, Dr. Franziska Jahnke und Dr. Mira Schedensack , explain what mathematical research means to them and what the aim of this research is.

Users can quickly visualize designs that optimize multiple parameters at once. MIT researchers have developed a tool that makes it much easier and more efficient to explore the many compromises that come with designing new products. Designing any product - from complex car parts down to workaday objects such as wrenches and lamp stands - is a balancing act with conflicting performance tradeoffs.

By computing pressure waves cast off by rapidly moving and vibrating surfaces - such as a cymbal - a new sound synthesis system developed by Stanford researchers can automatically render realistic sound for computer animations.

Held every four years, the International Congress of Mathematicians is the most important scientific event in the discipline.

Three Yale faculty members - Vishwa Deep Dixit, Igor Frenkel, and Donna Spiegelman - were appointed to endowed professorships.

A new video game, designed by researchers at the University of Cambridge, gives teenagers an understanding of electricity by solving a series of puzzles in a bid to encourage more of them to study engineering at university.

People from smaller cities are more likely to migrate than people from larger cities, according to a new study by UCL academics.

Introduction: UAntwerp scientists carried out in-depth study of 'invisible wave of separations' and conclude: couples who do not marry tend to split up much more quickly.

In data-science parlance, graphs are structures of nodes and connecting lines that are used to map scores of complex data relationships. Analyzing graphs is useful for a broad range of applications, such as ranking webpages, analyzing social networks for political insights, or plotting neuron structures in the brain.

A new maths institute will be established at the University of Sydney thanks to a $5 million donation.

Oxford mathematician Sir Andrew Wiles, renowned for his proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, has been appointed by Her Majesty the Queen to be Oxford's first Regius Professor of Mathematics.

In the field of self-driving cars, algorithms for controlling lane changes are an important topic of study.

Carnegie Mellon University researchers are working across many disciplines to create technologies that will improve and extend the life of transportation infrastructure. Researchers in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) are leaders in indirect structural health monitoring, or developing a low-cost, low-maintenance approach in which vehicles use sensors to indirectly monitor roadways, railways and bridges while traveling.

For News Media FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 5/7/18 Beyond superstorms, understanding the dynamics of swirling fluids could help engineers improve everything from airplane wings to artificial organs - even predicting the weather.

Genome-wide association studies, which look for links between particular genetic variants and incidence of disease, are the basis of much modern biomedical research.
