"Hey Siri, how's my hair?" Your smartphone may soon be able to give you an honest answer, thanks to a new machine learning algorithm designed by U of T Engineering researchers Parham Aarabi and Wenzhi Guo. The team designed an algorithm that learns directly from human instructions, rather than an existing set of examples, and outperformed conventional methods of training neural networks by 160 per cent. But more surprisingly, their algorithm also outperformed its own training by nine per cent—it learned to recognize hair in pictures with greater reliability than that enabled by the training, marking a significant leap forward for artificial intelligence. Aarabi and Guo trained their algorithm to identify people's hair in photographs—a much more challenging task for computers than it is for humans. "Our algorithm learned to correctly classify difficult, borderline cases—distinguishing the texture of hair versus the texture of the background," says Aarabi...

The days of wearing bifocals or constantly swapping out reading glasses might soon come to an end. A team led by University of Utah electrical and computer engineering professor Carlos Mastrangelo and doctoral student Nazmul Hasan has created "smart glasses" with liquid-based lenses that can automatically adjust the focus on what a person is seeing, whether it is far away or close up. Research on the adaptive lenses was published this week in a special edition of the journal, Optics Express. The paper was co-authored by U electrical and computer engineering associate professor Hanseup Kim and graduate researcher Aishwaryadev Banerjee. "Most people who get reading glasses have to put them on and take them off all the time," says Mastrangelo, who also is a professor for USTAR, the Utah Science Technology and Research economic development initiative. "You don't have to do that anymore. You put these on, and it's always clear." The human eye ...

The popular Pattern Lock system used to secure millions of Android phones can be cracked within just five attempts – and more complicated patterns are the easiest to crack, security experts reveal. Pattern Lock is a security measure that protects devices, such as mobile phones or tablets, and which is preferred by many to PIN codes or text passwords. It is used by around 40 per cent of Android device owners.

There is nothing in the world more amazing than the wonders of science and nature unfolding before us. The technology and the biological life we are surrounded by everyday are a proof to the fact that science is far more fascinating than any magical or fantasy tale we’ve encountered. So, here are some such incredible science facts that will take you on an irresistible trip to a world of wonder. 1. Ferrofluid – a suspension of magnetic nano-particles that form patterns of spikes in the presence of magnetic field.    Ferrofluid is a colloid made of magnetic nanoparticles suspended in a carrier fluid such as organic solvent or water. Ever single one of these particles are coated with a surfactant so that they won’t clump together into a lump and stay fluid. The formation of spikes is due to normal-field instability, an effect that causes the fluid to assume a shape that minimizes the total energy of the system. It was first invented as a liquid...

Over the 50 years or so that electronics circuit designers have been working on semiconductor-based logic circuits, many designs have been developed for creating logic gates. Because each approach to designing logic circuits results in an entire family of logic circuits for the various types of gates (NOT, AND, OR, NAND, NOR, XOR, and XNOR), the different designs are often referred to as design families. Here are the most popular:                             RTL: Resistor-Transistor Logic, which uses resistors and bipolar transistors. DTL: Diode-Transistor Logic, which is similar to RTL but adds a diode to each input circuit. TTL: Transistor-Transistor Logi c which uses two transistors, one configured to work as a switch and the other configured to work as an amplifier. The switching transistor is used in the input circuits, and the amplifier transistor is used in the output circuit...

Artificial Intelligence is a branch in computer science in which we train computer to behave like humans. The term was coined in 1956 by John McCarthy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.            Currently, no computers exhibit full artificial intelligence (that is, are able to simulate human behavior). The greatest advances have occurred in the field of games playing. The best computer chess programs are now capable of beating humans. In May, 1997, an IBM super-computer called Deep Blue defeated world chess champion Gary Kasparov in a chess match. An artificial intelligence system has accurately predicted when patients with heart conditions will die, according to new results published in the journal Radiology. The study was conducted by a team of scientists at the London Institute of Medical Services, who trained the software to analyze blood tests and intricate 3D models of beating hearts in order to detect si...

What is File Extension? A file extension, sometimes called a file suffix or a filename extension, is the character or group of characters after the period that make up an entire file name. The file extension helps an operating system, like Windows, determine which program on your computer the file is associated with. For example, the file myfile.docx ends in docx, a file extension that might be associated with Microsoft Word on your computer. When you attempt to open this file, Windows sees that the file ends in a DOCX extension, which it already knows should be opened with the Microsoft Word program. File extensions also often indicate the file type, or file format, of the file... but not always. Any file's extensions can be renamed but that won't convert the file to another format or change anything about the file other than this portion of its name. File Extensions vs File Formats File extensions and file formats are often spoken about interchangeably - I do it h...
