Cosmic radiation: Breakthrough thanks to artificial intelligence
AI recognizes the mass of the most energetic particles of cosmic radiation The use of artificial intelligence (AI) scares many people as neural networks, modeled after the human brain, are so complex that even experts do not understand them. However, the risk to society of applying opaque algorithms varies depending on the application. While AI […]

Identifying acute stress based on posture
Does stress in social situations cause a particular posture? Do I move in a different way when I feel under pressure or fear a potential conflict? Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have been investigating these questions in their research. Using the results of their research, they were able to train machine learning models to distinguish […]
