Voice assistants suck down a lot of battery power. MIT found a way of making them much thriftier. The post A New Chip Makes Voice Control More Efficient, Less Creepy appeared first on WIRED. Continue reading A New Chip Makes Voice Control More Efficient, Less Creepy
Training machines to effectively complete tasks is an ongoing area of research. This can be done in a variety of ways, from complex programming interfaces, to systems that understand commands in natural langauge. A team from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) wanted to see if it was possible for humans to communicate more directly when training a robot. Their system allows a user to correct a robot’s actions using only their brain.
The concept is simple – using an EEG cap to detect brainwaves, the system measures a special type of brain signals called “error-related potentials”. Simply …read more

We ogle images of gorgeous star-forming nebula from afar, but it’s tougher to reconstruct the nebula that formed our own cosmic hood. Continue reading Divining a New Solar System Timeline from Rocks Older than Earth
Researchers have seen a baryon decay for the first time, which may help explain why there is far more matter than anti-matter in the universe. Continue reading New LHC Experiments May Help Explain What Happened to All the Antimatter

Researchers from MIT CSAIL are using artificial intelligence to translate how people feel when they talk. The post MIT Made a Wearable That Knows How a Conversation’s Going appeared first on WIRED. Continue reading MIT Made a Wearable That Knows How a Conversation’s Going
To a casual observer it might seem as though our community is in the news rather a lot at the moment. It’s all about hacks on our TV screens in the soap opera of Washington politics, who hacked this, whether those people over there helped that lot hack the other lot, or even whether that person’s emails could have been hacked on that server. Keeping up with it as an outsider can become a full-time job.
Of course, as we all know even if the mainstream journalists (or should I refer to them colloquially as “hacks”?) don’t, it’s not us …read more
