Abstract: This paper investigates the distributed set-membership filtering for a class of discrete systems over wireless sensor networks. A new type of coding ...

Here’s a cheat sheet for decoding this year’s A.I.-driven tech lingo, from RAG to superintelligence. By Brian X. Chen Brian X. Chen is The Times’s lead consumer technology writer and the author of ...

The room we are in is locked. It is windowless and lit from above by a fluorescent bulb. In the hallway outside—two stories beneath the city of London—attendants in dark suits patrol silently, giving ...

We can't protect what we don't understand. From decoding wolf howls to making sense of millions of citizen-science sightings, we explore the tools helping researchers understand the wild in new ways.

After poring over recordings from sperm whales in the Caribbean, UC Berkeley linguist Gasper Begus had an unlikely breakthrough. According to a new study from Begus and his colleagues with Project ...

For centuries, humans have drawn a line between themselves and other species, initially claiming that other animals couldn’t feel pain. Science proved they could. Then the argument shifted: Animals ...

History has seen many waves of Egyptomania but, until the 19th century, scholars remained baffled by the many repeated symbols and motifs wrapped around every new find, from majestic monuments to ...

Abstract: This paper introduces a novel method to encode and decode large codeblocks across an optical channel operating in the high photon information efficiency (HPIE) regime using high-order pulse ...

A recent paper from Friedrich-Alexander University benchmarks energy consumption and compression efficiency for six video codecs across software and hardware decoders. While the study uses VP9 as a ...
