Does the weather influence the success of pop music? A study involving the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Empirical Aesthetics suggests that the weather influences the Top 10 charts. Machines learn faster in quantum systems For AI systems, learning in “superposition” pays off. It allows them to simultaneously pursue multiple paths and thus learn faster. Swiss researchers decode AI thought processes Researchers have developed a new method for decoding the thinking of artificial intelligences. This is particularly important for situations in which self-learning computer programmes make decisions with implications for human lives. AI beats human player at StarCraft II The artificial intelligence AlphaStar has beaten the best human players at the computer game StarCraft II. According to a study, the system developed by Google’s development forge DeepMind scored better than 99.8 percent of active human gamers. University of Zurich teaches drones tricks Thanks to a navigation algorithm, drones are learning to autonomously perform acrobatic maneuvers. Using simulations, the autonomous aircraft are trained to become faster, more agile, and more efficient. Robot dispenses hugs on demand Need a hug and no one familiar to wrap your arms around? A doctoral student at the "Max Planck ETH Center for Learning Systems" is developing a hugging robot that could once alleviate loneliness.
