Artificial Intelligence Is Developing A Sense Of Smell: What Could A Digital Nose Mean In Practice?

We already know we can teach machines to see. Sensors enable autonomous cars to take in visual information and make decisions about what to do next when they’re on the road.

Is your business stuck in the 2020 digital transformation rut?

The Covid-19 epidemic continues to affect businesses, with uncertainty around the depth and longevity of its impact – especially as 2020 saw many organizations rush through digitization in one form or another to protect employees and serve customers.

The need to know: IoT security

Welcome to the digital world, where cellphones hold your entire life in its database, tablets have become the new spiral notebooks, and contactless transactions make your day-to-day norms feel like futuristic experiences. The Internet of Things (IoT) has genuinely taken the cyberworld by storm, simplifying and connecting everything in its path.

De-risk your Messaging Middleware (before your preventable outage hits)

If you are an enterprise IT professional, you likely know that messaging middleware platforms are amongst the most stable.   As a result, you also know that the organization that manages and maintains this critical part of the IT stack can suffer from under-resourcing.

Put security first in cloud migration planning

Companies considering migration to a cloud environment usually focus first on infrastructure, from data centers to system performance to storage.

How Big Data Are Unlocking the Mysteries of Autism

When I started my pediatric genetic practice over 20 years ago, I was frustrated by constantly having to tell families and patients that I couldn’t answer many of their questions about autism and what the future held for them. What were the causes of their child’s particular behavioral and medical challenges? Would their child talk? Have seizures? What I did know was that research was the key to unlocking the mysteries of a remarkably heterogeneous disorder that affects more than five million Americans and has no FDA-approved treatments. Now, thanks in large part to the impact of genetic research, those answers are starting to come into focus.

Three Ways Digital Transformation Can Address The Senior Care Staffing Crisis

Covid-19 has disrupted virtually every aspect of the senior care industry, magnifying existing challenges and creating new ones. It’s turned a looming staffing shortage into a crisis of epic proportions. Exhausted employees left at alarming rates as turnover and burnout rates soared from a record high of 29% in late 2019 to a national average of 128% with some facilities reporting a 300% turnover rate, according to recent research.

What Is DevOps, and How Can It Work for You?

In the IT space, the buzzwords can be overwhelming — the acronyms, the shorthand, the metaphors. And making sense of those terms can feel dicey.

Machine learning algorithm helps unravel the physics underlying quantum systems

Scientists from the University of Bristol’s Quantum Engineering Technology Labs (QETLabs) have developed an algorithm that provides valuable insights into the physics underlying quantum systems—paving the way for significant advances in quantum computation and sensing, and potentially turning a new page in scientific investigation.

Nastel Releases Industry’s Fastest Time-to-Value AIOps and Transaction & Message Flow Tracking Platform

Artificial Intelligence Develops an Ear for Birdsong

We can learn a lot from nature if we listen to it more—and scientists around the world are trying to do just that. From mountain peaks to ocean depths, biologists are increasingly planting audio recorders to unobtrusively eavesdrop on the groans, shrieks, whistles and songs of whales, elephants, bats and especially birds. This summer, for example, more than 2,000 electronic ears will record the soundscape of California’s Sierra Nevada mountain range, generating nearly a million hours of audio. To avoid spending multiple human lifetimes decoding it, researchers are relying on artificial intelligence.

Why You Shouldn’t Hedge Against Bitcoin With Stocks

Measuring assets’ value in terms of time can help us understand why Bitcoin’s potential upside is so much greater than that of stocks.

Why would someone go all in on bitcoin as opposed to diversifying into other asset classes, particularly stocks? Why not hold an index tracking fund like the S&P 500?
