Chameleon AI program classifies objects in satellite images faster
Research
EPFL
An AI program can train neural networks, using just a handful of images, to rapidly characterize in satellite and drone data new objects like ocean debris, deforestation zones, urban areas and more.
More parallel 'traffic' observed in human brains than in animals
Research
EPFL
In a study comparing human brain communication networks with those of macaques and mice, EPFL researchers found that only the human brains transmitted information via multiple parallel pathways, yielding new insights into mammalian evolution.
Joint initiative for trustworthy AI
Politics
EPFL ETH Zurich
ETH Zurich and EPFL are launching the “Swiss AI Initiative”, whose purpose is to position Switzerland as a leading global hub for the development and implementation of transparent and reliable artificial intelligence (AI). The new Alps supercomputer based at the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) provides the supporting world-class infrastructure.
A color-based sensor to emulate skin's sensitivity
Research
EPFL
In a step toward more autonomous soft robots and wearable technologies, EPFL researchers have created a device that uses color to simultaneously sense multiple mechanical and temperature stimuli.
Grasping diseases by the roots
Research
PSI
Modern supercomputers and artificial intelligence are helping to decipher the causes of diseases. That could help improve diagnostics and therapies.
GreenFjord project the focus of researchers' efforts over the summer
Research
EPFL
GreenFjord is a four-year research program intended to investigate how climate change is affecting ecosystems in southern Greenland. The scientists just completed a first intensive field season where they won over the local residents. The next step will be to analyze the millions of datapoints they collected.
