Fingerprints are like our personal signatures, unique to each person. They are often used to unlock phones or confirm identities. But what if we could sort them into groups automatically? This could speed up tasks like crime scene analysis or security checks. A recent study explored this idea using artificial intelligence (AI). The study focused on a type of AI call...

Fish maw, a prized delicacy with varying prices and medicinal benefits, can be tricky to identify. Scientists recently combined two powerful tools—Wasserstein generative adversarial networks (WGAN-GP) and spectral fusion—to improve how we recognize different types of fish maw. They collected data from Raman and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy of four fish maw types:...
