You know how when it's raining or snowing, it's hard to see clearly in videos? Well, scientists have been trying to fix this using something called convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The problem is, these networks can only handle single images and don't really understand the difference between on
Heavy rains are causing some schools in the Midlands to change their Thursday plans. Bamberg District 3 is going digital, making it an e-learning day. Orangeburg County School District is closing their doors due to flooding roads. Both districts will keep an eye on conditions and share updates as ne
Precipitation is crucial for understanding the water cycle, including runoff, soil moisture, and evaporation. However, missing data at weather stations can hinder the accuracy of hydrological analysis. To tackle this, researchers developed a tool using machine learning to detect and predict missing
A military judge has just ruled that plea deals made with three key suspects in the 9/11 attacks are still valid. This includes Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who is believed to be the mastermind.

Imagine trying to understand a complex puzzle by only looking at the pieces' colors. That's similar to how we've been categorizing crimes. We slap a single label on each crime, like "burglary" or "assault, " and call it a day. But crimes are way more intricate than that. They involve a mix of behavi
Financial experts rely on factor models to grasp how different assets behave together and manage risks. But after major events like the COVID-19 pandemic, these models might need a reality check. That's where the mosaic permutation test comes in. It's a clever way to ensure your models are still doi
Have you ever thought about how you read and understand documents? Humans can easily connect ideas across paragraphs, tables, and even figures. But getting machines to do the same thing isn't so simple. Traditionally, different machine learning techniques were used for different parts of a document—
Get ready, gamers! Microsoft is about to drop a new edition of its top-notch aviation simulator, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, onto Game Pass. This isn't just any update—it's a massive game changer. We're talking new career modes that let you explore different flight disciplines, challenge modes
In a historic move, Nebraska voters have decided to keep the state's current abortion restrictions in place. They voted to enshrine a ban on abortions after 12 weeks in the state constitution.
