In recent years, non-destructive imaging technology has made rapid advancements in the field of painting research and preservation. Among these, macro X-ray fluorescence (MA-XRF) analysis stands out, helping experts identify pigments and analyze painting techniques, providing valuable insights into the artist's creative process. However, MA-XRF technology generates large and complex datasets that challenge traditional data analysis methods. Recently, Italian researchers applied deep learning algorithms to spectral analysis of MA-XRF datasets, developing a brand new analysis approach.

Tencent Cloud and Xiaomi have collaborated to launch the new Smart Lock M30 Pro. This product utilizes Tencent's 'palm scanning technology' that leverages AI recognition capabilities of palm prints and palm veins, providing users with a novel and convenient way to unlock securely. This technology is based on Tencent's proprietary 'palm print + palm vein' recognition algorithm, which captures images of the veins beneath the palm skin using near-infrared light for high-precision identity verification. Since every individual's palm vein pattern is unique, this technology not only enhances the convenience of unlocking but also significantly increases security.

According to 36Kr, Xiaomi's automotive autonomous driving team recently completed a new round of organizational restructuring, marking the entry of Xiaomi's autonomous driving business into a new acceleration phase.

With the rise of generative AI, the prompt trading market is rapidly expanding. However, current trading platforms, exemplified by PromptBase, are predominantly seller-driven in pricing and lack objective price measurement standards. In response to this challenge, the multimedia and intelligent security team at Fudan University has proposed an innovative prompt trading model aimed at better adapting to a future buyer-driven market. This new trading model consists of two main phases: prompt category selection and pricing strategy formulation. In the first phase, the platform employs a greedy search-based multi-armed bandit algorithm to...

Within the complex neural networks of the human brain, billions of neurons are continuously generating electrical activity, encoding our every thought, action, and sensation. The complexity of this neural symphony has long been a significant challenge in brain-computer interface (BCI) research. However, researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) have recently made a major breakthrough by developing a novel artificial intelligence algorithm called DPAD (Decoupled Prioritized Dynamic Analysis), which promises to fundamentally change the way we interpret brain activity.
