Machine Learning Research
Researchers typically downsize images for vision networks to accommodate limited memory and accelerate processing. A new method not only compresses images but yields better classification.

I decided last weekend not to use a learning algorithm. Sometimes, a non-machine learning method works best. Now that my daughter is a little over two years old and highly mobile, I want to make sure the baby gate that keeps her away...

Ideally, real-time 3D applications such as virtual and augmented reality transition smoothly between different viewpoints of a scene — but generating a fresh perspective can take time. New research speeds the process.

Foiling attackers who try to lure email users into clicking on a malicious link is a cat-and-mouse game, as phishing tactics evolve to evade detection. But machine learning models designed to recognize phishing attempts can evolve, too, through automatic retraining and checks to maintain accuracy.
