Body height and weight estimation from a single non-frontal face image suffers from poor performance due to large face pose variance and lack of labeled data. To solve the problems, a research team led by Shiguang SHAN published their new research in Frontiers of Computer Science co-published by Higher Education Press and Springer Nature.

Automatic link establishment (ALE) was developed to establish a simplified connection in high-frequency (HF) radio system. As a family of tweakable block ciphers, HALFLOOP was standardized by the U.S. Department of Defense to protect the transmitted messages during ALE. According to existing attacks of HALFLOOP, there is a pending search for stronger non-generic attacks against the structure of ciphers itself. To solve the problems, a research team led by Shaozhen CHEN published their new progress on 15 April 2026 in Frontiers of Computer Science co-published by Higher Education Press and Springer Nature.

New research examines Finnish lower secondary special needs math instruction via a survey of teachers, focusing on topics taught, preparedness, and instructional practices. Teachers report high confidence overall, but gaps remain in data processing, statistics, and probability. While guided practice and feedback are common, high-impact strategies such as mastery learning, scaffolding, peer tutoring, and structured sequences are used inconsistently. Findings reveal a disconnect between preparation and classroom practice, highlighting the need for targeted training and support.

AI is quickly becoming a part of our everyday lives. From work tasks to gym routines and even home improvement projects, AI can be used to help with just about everything. Which is why Binghamton University, State University of New York is working to educate the public on it.

Binghamton is partnering with SUNY Cortland, SUNY Delhi, SUNY New Paltz, SUNY Oneonta, Broome Community College, and Tompkins Cortland Community College to launch the Advancing AI for the Public Good initiative. The three-year, $900,000 initiative includes a free online AI Prep for Careers noncredit microcredential to introduce students to foundational AI principles, workforce applications, and ethical considerations.
