The 155,000-square-foot facility will deliver additional space for research, collaboration and education in the heart of Atlanta.
Adam Kohn, Ph.D., has been named the chair of the Dominick P. Purpura Department of Neuroscience at Albert Einstein College of Medicine following an extensive national search. Dr. Kohn, whose research focuses on visual processing, has been acting as the interim chair of the department for the past two years. He is a professor of neuroscience, of ophthalmology and visual sciences, and of systems & computational biology, and the Isidor Tachna Professor of Ophthalmology at Einstein.
Researchers from Shibaura Institute of Technology, Japan, have developed a novel 6D pose dataset designed to improve robotic grasping accuracy and adaptability in industrial settings. The dataset, which integrates RGB and depth images, demonstrates significant potential to enhance the precision of robots performing pick-and-place tasks in dynamic environments.
Researchers applied the mathematical theory of synchronization to clarify how recurrent neural networks (RNNs) generate predictions, revealing a certain map, based on the generalized synchronization, that yields correct target values. They showed that conventional reservoir computing (RC), a type of RNN, can be viewed as a linear approximation, and introduced a “generalized readout” incorporating further order approximations. Using a chaotic time-series forecasting task, they demonstrated that this approach dramatically enhances both prediction accuracy and robustness.
Doctors in the U.S. have reported feeling unprepared to care for people with disabilities and have revealed significant negative bias about this population, according to previous research. A new Northwestern Medicine study has found much of this could be rooted in their medical school training.
