AI That is Capable of Predicting Corruption

Image
                                          Researchers from the University of Valladolid (Spain) have created a computer model based on neural networks which provide in which Spanish provinces cases of corruption can appear with greater probability, as well as the conditions that favor their appearance. This alert system confirms that the probabilities increase when the same party stays in government more years.            Two researchers from the University of Valladolid have developed a model with artificial neural networks to predict in which Spanish provinces corruption cases could appear with more probability, after one, two and up to three years. The study, published in Social Indicators Research , does not mention the provinces most prone to corruption so as not to generate controversy, expl...

Tiny Vision Processing Chip, EQSCALE Finally developed

Image
                                     A team of researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has developed a novel microchip, named EQSCALE, which is capable of capturing visual details from video frames at extremely low power consumption. The video feature extractor uses 20 times less power than existing best-in-class chips, and hence requires 20 times smaller battery, and could reduce the size of smart vision systems down to the millimetre range. For example, it can be powered continuously by a millimetre-sized solar cell without the need for battery replacement. Led by Associate Professor Massimo Alioto from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the NUS Faculty of Engineering, the team's discovery is a major step forward in developing millimetre-sized smart camer...

How to run a Java program on a Commandline

Image
      A command-line interface is a concept of interacting with a computer program whereby the user key in or issues commands to the program in form of lines of codes or command lines. These commands are handled by a program called a Command language interpreter or shell.       Command-line interface can also be referred to as command language interpreter (CLI) , Command-line user interface , console user interface or character user interface (CUI). Today Am going to show you how to write simple program in Java and run it on your computer command-line interface using Ubuntu. But before that, Let me give some of the importances of using Command-line interface instead of just the Graphical User Interface.  Requires few system resources to implement Automation of repetitive tasks is simplified command-line history can be kept its faster when running programs as long as you've mastered the commands.    There are few requirem...
