RAMBO can cut indexing times for huge DNA databases Rice University computer scientists are sending RAMBO to rescue genomic researchers who sometimes wait days or weeks for search results from enormous DNA databases. DNA sequencing is so popular, genomic datasets are doubling in size every two years, and the tools to search the data havent kept pace. Researchers who compare DNA across genomes or study the evolution of organisms like the virus that causes COVID-19 often wait weeks for software t...

Credit Anna Schlutt / Michigan Radio Walter Lasecki, a well-known University of Michigan computer science assistant professor, is resigning as of August 30 amid multiple allegations of sexual misconduct against him.  The Department of Computer Science and Engineering said Lasecki, in the meantime, will not be able to have in-person interactions with students. The Michigan Daily, U of M’s independent student newspaper, initially detailed the allegations against Lasecki from four people dating...

When it comes to AI research, we saturate the capabilities of AI to the level of our current computational power, and then we wait for Moore’s Law to catch up again. This in many ways is what summarises the history of AI.

Drones can elicit emotions from people, which could help integrate them into society more easily Joy, sadness, fear, anger, and surprise were the easiest to recognize. A A Reset Could we learn to love a robot? Maybe. New research suggests that drones, at least, could elicit an emotional response in people if we put cute little faces on them. A set of rendered faces representing six basic emotions in three different intensity levels that were used in the study. Image credits Vi...
