Wondering why you are still seeing advertisements for holidays in your browser during a global pandemic? Its because most companies that place ads generally use traditional Machine Learning (ML) models that make predictions based on past behaviors. Thus, when the temperature drops, these models...

Image Credit: Princeton University What started as a happy accident and an odd measurement could lead to a new, cost-effective way of measuring fluid flow.  Often the course of science doesn’t run smooth and happy accidents can lead to major findings and discoveries. From Michelson and Morley’s failure to detect the ether  —  a mysterious substance through which light was thought to propagate  —  arose Einstein’s theory of special relativity, for example. That’s a lesson t...
