By Daniel Tkacik People serving time in prison or jail in the United States, which has the highest incarceration rate in the world, are almost constantly being monitored. The surveillance even stretches into communications between inmates and their relatives. “You gotta be careful what you say,” said a relative of an incarcerated person, who was interviewed in a new study authored by Carnegie Mellon University CyLab researchers. The study, which explores people’s understandings, attitudes, and reactions to prison surveillance, received an Honorable Mention award at this week’s Asso...

Augmented reality has slowly become a part of our lives without many realising it. Experts say it is now ready to reach its full potential.

Young girl learning to write © 2021 EPFL New EPFL research on whether handwriting skills transfer when a child writes in two different alphabetic scripts may pave the way for cross-lingual digital tools for the detection of handwriting difficulties. Despite the increasing digitization of education and the use of use of tablets and laptops in schools, handwriting has maintained its central position in learning as the basis of many core educational activities such as taking notes, composing stories and self-expression. It is also a complex, involving attention, perceptual, linguistic, and fine...

Save this story for later. In computer science, the main outlets for peer-reviewed research are not journals but conferences, where accepted papers are presented in the form of talks or posters. In June, 2019, at a large artificial-intelligence conference in Long Beach, California, called Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, I stopped to look at a poster for a project called Speech2Face. Using machine learning, researchers had developed an algorithm that generated images of faces from recordings of speech. A neat idea, I thought, but one with unimpressive results: at best, the faces match...

Changed on 09/12/2020 Twenty years ago, data visualization was risky research. Today, it affects many areas of society. A meteoric growth in which Jean-Daniel Fekete, Inria research director specializing in human-computer interactions and head of the joint Aviz team between Inria, INS2I of the CNRS and the University of Paris-Saclay, has played a major role. He looks back on the development of this interdisciplinary research field in which France is one of the world leaders. First historical steps in visualization To put in image the invisible, it is possible thanks to visualiz...
