Major milestone reached in digital Cuneiform studies: researchers from Mainz, Marburg, and Würzburg present an innovative tool that offers many new possibilities.
Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a role in virtually every aspect of our lives, from self-driving cars to smart vacuum cleaners, to computer models that can predict the course of an epidemic. No matter how advanced these AI systems are, there always remains a certain degree of unpredictability about their behaviour. Thom Badings developed a new method to include this uncertainty in predictive algorithms, so that a safe solution can be achieved. His PhD defence takes place on 27 March at Radboud University.
Researchers at Kumamoto University have made a significant breakthrough in the field of control engineering by developing a highly accurate mathematical modeling technique for linear periodically time-varying (LPTV) systems. This pioneering research, led by Associate Professor Hiroshi Okajima of the Faculty of Advanced Science and Technology, opens new possibilities for improving technologies such as autonomous driving, robotics, and satellite navigation.
Research team developed CLAP, an RL agent for automated penetration testing. It features a coverage mechanism and Chebyshev decomposition critic, reducing attack operations by 35% and enabling efficient testing on networks with up to 500 hosts.
