Learning to forget – a weapon in the arsenal against harmful AI

Thu, 02 Nov 2023 09:53:00 GMT

With the AI summit well underway, researchers are keen to raise the very real problem associated with the technology – teaching it how to forget.

New deep learning algorithm can pick up genetic mutations and DNA mismatch repair deficiency in colorectal cancers more efficiently

Wed, 20 Oct 2021 11:09:58 GMT

A new deep learning algorithm created by researchers from the University of Warwick can pick up the molecular pathways and development of key mutations causing colorectal cancer more accurately than existing methods, meaning patients could benefit from targeted therapies with quicker turnaround times and at a lower cost.

Aquatic robots can remove contaminant particles from water

Mon, 10 Aug 2020 10:36:30 GMT

Scientists from WMG at the University of Warwick, led by Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands, developed a 1cm by 1cm wireless artificial aquatic polyp, which can remove contaminants from water. Apart from cleaning, this soft robot could be also used in medical diagnostic devices by aiding in picking up and transporting specific cells for analysis.

Do passengers prefer autonomous vehicles driven like machines or like humans?– research finds that “peeking round” corners provides answers

Wed, 03 Jul 2019 13:35:18 GMT

Passenger and pedestrian confidence and acceptance will be key to the future and development of autonomous vehicles so researchers at WMG at the University of Warwick have just conducted and reported an experiment to see which autonomous vehicles driving style engendered the highest levels of confidence among autonomous vehicles passengers – driving with full machine efficiency, or driving in a way that emulates average human driving. The surprising result was that neither was optimal but that a blend of both might be best.

Computer program developed to find ‘leakage’ in quantum computers

Tue, 19 Mar 2019 14:06:00 GMT

A new computer program that spots when information in a quantum computer is escaping to unwanted states will give users of this promising technology the ability to check its reliability without any technical knowledge for the first time.

Schizophrenia can be caused by structural abnormality in adolescent brain associated with genetic risk

Wed, 16 Jan 2019 16:01:10 GMT

Schizophrenia could be caused by a genetic mutation that causes a structural abnormality in the brain during adolescence. Therefore testing for the gene SLC39A8, and brain scans for schizophrenia could predict whether or not someone will develop it - researchers at the University of Warwick have found.

WMG to test new location system for intelligent vehicles

Tue, 01 May 2018 13:38:04 GMT

Intelligent vehicles and smart devices could gain more accurate location awareness by ‘fusing’ Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and WiFi signals – and a test for this is the focus of an Innovate UK project led by Spirent Communications and involving WMG at the University of Warwick.

£850,000 fund powers launch of Feuer International Scholarships in AI at University of Warwick

Mon, 16 Apr 2018 10:51:05 GMT

A half million pound donation by Warwick graduate, philanthropist and AI technology based entrepreneur Jonathan Feuer, matched with additional funding by the University of Warwick is powering the launch of the new the Feuer International Scholarships in AI for MPHil or PhD research students in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Warwick.

WMG establishes new Centre for Applied Artificial Intelligence

Tue, 27 Mar 2018 13:46:02 GMT

WMG, at the University of Warwick, is investing in data driven innovations with a new Centre for Applied Artificial Intelligence. The Centre will enable industry and business to leverage large volumes of digital information to gain competitive insights through Artificial Intelligence methods.
