Lincolnshire police plan to test facial recognition and behavioral tech that infers people's moods and expressions by analyzing CCTV footage.
Inbuilt biases and the problem of algorithms | Letters
Letters: The formula used to determine A-level results did not adhere to ethical principles, write a group of academics, while Dr John Elsom says the fiasco illustrates the government’s misuse of algorithms. Plus letters from Paul Clarke and Calix Ed
Applying machine learning to biomedical science
With potential application diagnosing cancer or predicting how viruses, such as HIV, attack human cells, machine learning is opening promising new areas of application for bioinformatics—the data science of molecular biology. Dr. Pengyi Yang from the Charles Perkins Centre and School of Mathematics and Statistics with colleagues has summarized the latest developments in this emerging field in a review article in Nature Machine Intelligence.

Could this material be the next step into a world of cyborgs
AI player creates strikingly realistic virtual tennis matches based on real players
A team of researchers at Stanford University has created an artificial intelligence-based player called the Vid2Player that is capable of generating startlingly realistic tennis matches—featuring real professional players. They have written a paper describing their work and have uploaded it to the arXiv preprint server.
Smooth teleoperator: The rise of the remote controller
Autonomous vehicles, such as cars, forklifts, and delivery robots, may never be able to operate 100% independently. That is where teleoperation could help.
Bringing computational music analysis beyond the traditional canon
Scientists in EPFL's Digital and Cognitive Musicology Lab (DCML), led by Martin Rohrmeier, have used data science and statistical techniques to characterize the musical style of choro, a primarily instrumental genre from Brazil, for the very first time.
The role of autonomous ships in a world wary of pandemics
Ships play a huge part in the global economy, and we could soon see a bigger push toward automation in the maritime realm.
The meatpacking industry is an incubator for AI, automation, and COVID-19
As the pandemic stretches on, the threat to meatpacking, meat processing, and distribution center employees has researchers seeking a new production model.
