Machine Learning Unearths Signature Of Slow-slip Quake Origins In Seismic Data
Combing through historical seismic data, researchers using a machine learning model have unearthed distinct statistical features marking the formative stage of slow-slip ruptures in the earth’s crust months before tremor or GPS data detected a slip in the tectonic plates. Given the similarity between slow-slip events and classic earthquakes, these distinct signatures may help geophysicists …
FastMRI Breakthrough Shows AI-accelerated MRIs Interchangeable With Traditional MRIs
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners, the machines that doctors use to image the body’s soft tissue and organs, have been crucial tools for medical diagnoses for almost half a century. But one of their major shortcomings is the time it takes to carry out a scan. Clinicians can spend up to an hour gathering sufficient data for a …
Data Systems That Learn To Be Better
Big data has gotten really, really big: By 2025, all the world’s data will add up to an estimated 175 trillion gigabytes. For a visual, if you stored that amount of data on DVDs, it would stack up tall enough to circle the Earth 222 times. One of the biggest challenges in computing is handling this …
Anomaly Detection Using Streaming Analytics & AI
