The Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), F1’s governing body, says it will employ Computer Vision tech at the season-closing Abu Dhabi Grand Prix this weekend. Drivers know the exact lines to take at corners for optimal lap times, but sometimes racers go out of bounds as they try to gain an advantage, and officials need to check cars stay within track limits. Four people had to review around 1,200 potential violations in July's Austrian Grand Prix, and some track limit violations went unpunished in October’s…

The margin of success in often comes down to tiny measurements of time and distance. Drivers know the exact lines to take at corners for optimal lap times. Sometimes, though, racers will go out of bounds as they try to gain an advantage. To help officials check whether a car's wheels entirely cross the white boundary line, F1 will test an AI system.The Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), the motorsport's governing body, it will employ Computer Vision tech at the season-closing Abu Dhabi Grand Prix this…

Using 700 years' worth of wave data from more than a billion waves, scientists at the University of Copenhagen and University of Victoria have used artificial intelligence to find a formula for how to predict the occurrence of these maritime monsters. The new knowledge can make…

Would you like to be a millionaire? There are several ways to fulfill this dream. For two decades the U.S. edition of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? promised a million dollars if you could answer 15 challenging questions correctly. Today you could win that prize by answering just one question: How are prime numbers distributed on the number line? In doing so, you would solve the so-called Riemann hypothesis, one of seven “Millennium Problems,” the solutions of which are rewarded with $1 million each.In fact, the Riemann…

It is critical to assess the practical importance or real-world impact of the findings in addition to the statistical significance of the findings when doing research or analyzing experimental data. The idea of effect magnitude is then relevant in this situation. Researchers can quantify and discuss the application of their findings by using the standardized measure of effect size to describe the size of the observed effect.Estimating and understanding effect sizes rely heavily on effect size formulae. These equations are…

Porsche will stay in Formula E for at least two more years than its original five-year commitment, extending through the 2025-2026 season.
