"KI first" braucht Verlierer
(2023)
Aktuell vergeht kaum eine Woche, in der nicht ein Unternehmen den Kampf um die Vorherrschaft im Bereich der Künstlichen Intelligenz (KI) aufnimmt. Tech-Konzerne versprechen sich auch von KI-gesteuerten Bildgeneratoren satte Gewinne. Diese ahmen mit synthetischen Mischbildern stilprägende Künstler/innen nach. Dabei wird auf die Rechtslage verwiesen, die eine zustimmungs- und vergütungsfreie Vervielfältigung ihrer Kunstwerke für Trainingszwecke angeblich zulässt. Doch Widerstand von Künstlern/innen hiergegen ist gesellschaftlich dringend geboten und wäre im Übrigen auch rechtlich gedeckt.
Large-scale quantum computers threaten the security of today's public-key cryptography. The McEliece cryptosystem is one of the most promising candidates for post-quantum cryptography. However, the McEliece system has the drawback of large key sizes for the public key. Similar to other public-key cryptosystems, the McEliece system has a comparably high computational complexity. Embedded devices often lack the required computational resources to compute those systems with sufficiently low latency. Hence, those systems require hardware acceleration. Lately, a generalized concatenated code construction was proposed together with a restrictive channel model, which allows for much smaller public keys for comparable security levels. In this work, we propose a hardware decoder suitable for a McEliece system based on these generalized concatenated codes. The results show that those systems are suitable for resource-constrained embedded devices.
Background
This is a systematic review protocol to identify automated features, applied technologies, and algorithms in the electronic early warning/track and triage system (EW/TTS) developed to predict clinical deterioration (CD).
Methodology
This study will be conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases to evaluate the features of EW/TTS in terms of their automated features, technologies, and algorithms. To this end, we will include any English articles reporting an EW/TTS without time limitation. Retrieved records will be independently screened by two authors and relevant data will be extracted from studies and abstracted for further analysis. The included articles will be evaluated independently using the JBI critical appraisal checklist by two researchers.
Discussion
This study is an effort to address the available automated features in the electronic version of the EW/TTS to shed light on the applied technologies, automated level of systems, and utilized algorithms in order to smooth the road toward the fully automated EW/TTS as one of the potential solutions of prevention CD and its adverse consequences.
This study investigates the application of Force Sensing Resistor (FSR) sensors and machine learning algorithms for non-invasive body position monitoring during sleep. Although reliable, traditional methods like Polysomnography (PSG) are invasive and unsuited for extended home-based monitoring. Our approach utilizes FSR sensors placed beneath the mattress to detect body positions effectively. We employed machine learning techniques, specifically Random Forest (RF), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and XGBoost algorithms, to analyze the sensor data. The models were trained and tested using data from a controlled study with 15 subjects assuming various sleep positions. The performance of these models was evaluated based on accuracy and confusion matrices. The results indicate XGBoost as the most effective model for this application, followed by RF and KNN, offering promising avenues for home-based sleep monitoring systems.
Service in der Investitionsgüterindustrie wird heutzutage in der Regel immer noch manuell und vor Ort beim Kunden ausgeführt. Dazu braucht es qualifizierte Service-Techniker:innen, die über das nötige Produkt- Prozesswissen verfügen. Für kleine und mittelständische Unternehmen (KMU) der Investitionsgüterindustrie stellt insbesondere die Internationalisierung eine Herausforderung dar, da qualifizierte Service-Techniker:innen eine rare Ressource sind. Es gilt sie möglichst effektiv und effizient einzusetzen. Zu diesem Zweck wurde im Rahmen des SerWiss-Projektes eine Lösung entwickelt, die es KMU ermöglicht, service-rele-
vantes Wissen effizient zu generieren, zu strukturieren und am Point-of-Service bereitzustellen sowie im Rahmen geeigneter Geschäftsmodelle zu vermarkten. Im Beitrawird erläutert, wie sich dieses erfasste Wissen als kundenorientiertes Wertangebot einsetzen und erlöswirksam in entsprechenden Geschäftsmodellen umsetzen lässt.
This study aims to investigate the utilization of Bayesian techniques for the calibration of micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) accelerometers. These devices have garnered substantial interest in various practical applications and typically require calibration through error-correcting functions. The parameters of these error-correcting functions are determined during a calibration process. However, due to various sources of noise, these parameters cannot be determined with precision, making it desirable to incorporate uncertainty in the calibration models. Bayesian modeling offers a natural and complete way of reflecting uncertainty by treating the model parameters as variables rather than fixed values. In addition, Bayesian modeling enables the incorporation of prior knowledge, making it an ideal choice for calibration. Nevertheless, it is infrequently used in sensor calibration. This study introduces Bayesian methods for the calibration of MEMS accelerometer data in a straightforward manner using recent advances in probabilistic programming.
The aim of this paper is to find out in how accommodation providers in the Seychelles perceive climate change and what mitigation and adaptation measures they can provide. In order to answer these questions, a qualitative mixed-method-approach, comprised of twenty semi-structured interviews, an online-survey and participant observation was used. Results show that accommodation providers especially perceive the effects of climate change that directly affect their business and that they have already partly implemented some mitigation and adaptation measures. However, strategies and regulations are needed at the Seychelles’ government level and on a global level to actually achieve CO2 neutral travel.
