Wisconsin 'ghost ship' uncovered after 139 years
Science Archaeology Wisconsin'ghost ship' uncovered after 139 years It took citizen scientists only two hours to find the F.J. King's final resting place. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. A group of Wisconsin maritime historians and citizen scientists uncovered a Lake Michigan shipwreck "hidden in plain sight" for nearly 140 years. The team uncovered the waterlogged wreckage of the three-masted wooden schooner in the waters off Bailey's Harbor, Wisconsin. On September 15, 1886, the 144-foot left Escanaba, Michigan, bound for Chicago with 600 tons of iron ore onboard.

'Ghost Ship of the Pacific' rediscovered with underwater drones
An autonomous drone fleet overseen by Ocean Infinity has rediscovered the USS Stewart, the only US Navy destroyer ever captured by Japanese forces during World War II. The marine robotics company's trio of orange, 20-foot-long underwater robots found the historic vessel while mapping what is now the 1,286-square-mile Cordell Bank national marine sanctuary off the California coast. Also known as the "Ghost Ship of the Pacific," the 314-foot-long ship has spent the past 78 years resting roughly 3,500 feet below the ocean's surface, and appears to remain almost completely intact and upright. "This level of preservation is exceptional for a vessel of its age and makes it potentially one of the best-preserved examples of a US Navy'four-piper' destroyer known to exist," Maria Brown, superintendent for both Cordell Bank and Greater Farallones national marine sanctuaries, said in a statement to The New York Times on October 1. The USS Stewart's story is unique in US maritime history, making it one of the most sought-after wrecks for decades.

OASum: Large-Scale Open Domain Aspect-based Summarization
Yang, Xianjun, Song, Kaiqiang, Cho, Sangwoo, Wang, Xiaoyang, Pan, Xiaoman, Petzold, Linda, Yu, Dong
Aspect or query-based summarization has recently caught more attention, as it can generate differentiated summaries based on users' interests. However, the current dataset for aspect or query-based summarization either focuses on specific domains, contains relatively small-scale instances, or includes only a few aspect types. Such limitations hinder further explorations in this direction. In this work, we take advantage of crowd-sourcing knowledge on Wikipedia.org and automatically create a high-quality, large-scale open-domain aspect-based summarization dataset named OASum, which contains more than 3.7 million instances with around 1 million different aspects on 2 million Wikipedia pages. We provide benchmark results on OASum and demonstrate its ability for diverse aspect-based summarization generation. To overcome the data scarcity problem on specific domains, we also perform zero-shot, few-shot, and fine-tuning on seven downstream datasets. Specifically, zero/few-shot and fine-tuning results show that the model pre-trained on our corpus demonstrates a strong aspect or query-focused generation ability compared with the backbone model. Our dataset and pre-trained checkpoints are publicly available.

Nearly one in three US Navy warships will be AI-powered 'ghost ships' by 2045
The US Navy plans to deploy 150 artificial intelligence-powered'ghost ships' across the seven seas by 2045, which means one in three of its warships will be an uncrewed robotic warship. These AI-powered ships will be smaller and cheaper to operate because they do not require life-support systems and can be piloted remotely, and the technology could be the answer to the military's recruitment nightmare – the Navy is at 89 percent of its goal for the fiscal year ending in September. The expansion was announced in the'Chief of Naval Operations Navigation Plan 2022' report that states the military branch is expanding its fleet to ensure it controls most of the seas and compete with the opposition, specifically China. The development also includes more than 350 manned ships and approximately 3,000 aircraft, which is a dramatic increase from the just 75 new ships added to the regime over the past two decades. The Navy currently operates 300 warships.

Ghost Ship in the Harbour of the Dark by Wild Snark
The Dark is the Wasteland's underworld; the deepest underworld of all. Wild Snark and Scorpion Designs are brand names of Martin Wall. He is a mathematical physicists and digital artists that lives in the united kingdom. His artwork tends towards conceptual art. He specialises in AI art;AI stands for artificial intelligence and involves both machine learning and deep learning.
This Robot Ship Aims to Cross the Atlantic Ocean… Without Humans
The voyage is expected to take about 35 days and could prove that ships never really needed humans in the first place. They call Maxlimer a robot ship. But a more apt name could also be a ghost ship. Because if you came across it during one of its seafaring journeys, no humans would be onboard. SEE ALSO: Is This New Submarine the World's Best Aquatic War Machine?

Tracking sanctions-busting 'ghost ships' on the high seas
For a long time, being out at sea meant being out of sight and out of reach. And all kinds of shenanigans went on as a result - countries secretly selling oil and other goods to countries they're not supposed to under international sanctions rules, for example, not to mention piracy and kidnapping. The problem is that captains can easily switch off the current way of tracking ships, called the Automatic Identification System (AIS), turning their vessels into "ghost ships". But now thousands of surveillance satellites have been launched into space, and artificial intelligence (AI) is being applied to the images they take. There's no longer anywhere to hide - even for ghost ships.
