Scientist develops an open-source algorithm for selecting a dictionary of a neurointerface
Associate Professor of the Department of Information Technologies and Computer Sciences at MISIS University, Ph.D., mathematician and doctor Alexandra Bernadotte has developed algorithms that significantly increase the accuracy of recognition of mental commands by robotic devices. The result is achieved by optimizing the selection of a dictionary. Algorithms implemented in robotic devices can be used to transmit information through noisy communication channels. The results have been published in the peer-reviewed international scientific journal Mathematics. The task of improving the object (audio, video or electromagnetic signals) classification accuracy, when compiling so-called "dictionaries" of devices is faced by developers of different systems aimed to improve the quality of human life.
Disturbing app can create nude images of ANY woman
A disturbing app has been developed which uses artificial intelligence and algorithms to produce fake nude images of women. The app, called DeepNude, removes all clothing from any uploaded image of a woman - sparking fears it could be used to blackmail unsuspecting victims with fake revenge porn threats. Since the app came to light, it has been taken offline, claiming it'cannot cope' with the volume of interest. The anonymous developers said they would be back within days and just needed'to fix some bugs and catch our breath'. In the free version of the app, the output images are partially covered with a large watermark.

Creator KILLS disturbing app that doctored nude images women from a single picture after backlash
After widespread backlash, a disturbing app that uses artificial intelligence to produce fake nude images of women is being taken offline. According to the anonymous creator of the app who goes by'Alberto,' the takedown stems from the app's potential to be abused. 'Despite the safety measures adopted (watermarks) if 500,000 people use it, the probability that people will misuse it is too high,' reads the tweet. Shortly after news of a'deepfaking' app capable of doctoring photos of nude women spread across the media, creators have taken the service offline It is a downloadable offline app which works on Windows and Linux. It is believed the software is based on pix2pix, an open-source algorithm developed by University of California, Berkeley researchers in 2017.
