Startup using AI, data, facial recognition tech to help find missing children in India
An India-based startup is helping law enforcement locate missing children using artificial intelligence (AI), data and facial recognition technology.
Researchers suggest that facial recognition tech works with half of the face
Using artificial intelligence (AI), the team demonstrated that it was possible to accurately identify people when only half or three-quarters of their faces were visible, achieving 100% recognition rates. The study is reportedly the first of its kind to apply machine learning to gauge recognition rates for just parts of a face.

The method can identify with a great degree of accuracy whether a 5-day-old, in vitro fertilized human embryo has a high potential to progress to a successful pregnancy.
Chemical toxicity testing without animal models
Evaluation of chemical toxicity has traditionally relied on the use of laboratory animal models or in vitro bioassays, protocols that may soon be eliminated in favor of a low-cost, high-speed algorithm.
Navy invents AI to thwart enemy boat swarms
Though Navy cruisers, littoral combat ships and destroyers are powerful, they are less agile and not designed to fight several boats at once.
