One of the most widely adopted of the seven patterns of AI is the Patterns and Anomalies pattern. Machine learning is particularly good at digesting large amounts of data very quickly and identifying ...

Yesterday's post was a ringer. What you were actually looking at was a random distribution of earthquakes that I generated using the R statistical package. The earthquakes themselves are real (at ...

Pattern analysis makes for better image processing. Images on the right were compressed with the conventional JPEG format. Images on the left were reconstructed with a new technique that analyses ...

What can’t satellites do? They keep an eye on animals, track humanitarian crises, even help predict famines—and their above-ground perspective lets ground-bound observers find unexpected beauty in ...

“Lots of things have patterns, patterns can be neat. Patterns have an order, an order that repeats.” Patterns are all around us. A pattern is when objects, events, or steps repeat in a predictable way ...

There are some imperfections, but for the most part these bubbles intersect at three-way junctions with angles close to 120 degrees. This “preference” is dictated by the interplay between the material ...
