“Non-elementary bitumen”: will the participants of the IT competition be able to come up with a solution that will help influence the construction of high-quality roads? 5.5
“Gazpromneft – Bitumen Materials” together with ITMO University with the support of the Digital Downstream Accelerator from Gazprom Neft will hold an IT competition for programmers. The purpose of the hackathon is to develop a mathematical model for predicting the quality of a component (namely a high—tech binder) for the construction of Russian roads.
Gazpromneft — Bituminous Materials, being the technological leader of the industry, cannot but focus on the expansion of IT technologies for automation and digitalization of operational processes. In addition, it is important for such enterprises to continuously improve the quality of products — hence the idea of [...]
The android was taught a sense of humor 5.5

Now Erica can not only recognize a person’s laughter, but also determine whether she should laugh in response and what type of laughter to use for this.
Scientists from Kyoto University (Japan) have developed an artificial intelligence system that allowed the Japanese android robot Erica to respond appropriately to the laughter of the interlocutor. At the same time, scientists did not seek to make Erica detect laughter or respond to a joke, but tried to endow artificial [...]
