How Hourglass Vision Transformers Are Redefining Camouflaged Object Detection

computer.org Enrique Quezada 2026-03-12 18:58:20

Introduction While camouflage gives wildlife and military vehicles a strategic survival advantage, it poses challenges, both for human and computer vision systems. It is difficult enough to detect objects designed to blend with their environments, but when the objects have blurry edges, the detection process is even more problematic. However, in a paper written for the 2025 IEEE/CVF Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision (WACV), Jinpeng He, Biyuan Liu, and Huaixin Chen of the Uni

The Fed's interest rate decisions impact mortgages, but the relationship isn't straightforward. Tharon Green/CNET There's a wild amount of uncertainty in today's economy, but one thing is clear: The Federal Reserve isn't planning to lower interest rates this summer.

June Mortgage Forecast: Will Economic Chaos Fuel Even Higher Rates?

As the Federal Reserve likely holds interest rates steady, mortgage rates are expected to stay in a narrow range. Tharon Green/CNET The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady for the fourth consecutive time this year at its monetary policy meeting this week. However, rising jobless claims, intensified geopolitical conflict and slowing economic growth could force the central bank to cut rates as early as the fall.

A Teenager’s Frustration, a Researcher’s Revelation (Note: this is a deeply nerdy / technical post, with most applicability to folks building AI systems, and of little relevance to most users of AI.) In the late 90s, as a tech-obsessed teenager, I picked up Marvin Minsky’s 1986 book The Society of Mind expecting profound answers about intelligence. It was exciting: Minsky made AI seem so tractable, with beautiful essays arguing that the mind is composed of countless simple “agents” – little pr

Spanish blackout report: Power plants meant to stabilize voltage didn’t

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-03-13 19:15:24

The blackout that took down the Iberian grid serving Spain and Portugal in April was the result of a number of smaller interacting problems, according to an investigation by the Spanish government. The report concludes that several steps meant to address a small instability made matters worse, eventually leading to a self-reinforcing cascade where high voltages caused power plants to drop off the grid, thereby increasing the voltage further. Critically, the report suggests that the Spanish grid

According to tech billionaire and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, 2025 was supposed to be the year "when AI agents will work."
