Most artificially intelligent systems are based on neural networks, algorithms inspired by biological neurons found in the brain. These networks can consist of multiple layers, with inputs coming in one side and outputs going out of the other. The outputs can be used to make automatic decisions, for example, in driverless cars. Attacks to mislead a neural network can involve exploiting vulnerabilities in the input layers, but typically only the initial input layer is considered when engineering a defense. For the first time, researchers augmented a neural network's inner layers with a process involving random noise to improve its resilience. from Latest Science News -- ScienceDaily https://ift.tt/zkj8d76

Nearly one in three people exposed to SARS-CoV2 is infected, and as many as two in five with the Omicron variant. In the case of immunity -- conferred by vaccination, infection or a combination of the two -- this rate drops to one in ten. However, immunity disappears within a few months, confirms a team of researchers, after revisiting epidemiological data collected in Geneva. While protection following infection appears to be slightly greater than after vaccination -- albeit at the risk of potentially severe symptoms -- vaccination reduces the contagiousness of patients over a longer period. As the number of cases rises again, air filtration, ventilation and the wearing of masks in the vicinity of vulnerable people appear to be necessary measures. from Latest Science News -- ScienceDaily https://ift.tt/fjh8JZ3
