Quantum network between two national labs achieves record synch
…truck can cross into the bike lane. So, we performed a large number of experiments to make sure the truck stayed in its lane.” Ultimately, the two were properly assigned…
MicroBooNE demonstrates use of convolutional neural networks on liquid-argon TPC data for first time
…addition, a number of qualitative studies looked at the correlation between manipulations of the image and the label provided by the network. They showed that the correlations follow human-like intuitions….
