 Algorithm Can 'Fill in the 
 Blanks' of Ancient Texts 

Algorithm could also be basis of search engine for old docs

Sep 2, 09 1:56 PM CDT
(Newser) - A new computer algorithm could soon take some of the guesswork out of deciphering ancient texts, Reuters reports. The program, developed in Israel and currently used with ancient Hebrew, works with digital copies of unreadable texts and uses pattern recognition to “fill in the blanks,” says one of... More »

Tamarins possess
skills fundamental
to human language: researchers

Jul 9, 09 3:54 AM CDT
(Newser) - Monkeys can recognize “incorrect” syllable pattern in words, revealing that species other than human possess the underlying skills necessary for anguage, the BBC reports. Researchers played recordings of made-up words that shared either a common prefix or suffix for two groups of cotton-top tamarin monkey. Tamarins familiarized with either... More »

Academics ponder similarities between cities and organisms

May 20, 09 5:53 AM CDT
(Newser) - A fascinating mathematical similarity between infrastructure requirements of cities and the nutritional needs of different-sized animals has energized a field of study that is enthralling academics. Researchers have discovered that any measure of a city's infrastructure—from number of gas stations to miles of roadway—grows only in proportion to... More »

Quantum Computing Works in Experiment

Atomic-level computer could change world

Mar 4, 08 11:44 AM CST
(Newser) - In theory, a quantum supercomputer would be insanely powerful. By manipulating atoms, quantum bits—qubits, for short—would never be definite 1s or 0s. Instead, they would be both at once, in theory allowing a device using them to solve nigh-impossible problems. That theory is getting closer to reality, Ars... More »
