MIT Computer Deciphers Ugaritic, an Ancient Semitic Language
The big brains at MIT aren't just interested in solar cells, robot desk lamps and gesture interfaces; they're also applying their evolved understanding of tech to decipher ancient languages. The team of Regina Barzilay, an associate professor in MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab, have created a computer program that successfully deciphered a chunk of Ugaritic, a dead Semitic ...
Augmented reality interfaces are currently one of the hottest trends in tech, but they may be on their way to pasture, for the moment. Gesture interfaces are slowly but surely supplanting AR in tech headlines, because all the nerds want to be like Tom Cruise in 'Minority Report.' Hey, we can't argue with that. But the additional layer of interactivity that AR provides looks kind of facile compared ...
