Machine learning could save firefighters from deadly flashovers

Physics World

Called P-Flash, the system was developed by Thomas Cleary and colleagues at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the US and Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Trained using data from thousands of simulated fires, the model can predict some flashovers in housefires up to 30 s before they occur. Virtual three-bedroom house.

Buolamwini uncovered that three commercially available facial-recognition technologies made by Microsoft, IBM and Megvii misidentified darker female faces nearly 35% of the time, while they worked almost perfectly (99%) on white men ( Proceedings of Machine Learning Research 81 77 ). Was this a coincidence? Jessica Esquivel.
