Engineers develop novel techniques to trick object detection systems

New adversarial techniques developed by engineers can make objects 'invisible' to image detection systems that use deep-learning algorithms. These techniques can also trick systems into thinking they see another object or can change the location of objects. The technique mitigates the risk for compromise in automated image processing systems. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/04/190404143717.htm

Novel Hawaiian communities operate similarly to native ecosystems

On the Hawaiian island of Oahu, it is possible to stand in a lush tropical forest that doesn't contain a single native plant. The birds that once dispersed native seeds are almost entirely gone too, leaving a brand-new ecological community composed of introduced plants and birds. In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers demonstrate that these novel communities are organized in much the same way as native communities worldwide. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/04/190404143657.htm

Poverty leaves a mark on our genes

In this study, researchers found evidence that poverty can become embedded across wide swaths of the genome. They discovered that lower socioeconomic status is associated with levels of DNA methylation (DNAm) -- a key epigenetic mark that has the potential to shape gene expression -- at more than 2,500 sites, across more than 1,500 genes. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/04/190404135433.htm
