Title Chimpanzees inspire more accurate computer-generated animal simulations Media name/outlet United Press International Media type Web Country/Territory United States Date 7/03/18 Description March 7 (UPI) -- New research into the locomotion of the chimpanzee's walk has done more than help scientists better understand the primate's biomechanics. The great ape has also helped researchers design more accurate computer-powered animal simulations.
While studying the unique walk of chimpanzees, scientists at the University of Manchester made unique tweaks to the "machine learning" algorithms that power animal simulations.URL https://www.upi.com/Science_News/2018/03/07/Chimpanzees-inspire-more-accurate-computer-generated-animal-simulations/7961520429120/ Persons William Sellers Title Chimpanzees help researchers improve machine learning of animal simulations Media name/outlet Phys.org Media type Web Country/Territory United States Date 6/03/18 Description Researchers at The University of Manchester are using computer simulations of chimpanzees to improve not only our understanding of how the animals walk, but also the technology we use to do it.
The research, being published by the Royal Society Open Science Journal, shows how simple changes to 'machine learning' algorithms can produce better looking, more accurate computer-generated animal simulations.URL https://phys.org/news/2018-03-chimpanzees-machine-animal-simulations.html Persons William Sellers
