The Vision framework has long included text recognition capabilities. We already have a detailed tutorial that shows you how to scan an image and perform text recognition using the Vision framework. Previously, we utilized VNImageRequestHandler and VNRecognizeTextRequest to extract text from an image.Over the years, the Vision framework has evolved significantly. In iOS 18, Vision introduces new APIs that leverage the power of Swift 6. In this tutorial, we will explore how to use these new APIs to perform text recognition. You will be amazed by the improvements in the framework, which save you a significant amount of code to implement the same feature.As…

As mobile operators prepare to retire legacy 4G networks in favour of 5G, Sony positions eRedCap as the standard for future IoT connectivity.For CIOs and network architects, the eventual sunsetting of 4G LTE presents a logistical timeline that requires immediate planning. While 2G and 4G networks remain active to support devices currently in the field, spectrum is a finite resource that operators are eager to reclaim.Sony argues that eRedCap (enhanced Reduced Capability) is the necessary link to unify this infrastructure, allowing a gradual migration without disrupting operations.The middle ground problemIndustrial IoT currently faces a capability gap. Low Power Wide Area…

Articul8, an enterprise AI company spun out of Intel in early 2024, has secured more than half of a planned $70 million funding round at a $500 million pre-money valuation, according to its CEO, as it looks to capitalize on growing demand for AI systems in regulated industries. The Series B funding round is structured in two installments, with the first led by Spain’s Adara Ventures, Articul8 founder and CEO Arun K. Subramaniyan (pictured above, center) said in an interview. He declined to disclose the size of the initial installment, but said the company expects to close the round in…

After more than 25 years of intensive research, nanofibers remain scientifically promising but industrially constrained, according to a new perspective published in Frontiers in Nanotechnology.  Image Credit: Faktors/Shutterstock.com The study examines why polymeric and inorganic nanofibers, explored in applications ranging from filtration to medicine, have yet to achieve widespread commercial adoption. Get all the details: Grab your PDF here! Across synthetic chemistry and materials science, researchers have developed an array of nanomaterials, including nanosheets, nanopowders, nanotubes, and nanofibers. While laboratory studies have demonstrated impressive properties, only a small fraction of these materials has transitioned into real products. The authors argue…

When a model is trained, each word in its vocabulary is assigned a numerical value that captures the meaning of that word in relation to all the other words, based on how the word appears in countless examples across the model’s training data. Each word gets replaced by a kind of code? Yeah. But there’s a bit more to it. The numerical value—the embedding—that represents each word is in fact a list of numbers, with each number in the list representing a different facet of meaning that the model has extracted from its training data. The length of this list…

A new flagship phone with all the hype and top-end specifications makes for an appealing device, but the price puts it out of reach for many buyers. Over the years, we’ve reviewed all of the best phones worth shouting about, from Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel handsets to Chinese giant Xiaomi and, of course, Apple’s iPhone. However, sky-high prices might tempt you to look at previous generations. The value of phones also depreciates quickly, the moment you unbox them, which is why used and refurbished flagships often look so tempting on paper. You’re still getting premium hardware, just at a much…

Whatever your take on Large Language Models (LLMs) – are they beneficial? dangerous? a short-lived fashion, like crypto? – they are here, now. And that means, it is a good thing to know (at a level one needs to decide for oneself) how they work. On this same day, I am publishing What are Large Language Models? What are they not?, intended for a more general audience. In this post, I’d like to address deep learning practitioners, walking through a torch implementation of GPT-2 (Radford et al. 2019), the second in OpenAI’s succession of ever-larger models trained on ever-more-vast text…

The root causes remain stubbornly familiar: persistent misconfigurations, compromised credentials, and the unchecked growth of shadow IT. These failures are not from a lack of technology. They stem from over-reliance on tools at the expense of building internal expertise. Automated scanners and dashboards identify risks, but without knowledgeable staff, the warnings go unheeded or misunderstood. This pattern is happening everywhere as companies race into multicloud adoption without corresponding investment in people. In the past five years, the supply of cloud security talent has sharply declined. The rush to the cloud created a talent bottleneck that hasn’t fully resolved. Instead of…
