The graduation of a Charles Darwin University (CDU) postgraduate student was made that much more special recently, with her husband quite literally setting the stage for the ceremony.
Artificial Intelligence can forecast gas-related incidents in coal mines within half an hour, according to a new study exploring how the technology can reduce the risk of disasters.
The study of coal mines in China compared 10 machine learning algorithms to see which AI method could make predictions about changes in methane gas levels 30 minutes in advance, and notify users of anomalies.
Gas explosions or ignitions in underground mines pose significant risks, with almost 60 per cent of coal mine accidents in China caused by methane gas.
