Going beyond IQ

April 3, 2026 by Rumjhum Bandyopadhyay, Seema R. Singh

Abstract: Human intelligence is no longer a single concept confined to IQ. The concept of human intelligence has evolved in the last few decades, leading to the exploration of various kinds of human potentials that are effective in dealing with the emerging challenges of the 21st century. The three potentials—namely, emotional intelligence (EI), spiritual intelligence (SI), … [Read more...] about Going beyond IQ

The video game age: A brief history

March 1, 2022 by Jeremy K. Saucier

Today, video games are virtually everywhere. Each day, millions of people play games on smartphones that fit in the palms of their hands as well as on home consoles and computers that connect them with friends and strangers around the world. However, six decades ago, few people could have imagined a US$150 billion (and growing) global video game industry that would marry … [Read more...] about The video game age: A brief history

Privacy-preserving distributed learning: Techniques, applications, and future challenges

The rapid increase in data generated by connected devices has created a pressing need for privacy-preserving techniques in distributed learning. This article examines methods that enable collaborative machine learning (ML) while maintaining data security and user privacy. Key approaches such as federated learning (FL), differential privacy (DP), secure multiparty computation (SMPC), and homomorphic encryption (HE) are analyzed for their unique capabilities and various applications. FL facilitates model training across decentralized data sources, ensuring data remain local, while DP mitigates privacy risks by adding controlled noise. SMPC and HE support secure computations on encrypted data, maintaining confidentiality during processing. Despite their effectiveness, these techniques face challenges related to computational complexity, scalability, and regulatory compliance. The article reviews current advancements, practical implementations, and future directions, emphasizing the need for optimized, accessible solutions to enhance data security in distributed systems.
