Understanding the concept of ehealth literacy

eHealth literacy is an evolving concept. It influences the development of the content of digital interventions, how individuals interact with the information they receive, and how programmers and information scientists adapt their designs. However, the challenge is that it has no universal definition nor measuring tool. This challenge makes it difficult to compare and communicate […]

Learning causal world models at scale

In order to navigate the world, an autonomous agent must build a causal model to understand the effects of its actions. In many tasks (automated car driving, automated medicine), collecting causal data, by performing arbitrary actions for the sake of measuring their effect (interventions), can be impractical, expensive and even unethical. On the other hand, […]

Optical interconnects and intermediate measurements in atomic quantum computers.

A modular quantum computer is a system that utilizes the principles of quantum mechanics to store and process information. Although quantum computers have the potential to offer significantly greater computational power than classical computers, their development is complicated by a lack of scalabil-ity. To address this issue, small quantum processors or modules are employed, which […]
