New tech to replicate ancient sculptures
The Oxford-based Institute for Digital Archaeology has created a high-precision replica of a horse’s head from the Parthenon Marbles and is working on another of the Centauromachy metope, in a bid to convince the British Museum to return the originals to Greece. The horse’s head has been chiseled by robot from Italian marble to serve as a model for another of Pentelic marble that will be seemingly identical to the original. The two replicas are expected to be finished by the end of the month and put on show in London.https://www.ekathimerini.com/multimedia/images/1188642/new-tech-to-bring-back-ancient-sculptures/

Future Crime Prediction Engine
Social scientists from the University of Chicago have formulated an algorithm that claims 90% accuracy in forecasting crime - detecting patterns of time to predict future events. This isn't the first algorithm to look at this problem, but previous models identified emerging 'hotspots' which was subject to bias. The new model claims to be able to ask questions like 'what happens to the crime rate if property crimes increase?'... which could be a better measure. research paper > https://www.researchgate.net/publication/361651657_Event-level_prediction_of_urban_crime_reveals_a_signature_of_enforcement_bias_in_US_citiesimage credit: researchers
