Driving rain on Monday disrupted rescue efforts in Japan and compounded the misery of disaster survivors now fearing radioactive fallout.
A "neural network" has been developed for robots that lets them learn how to perform a new task by "thinking" things through -- or googling it.
At least 15 people were killed and 20 others were missing on Wednesday as Japan's biggest typhoon for more than a decade pounded the south of the country with heavy rain and powerful winds, officials said. Typhoon Tokage, which also injured at least 31 people, became the record 10th typhoon to land on the Japanese islands in a year.
A series of powerful tremors on Monday rattled a central Japanese region still reeling from last month's earthquake, slightly injuring 13 people just as the last schools shut by the tragedy reopened. Nineteen tremors, with the strongest measuring 5,9 on the Richter scale and felt in Tokyo, struck in Niigata prefecture.
