Ken Ono, a top mathematician and advisor at the University of Virginia, has helped uncover a striking new way to find prime numbers—those puzzling building blocks of arithmetic that have kept ...

The idea of an animal that can count or do math might sound like something out of a viral news story or TikTok video. But a ...

Numbers are a fundamental part of our everyday lives, shaping the way we measure, trade, and keep track of time. While most ...

Humans aren’t the only animals with numerical awareness, although we are alone in our ability to perform symbolic manipulations of numbers. Taking a deep-dive into the evolutionary roots of our ...

Using a notion called integer partitions, mathematicians have discovered a new way to detect prime numbers while also ...

Object counting aims to count the accurate number of object instances in images, and its operation efficiency is essential. However, most current CNN-based methods rely on complex network ...

First, consider a handful of the smallest primes—like 2, 3, 5, and 7. Then list all the numbers that aren’t divisible by those primes. These numbers are the rough primes.

Optimizing Object Count in Text-to-Image Models The method outlined a strategy to steer text-to-image models by adjusting embeddings of a newly introduced "counting token." The process involved ...

Crows can vocally count up to four. The intelligent birds recognize and react to numbers in a process similar to that of human cognition, according to a new study.

If you’ve found yourself counting numbers, items, or even your own behaviors ― and you’re not able to stop ― it may be a symptom of an underlying condition like OCD.
