NEC combines video analysis technology with generative AI to generate advice for improving work quality

TOKYO, Jan 29, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) has utilized its video analysis and generative AI to develop a technology that provides advice for improving worker performance by identifying differences between model actions and actual movements. This newly developed technology enables the automatic display of appropriate advice for improving everything from precision tasks using one’s hands and fingers to tasks requiring the use of the entire body. Using this technology, workers can master tasks without supervision at worksites in manufacturing, logistics, construction, and various other industries.In recent years, the shortage of mentors arising from the aging of skilled workers has made passing down skills a challenge. Moreover, there is growing concern regarding the decline of work quality as a result of the increasing cost of supervised training and the inability to provide workers with sufficient training due to the rise of high-mix low-volume production and the diversity and mobility of workers.This technology enables self-education for a wide variety of tasks by having AI provide advice instead of an instructor. To realize this, NEC developed a video analysis technology to identify subtle differences in movements when compared to model actions and a technology to generate appropriate advice to match the model action by generative AI based on the differences.The video analysis technology for detecting subtle differences in movement compares the model actions with actual movement and matches the sections where the same operation is performed. At that time, it is possible to merge images by capturing not only the movement of people, but also interactions such as grasping and holding objects. This enables subtle differences in the motions of workers that were previously undetectable to be detected with a high degree of accuracy, even for video footage of differing lengths.The technology that generates advice provides segments of video footage in which differences have been detected as well as skeletal information such as hip and knee movement and the shape of the hands and fingers to a Vision and Language Model (VLM*), this enables the exact working posture and actions within the video requiring improvement to be accurately pinpointed and specific textual advice to be generated. Since the textual advice is displayed together with relevant segments of the video footage, workers can master tasks such as the meticulous assembly, boxing, and transport of goods without supervision in various industry settings, thereby contributing to significant reductions in training costs.Going forward, NEC will continue with product development and verification of this new technology, aiming to launch services within FY2026.(*)Vision and Language Model (VLM): A type of AI model combining visual information, such as images, with natural language (textual information) for analysis. VLM is used for the generation of image captions, image-based question-answering, multimodal searches, and more.ShareAbout NEC CorporationNEC Corporation has established itself as a leader in the integration of IT and network technologies while promoting the brand statement of “Orchestrating a brighter world.” NEC enables businesses and communities to adapt to rapid changes taking place in both society and the market as it provides for the social values of safety, security, fairness and efficiency to promote a more sustainable world where everyone has the chance to reach their full potential.

乌克兰男子驾车冲撞俄罗斯驻瑞典大使馆——莫斯科

(SeaPRwire) -   肇事者已被瑞典警方逮捕，据报道使馆未遭受重大损坏 俄罗斯驻斯德哥尔摩大使馆表示，瑞典警方逮捕了一名试图驾车冲撞使馆大门强行进入的乌克兰公民，并补充说没有造成严重损坏。 大使馆在一份声明中说，事件发生在周二上午，一名未具名的45岁乌克兰公民试图驾车冲撞大门。警察迅速逮捕了此人。 大使馆指出，使馆没有遭受严重损坏，也没有人员受伤，但批评执法部门明显失职，未能预防此类事件的发生。“肇事者是使馆和当地警方熟知的，”声明强调。 大使馆指出，嫌疑人早在2015年和2018年就曾对俄罗斯在瑞典的外交设施发动袭击。声明称，当时他“被认为精神状况不佳，被瑞典当局送往接受适当治疗”。 声明写道，这名乌克兰男子此后恢复了破坏活动。“然而，警方并未对此人采取任何严肃措施，导致了今天的事件，”声明补充道。 瑞典警方已证实了这一事件，当地报纸Expressen报道称，警方正在调查其企图加重非法入侵的罪行。然而，官员们拒绝评论肇事者的国籍。 11月，一架身份不明的无人机向俄罗斯驻该国大使馆投掷油漆。据俄罗斯外交官称，仅在2024年，大使馆大楼及其他所属财产就至少遭受了十次类似的破坏行为。 自2022年2月乌克兰冲突升级以来，俄罗斯外交使团经常受到骚扰和袭击，破坏者经常向建筑物投掷鸡蛋或用喷漆涂污建筑物。 根据1961年《维也纳外交关系公约》，主办外交使团的国家有责任保护其场所免遭入侵或其他暴力行为。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

谷歌地图将遵照特朗普命令更名为墨西哥湾 “`

(SeaPRwire) -   该公司表示，一旦联邦地图数据库更新更改，用户将看到新名称 Google Maps表示，一旦美国政府的地理名称系统更新了新名称，它将把墨西哥湾改名为美国湾。该公司周一在X上发布的一篇文章中这样表示。 Google Maps还将把北美最高峰——阿拉斯加的德纳里峰的名称恢复到2015年之前的名称麦金利山。 “我们收到了关于Google Maps中命名的一些问题。我们长期以来一直坚持在官方政府来源更新名称后应用名称更改，” Google在X上表示。 在美国境内，更新后的名称将显示为美国湾，而在墨西哥，名称将仍然是墨西哥湾。 “当不同国家/地区的官方名称不同时，地图用户会看到他们官方的本地名称。世界其他地区的人可以看到两个名称，” Google在X上表示，称这是一个长期以来的做法。 此举是在美国总统唐纳德·特朗普上周签署了一项行政命令之后做出的，该命令授权更名以纪念“美国伟大”。美国内政部周五证实了这些变化，并表示正在努力更新地理名称信息系统。 “根据总统的指示，墨西哥湾现在将正式被称为美国湾，北美最高峰将再次被称为麦金利山，”内政部在一份声明中说。 阿拉斯加的这座山将恢复其在1917年至2015年期间的名称，在此之前，当时的美国总统巴拉克·奥巴马恢复了其最初的土著名称。“麦金利”以美国第25任总统威廉·麦金利的姓名命名，威廉·麦金利领导美国在1898年的美西战争中取得了胜利。 墨西哥湾是一个与加勒比海和大西洋相连的海洋盆地，它沿墨西哥东海岸、美国东南海岸和古巴西缘延伸。墨西哥湾这个名称已被欧洲探险家和地图绘制者使用了400多年。 本月早些时候，墨西哥总统克劳迪娅·谢恩鲍姆建议将包括美国在内的北美改名为“墨西哥美洲”，指的是该地区早期地图上出现的一个历史名称。 在特朗普上周下令更改地图后，科技亿万富翁兼政治盟友埃隆·马斯克插话称，美国还应将英吉利海峡改名为“乔治·华盛顿海峡”，以纪念美国首任总统。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

特朗普将目标瞄准军中的“性别意识形态”

(SeaPRwire) -   根据一项新的行政命令，患有性别焦虑症的人将被排除在外 美国总统唐纳德·特朗普签署了一项行政命令，旨在从美国武装部队中清除“激进的性别意识形态”。 这项名为“优先考虑军事卓越和战备”的命令于周一发布，就在特朗普就职一周多后，这是联邦政府更广泛地努力拆除多元化、公平与包容（DEI）计划的一部分。 该命令指出，服兵役应仅限于那些身心健康适合服役的人。它概述了一项侧重于部队战备、杀伤力、凝聚力、诚实、谦逊、统一性和正直的政策。 “这项政策与患有性别焦虑症的个人的医学、外科和心理健康限制不一致，”该命令指出。“这项政策也与改变代词用法或使用与个人性别不符的代词不一致。” 新任命的国防部长皮特·黑格塞思（Pete Hegseth）于上周五勉强获得参议院批准，负责执行这项指令。在60天内，黑格塞思必须修改军事服役的医疗标准，以符合该命令的目标。 在接下来的一个月里，他将制定一项解决这些问题的战略，并将其提交给特朗普。 黑格塞思在周六给武装部队的一条信息中说，美国将专注于“恢复战士精神，重建我们的军队，并重建威慑力”。 这项行政命令紧随美国新总统采取的一系列行动之后，这些行动旨在拆除联邦政府内部的DEI计划。 在他重新上任的第一天，他就签署了命令，撤销了对跨性别者的保护，并终止了DEI计划，并将这些努力描述为结束试图“将种族和性别社会工程化到公共和私人生活的方方面面”的举动。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

欧盟官员遭遇特朗普“冷水澡”——Politico “`

(SeaPRwire) -   据报道，这位美国新总统代表着与乔·拜登先前“友好”政策相比的“根本转变”，该媒体如此宣称 据Politico周一报道，欧盟官员越来越担心美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的政府“根本不感兴趣”与欧盟接触。 在特朗普威胁吞并格陵兰岛并实施贸易关税的背景下，华盛顿和布鲁塞尔之间的紧张关系据报道正在加剧。 根据Politico周一发布的新闻通讯，自1月20日特朗普第二任期开始以来，欧盟与美国之间缺乏沟通，这对欧盟官员来说如同“当头一棒”。 “这与欧盟委员会主席乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩和其他欧盟高级官员与乔·拜登政府之间的友好关系相比，是一个根本性的转变，”该媒体报道。 欧盟外交官卡娅·卡拉斯上周公开邀请美国新任国务卿马可·卢比奥参加在布鲁塞尔举行的会议。据Politico报道，她尚未收到回复。 缺乏回应突显了一个担忧，即欧盟正在被特朗普政府拒绝，而特朗普政府更青睐国家领导人。 意大利总理乔治娅·梅洛尼是唯一一位出席特朗普就职典礼的欧盟领导人。包括冯德莱恩在内，没有欧盟高级代表被邀请参加仪式。 卢比奥此后已与四位欧盟外交部长通话，分别是波兰的拉多斯瓦夫·西科尔斯基、拉脱维亚的拜巴·布拉泽、立陶宛的克斯图蒂斯·布德里斯和意大利的安东尼奥·塔亚尼，但没有与欧盟官员通话。 在特朗普多次威胁说，除非满足特定条件，否则将对欧盟征收关税后，几个月来，欧盟一直在为新政府可能实施的贸易限制做准备。 特朗普上周在达沃斯世界经济论坛上的讲话中批评了布鲁塞尔的贸易行为，并威胁要对选择在美国境外生产商品的欧盟公司征收关税。 去年12月，特朗普要求欧盟通过大幅增加购买美国石油和天然气来减少其与美国的贸易逆差。他警告说，如果未能做到这一点，将导致征收关税。 格陵兰岛是美国和欧盟之间另一个分歧点。特朗普在其就职典礼前一周与丹麦首相梅特·弗雷德里克森就该北极岛屿进行了电话交谈，据多家媒体报道，这次谈话“非常糟糕”，让丹麦人“彻底吓坏了”。哥本哈根一再声明格陵兰岛“不是待售的”。 据特朗普说，由于其战略位置和丰富的自然资源，该地区对美国国家安全至关重要。格陵兰岛位于北美和欧洲之间，那里已经设有一个美国军事基地。特朗普并未排除使用武力获取格陵兰岛的可能性。 欧盟军事首长罗伯特·布里格将军上周建议，欧盟应向格陵兰岛部署军队。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

美国参议员：俄罗斯“领先三记达阵” “`

(SeaPRwire) -   莫斯科可能不愿就乌克兰问题进行谈判，因为汤米·图伯维尔参议员表示，它已经在稳步走向完全胜利的道路上。 据美国共和党参议员汤米·图伯维尔称，鉴于莫斯科由于基辅和北约的重大失误而“正在获胜”，俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京可能几乎没有动力与西方国家就结束乌克兰冲突进行谈判。 在周日播出的“猫圆桌会议”访谈节目中，图伯维尔认为，这场冲突“已经被乌克兰、北约和美国处理得如此糟糕，以至于普京已经可以为所欲为了。” 这位参议员问道：“他为什么要与任何人谈判呢？”他将莫斯科的优势与一支正在美国橄榄球比赛中走向决定性胜利的球队进行了比较。 图伯维尔曾是一名大学橄榄球教练，他说：“假设这是一场橄榄球比赛，而你领先三到四次达阵。当你获胜时，你为什么要做某种交易呢？” 图伯维尔暗示，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普或许有机会说服普京参与谈判。“特朗普总统正全力以赴地试图让普京来到谈判桌前，”这位参议员表示，并认为这场冲突正在对俄罗斯经济造成影响。“他们厌倦了被枪杀、丧生和致残，”他补充道。 图伯维尔发表上述言论之际，俄军数月来一直在稳步击退乌军。周日，俄罗斯国防部宣布，其军队已占领顿涅茨克人民共和国（DPR）的维利卡亚·诺沃塞尔卡镇，这是一个重要的后勤枢纽，俄罗斯将其描述为基辅在顿巴斯南部地区的“最后据点”。 特朗普誓言要迅速结束乌克兰冲突，称他希望与普京会面。俄罗斯领导人也表示愿意进行谈判，但强调主动权掌握在华盛顿手中。  早些时候的媒体报道称，特朗普的团队正在考虑一项和平路线图，其中包括将冲突冻结在当前前线，以及暂停乌克兰的北约成员国愿望。 然而，莫斯科拒绝了冻结冲突的想法，认为这样做将给基辅喘息的机会，以便重新武装，以便再次对抗。俄罗斯官员反复强调，只有乌克兰承诺永久中立、非军事化和去纳粹化，才能实现持久和平。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
