SCMP: Chinese, US scientists develop AI technology to help detect submarines in uncharted waters

* Researchers say system should allow them to track any sound-emitting source – from nuclear subs to whales – using a simple listening device mounted on a buoy, underwater drone or ship
* Breakthrough builds on previous work by team from Beijing and San Diego

Scientists from China and the United States have developed a new artificial intelligence
-based system that they say will make it easier to detect submarines in uncharted waters.

The technology builds on earlier work by the team, led by Dr Niu Haiqiang from the Institute of Acoustics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, which saw them develop a deep-learning algorithm that could improve the speed and precision of detection.

The algorithm, however, needs a large amount of data to work, so its use is limited to waters that have already been fully charted. In contrast, the upgrade works in all waters, charted or otherwise.
