A smartwatch with a wrist band integrated with the fibres functioned as a flexible and conformal sensor to measure heart rate, as opposed to traditional designs where a rigid sensor is installed on the body of the smartwatch, which may not be reliable in circumstances when users are very active, and the sensor is not in contact with the skin.

From

The Bayesian component of the study enabled the researchers to derive new bounds for the properties of neutron-star matter, demonstrating them to approach so-called conformal behavior near the cores of the most massive stable neutron stars.

From

"Using the technique of conformal prediction, which quantifies the language model's uncertainty in a more rigorous way than prior methods, allows us to get to a higher level of success" while minimizing the frequency of triggering help, said the study's senior author Anirudha Majumdar, an assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Princeton.

From

Using a statistical approach called conformal prediction and a user-specified guaranteed success rate, the researchers designed their algorithm to trigger a request for human help when the options meet a certain probability threshold.

From

This is called a conformal transformation.
