The startup ecosystem in Kerala has taken off in terms of the latest developments and incubations across the state. With Kerala Startup Mission (KSUM) playing a key role in identifying young talent and nurturing their entrepreneurial dreams, the startup ecosystem has received a major impetus with Kochi emerging as a hub for deep tech companies. One of the primary reason for its success in developing a growing startup ecosystem is its interlinking of colleges, incubators, government institutes and startups. By focussing on developing entrepreneurial skills at the grassroots level and fostering a DIY (do-it-yourself) culture in schools, in addition to mentoring through various innovation and entrepreneurship development cell in colleges, the state government has successfully brought all the stakeholders under one roof. Added to this, is the policy changes that it adopted leading to a massive boost for the startup growth in the state.

BANGALORE, INDIA - London's Gatwick and Heathrow airports have ordered military-grade anti-drone defenses worth "several million pounds" after drones caused three days of disruption at Gatwick last month, the airports confirmed late on Thursday. "While I can't go into detail about exactly what we have, I can confirm this was an investment of several million pounds to ensure we are at an equivalent level to that provided by the Armed Forces," a Gatwick spokeswoman said in an emailed statement. Gatwick said the new equipment had been in place for over a week. The statement did not give further details. Heathrow, Europe's busiest airport, also said it had ordered the equipment. It said it was working closely with authorities including the police and looking at relevant technology to combat the threat of drones.

Artificial Intelligence has with time became an essential part of our daily life since technology is used in a wide area of day to day services. The younger generations are the one to give a shape to the AI technique. Hence, it is significant for schools to introduce the concept to their curriculum. While the debate regarding the teaching methodology rages among educators, psychologists and parents, it is this emerging technology that is required to be noticed as well. In a bid to mould the education system, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) decided to include AI in their syllabus as an elective subject for students.

On Wednesday morning, a FedEx delivery man knocked on my door. His face bore a broad grin, his hands a svelte cardboard box. I nodded sleepily, and he thrust the box into my hands. "Your new iPhone is here!" he said, still smiling, evidently in anticipation of my own excitement. "Hey, thanks," I said, trying to match his enthusiasm, if only out of reciprocal politeness.

Approaching the end of current fiscal year, I take a serene glance at the memorable moments and guess what? I am quick to realize there was hardly any conference, webinar, debate, event or discussion in which there was no mention about Artificial Intelligence and its subset technologies, specifically Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Reinforcement Learning and Neural Networks. In fact, the latest 3-days conference I attended was titled'When Human Becomes Digital' and was centred around artificial intelligence. Analysts, as well as technologists, believe AI has and will continue to reign the world of technology for at least the next 2-3 years. The Ripple Effect created by these emerging technologies will gradually perish.

Hyundai is set to take the covers off what might be the craziest concept of 2019 when it unveils the Elevate on Monday. Being shown for the first time at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on Monday, it's the first UMV - or Ultimate Mobility Vehicle - fitted with legs so it can walk over difficult terrains. And it's not the only wacky offroader that will be shown to the public for the first time in the next week - Suzuki set to preview two modified versions of its latest Jimny SUV. Strolling into 2019: Hyundai is due to unveil one of the craziest concept vehicles we're likely to see all year when it takes the wraps off the Elevate in Las Vegas on January 7 Hyundai has teased what's in store for January 7 with the early release of a preview image of the incredible vehicle in question. Elevate looks set to become one of the most bonkers concepts of the year.

A cyber security researcher canceled a hacking conference briefing on how he said he could crack biometric facial recognition on Apple Inc iPhones, at the request of his employer, which called the work'misleading.' The prospect that Face ID could be defeated is troubling because it is used to lock down functions on tens of millions of iPhones from banking and healthcare apps to emails, text messages and photos. There is a one in 1 million chance a random person could unlock a Face ID, versus one in 50,000 chance that would happen with the iPhone's fingerprint sensor, according to Apple. Phil Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide marketing, announces features of the new iPhone X, including Face ID, at the Steve Jobs Theater on the new Apple campus. Now a cyber security researcher canceled a hacking conference briefing on how he said he could crack biometric facial recognition on Apple Inc iPhones, at the request of his employer, which called the work'misleading.'

Parents and experts are increasingly concerned about the damage being done to children by spending too much time looking at screens. The latest warning comes from the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, which suggested that excessive use of screens could bring a whole host of negative outcomes for young people. That includes everything from bad sleep to the potential for cyber bullying, though the organisation warned that the damage might be overestimated. Helpfully, the technology industry is increasingly aware of the same problems and is trying to solve them using products. As concern has grown about the damage their products do, developers have added features that stop other features being used – monitoring how long people spend on their phones, and kicking them off when it gets too much.

Drones have gained popularity in a wide range of field ranging from aerial photography, aerial mapping, and investigation of electric power lines. Every drone that we know today is carrying out some kind of control algorithm at the low level in order to manoeuvre itself around. For the quadrotor to either control itself autonomously or to develop a high-level user interface for us to control it, we need to understand the basic mathematics behind how it functions. This paper aims to explain the mathematical modelling of the dynamics of a 3 Dimensional quadrotor. As it may seem like a trivial task, it plays a vital role in how we control the drone. Also, additional effort has been taken to explain the transformations of the drone's frame of reference to the inertial frame of reference.

With the development of multimedia era, multi-view data is generated in various fields. Contrast with those single-view data, multi-view data brings more useful information and should be carefully excavated. Therefore, it is essential to fully exploit the complementary information embedded in multiple views to enhance the performances of many tasks. Especially for those high-dimensional data, how to develop a multi-view dimension reduction algorithm to obtain the low-dimensional representations is of vital importance but chanllenging. In this paper, we propose a novel multi-view dimensional reduction algorithm named Auto-weighted Mutli-view Sparse Reconstructive Embedding (AMSRE) to deal with this problem. AMSRE fully exploits the sparse reconstructive correlations between features from multiple views. Furthermore, it is equipped with an auto-weighted technique to treat multiple views discriminatively according to their contributions. Various experiments have verified the excellent performances of the proposed AMSRE.
