Object detection is a domain that has benefited immensely from the recent developments in deep learning. Recent years have seen people develop many algorithms for object detection, some of which include YOLO, SSD, Mask RCNN and RetinaNet.

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. If you are a newbie entrepreneur looking at starting up a venture with aims of developing smart models for society, then it becomes imminent that the social sectors which could get disrupted to the maximum through your smart models are listed. In this regard, Entrepreneur India interacted with a multitude of industry individuals to decode on potentially disruptive sectors so that you could look at developing solutions by harnessing disruptive technology. Undoubtedly, Indian healthcare now deserves a much-required shot-in-the-arm as far as making facilities accessible and affordable to people across geographies and financial backgrounds are concerned. Here is where your startups could come into leverage technology like Blockchain, the Internet-of-Things ("IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Predictive Analytics.

The fashion robocalypse is upon us. Personalised outfits will soon be stitched in milliseconds by machines, and the Cher Horowitz digital-wardrobe of dreams will be issued as standard. But we may well be heading in that direction and ELLE is here to find out what role robots might have to play in the future of our daily wardrobes and whether this could have a positive outcome for the planet. As consumers, we've reached a deadlock. As we watch those viral Instagram videos of plastic debris clogging up the oceans and the eternally growing landfill sites ruining the rest of the natural world, our appetite for throw-away purchases is waning.

BEIRUT – A research director at a military agency linked to Syria's chemical weapons program was assassinated, a newspaper close to the Syrian government reported Sunday. The pro-government al-Watan newspaper reported on its website that Aziz Esber, of the Scientific Studies and Research Center, died in a blast targeting his car Saturday night, in Syria's Hama province. It said Israel was suspected of carrying out the attack. There was no comment from Israeli or Syrian government officials. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors the Syria war through local contacts, also reported Esber's death.

A smart dishwasher should sense how caked-on the crud is on your plates and rinse them accordingly. Smart air conditioners should map your room like an air-traffic controller and cool different parts to different degrees. A smart oven should know whether you've put in brisket or a spoon roast and cook accordingly. But they will be -- and artificial intelligence is the cornerstone to improving all of those devices, said I.P. Park, president and CTO of LG Electronics. "Currently you need to be smart to use a smartphone."

After an eight-year-long absence from the most populated country in the world, Google search is going to dramatically make a comeback in China. Google is reportedly planning to launch a censored version of its search engine in China that is going to blacklist certain websites and search terms to comply with Chinese government's attempts to censor the Internet, a whistleblower revealed. According to leaked documents obtained by The Intercept, CEO Sundar Pichai met with a Chinese government official in December 2017 to re-enter the world's largest market for internet users. Project Dragonfly -- Censored Google Search Engine Since spring last year Google engineers have been secretly working on a project, dubbed "Dragonfly," which currently includes two Android mobile apps named--Maotai and Longfei--one of which will get launched by the end of this year after Chinese officials approve it. The censored version of Google search engine in the form of a mobile app reportedly aims to "blacklist sensitive queries" and filter out all websites (news, human rights, democracy, religion) blocked by the Chinese government, including Wikipedia, BBC News, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

Miriam Adelson is an accomplished physician who has published around a hundred research papers on the physiology and treatment of addiction. She also runs a high-profile substance-abuse clinic in Las Vegas. Yet Wikipedia does not have an entry for her. Adelson was among thousands of names flagged by Quicksilver, a software tool by San Francisco startup Primer designed to help Wikipedia editors fill in blind spots in the crowdsourced encyclopedia. Its underrepresentation of women in science is a particular target.

In 2016, North America dominated the global market, in terms of revenue, accounting for about 49.0% share of the global market, followed by Europe. AI is associated to human intelligence with similar characteristics such as language understanding, reasoning, learning, problem solving, and other. The market for artificial intelligence is primarily driven by the improved productivity, diversified application areas, increased customer satisfaction, and big data integration. However, lack of skilled workforce and threat to human dignity & other threats are some of the restraints of the market. Nonetheless, the impact of these factors is expected to be minimal due to the introduction of new technologies in the market.

Google refused to confirm if it's truly been developing a censored search engine for China after reports about the project's existence came out, but it might soon have no choice but to come clean. A group of six Democratic and Republican Senators led by Marco Rubio has penned a letter addressed to Google chief Sundar Pichai demanding concrete answers. They want to know once and for all whether the tech giant is conjuring up a version of its search engine that'll work behind the Great Firewall. The Senators called the move "deeply troubling" if true, pointing out that that it "risks making Google complicit in human rights abuses related to China's rigorous censorship regime." While the company has yet to confirm the project (reportedly called "Dragonfly"), it's easy to see why the Senators would be concerned.

Whenever something serious happens, we usually try and determine cause and effect. What was it that caused this thing to unfold the way it did? Whilst the theory is nice, we often employ some rather dubious explanations to try and explain the series of events. There have been attempts in the past to generate mathematical models for general causality, but they haven't been particularly effective, especially for more complex problems. A new study from the University of Johannesburg, South Africa and National Institute of Technology Rourkela, India, has attempted to use AI to do a better job.
