In The News This Week - Top 10 Robots
In The News This Week is a page intended to keep my readers up to speed with anything new that I pickup online or offline that has to do with the robotic world that we are now entering very rapidly. Other pages of this website reviews a number robots that we are using on a daily basis in order to help make our lives easier, or as hobby, sport, or for professional purposes. If you would like to share your experience with any kind of robots you are using, or simply comment or ask questions, please feel free to do so at the bottom of any page or article. My latest article of "In The News This Week" starts from here. A house of 95 m2 / 1,022 sq ft has already been built thanks to this new technique. On the slab of freshly poured concrete, a robot moves on its wheels and makes work tirelessly with his articulated arm. He draws expansive foam cords one above the other to form a shuttering in which he then pour the concrete. This is how he manages to build perfectly insulated walls on each side at a bewildering speed. "It's been an hour and a half since the work began and the walls are already over 80 cm / 31 in. It is not a prototype, he pointed out, but a place that is meant to be useful. The 95 m2 / 1,022 sq ft house was finished by the end of that week and ready for the coming Christmas once the finishing work was completed. After being opened to the public, this T 5 will then be inhabited, a year later, by "traditional" tenants on the Nantes Métropole Habitat waiting list. "This house, which is already certified, says Benoit Furet, teacher-researcher at the University of Nantes at the heart of this project is called Yhnova.
LEARNING PATH: Python: Advanced Machine Learning with Python
Are you interested to enter into the world of data science and learn the most effective machine learning tools and techniques with Python? then you should surely go for this Learning Path. Packt's Video Learning Paths are a series of individual video products put together in a logical and stepwise manner such that each video builds on the skills learned in the video before it. Machine learning and data science are some of the top buzzwords in the technical world today. Machine learning - the application and science of algorithms that makes sense of data, is the most exciting field of all the computer sciences! The resurgent interest in machine learning is due to the same factors that have made data science more popular than ever.
Marvelstone Launches Private Equity Fund to Drive AI Investment - LATTICE80
Marvelstone Group, the private investment firm based in Singapore, has launched a private equity fund to drive artificial intelligence (AI) investment. The group will invest in AI startups and projects through Marvelstone Capital, across geographies including the UK, China, Singapore, and Canada. The open-ended, stage agnostic fund is targeting a capital raise of US$20 million in its first stage, with an investment thesis that balances investments between developed and emerging markets to maximise portfolio synergies. One of the fund's first key investments will be into an AI hub project, with capital deployments to begin in 2018. Joel KO Hyun Sik, President of Marvelstone Group, said: "We see AI as a paradigm shifting technology, along with blockchain. The launch of this private equity fund is in line with our earlier announcement from October last year to launch an AI hub. We have also been building a database of global AI startups and projects, with plans to invest in startups at the cutting edge of global trends."
SK Telecom Will Incorporate AI into its 5G Network
SK Telecom is considered one of most progressive operators when it comes to 5G development. Last year Juniper Research ranked the operator No. 1 on its list of "most promising" 5G operators for its extensive time in development; the breadth and value of the operators' 5G partnerships; and its progress in 5G network testing. So it is not particularly surprising that the South Korean operator is already working on ways to use artificial intelligence (AI) to make its 5G network more efficient. The company realizes without AI there will be a lot manual operations necessary to constantly change the network parameters and settings and to adjust capacity. "We want to talk about how to efficiently operate 5G infrastructure using AI," said Haesung Park, senior manager of the ICT R&D Center, network technology R&D center, access network lab at SK Telecom. Park will be speaking at the New Horizons Symposium in Austin, Texas, May 16-17.

South Korea university demonstrates people-carrying robot
Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology demonstrates a robot designed for rescue missions or helping people with disabilities. The institute is facing a boycott from artificial intelligence researchers from nearly 30 countries over concerns that a new lab that has partnered with a leading defence company could lead to'killer robots' Subscribe to Guardian News http://bit.ly/guardianwiressub Guardian Science and Tech http://is.gd/guardiantech
Can Machine Learning Algorithms Be Patented? And Should They Be?
Patents are intangible assets, that is they are products of ideas and thinking, and fall under Intellectual Property (IP). Now, IP is subject to the region/country of the applicant and is regulated by the respective government of those countries and regions. For example, in the United States, ML related work are appreciated and the ease of filing patents is considerably less rigorous compared to the European Union, where the emphasis is more on the method or working model which incorporates the related field of work rather than the actual work itself. This again does not hold good all the time with the United States scrutinising software patents. When it comes to India, the patent filing process is again stringent and requires consent from the government authorities even though it promotes filing patents for startups.
