NuTonomy, Groupe PSA to Collaborate on Self-Driving Cars

U.S. News

Self-driving software company nuTonomy is teaming up with French automaker Groupe PSA. Boston-based nuTonomy says it plans to install its software and specialized sensors into two Peugeot 3008 SUVs this summer. It will begin testing them on public roads in Singapore in September. The companies plan to expand that test fleet to about a dozen vehicles by the beginning of 2018. Eventually, nuTonomy and Groupe PSA say they could expand testing to other cities worldwide.


Groupe PSA, NuTonomy team to test fully automated Peugeot 3008s

PCWorld

NuTonomy, a developer of software for self-driving cars, has teamed with Groupe PSA to integrate its software, along with sensors and computing platforms, into fully autonomous Peugeot 3008 sport utility vehicles that have been customized by the French car maker for the purpose. The startup, which is conducting public trials of a self-driving car service in Singapore, and is also testing its autonomous vehicles on public roads in Boston, said that on-road testing of self-driving 3008s is expected to start in Singapore in September. The tests may be extended to other key cities. NuTonomy, a startup set up by two former MIT experts in the areas of robotics and intelligent vehicle technology, started offering rides in its self-driving taxis to select people in Singapore in August last year, under an agreement with Singapore's Land Transport Authority (LTA). The tie-up between NuTonomy and PSA Group appears to be similar to that between Waymo, a unit of Google's parent Alphabet, which started integrating its autonomous technology with vehicles from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles last year.


Machine Learning Will Reshape Diagnostic Medicine

#artificialintelligence

Diagnosing disease is one of the more labor-intensive aspects of the healthcare system. It also happens to be one that is particularly well-suited to being performed by machine learning algorithms. While work in this area is in its early stages, the technology is evolving rapidly and appears poised to transform diagnostic medicine. Thanks largely to the huge volumes of data collected from patients, medical diagnostics is an ideal domain for machine learning. Much of the diagnostic data is image-based, such as X-rays, MRI scans, and ultrasound imagery, but can also include things like genomic profiles, epidemiological data, blood tests, biopsy results, and even medical research papers. As a result, there is a wealth of data available for training neural networks and for other machine learning techniques.


Everyone Is Talking About AI, but What Does It Mean for Marketers Right Now?

#artificialintelligence

Artificial Intelligence may be the most bandied about term of 2017. For consumers, AI is powering everything from virtual personal assistants and real-time translation to GPS navigation and self-driving cars. In business, AI is under the hood of everything from ride-sharing fleets to aerial analysis of shopping malls to credit scoring. Ad and marketing tech, of course, are no exception. As the CMO's role grows to include everything from ad tech to customer relations and corporate strategy, it becomes clear that unique and valuable insights--the kind analyzed by AI from mountains and mountains of data--are key.


Artificial intelligence to take over half of all jobs in next decade – China's top techie

AI is the "singular thing that will be larger than all of human tech revolutions added together, including electricity, the industrial revolution, the internet, mobile internet - because AI is pervasive," the technologist said at the Global Mobile Internet Conference in Beijing as quoted by CNBC. According to Lee, AI represents the decision engine that would replace people. The tech expert stressed that its capabilities far exceed those of humanity. The corporations, which Sinovation Ventures has invested in, can accomplish feats such as recognizing three million faces simultaneously or dispersing loans in eight seconds. "These are things that are superhuman, and we think this will be in every industry, will probably replace 50 percent of human jobs, create an huge amount of wealth for mankind and wipe out poverty," Lee said.

A Chinese tech giant has declared its intent to master AI

#artificialintelligence

One of China's biggest tech companies, Tencent, is establishing an AI research lab in Seattle, demonstrating a growing determination to master a technology that looks set to define the future of many industries. Tencent is already one of China's dominant tech companies. It operates the hugely successful mobile chat app WeChat--which boasts over 889 million active users in China--along with lots of other social tools, e-commerce services, games, and the like. Based in Shenzhen, a manufacturing hub in the southeastern part of the country, Tencent has the potential to become a key player in the development and commercialization of artificial intelligence. The company has the money, the reach, and the data to attract strong researchers.


Facebook likes don't make people any less miserable, study confirms

The Independent - Tech

You'll still be miserable even if people on Facebook like you, a new study has confirmed. Receiving likes on social media posts doesn't make people feel better about themselves or improve their mood if they are down, according to the research. The findings come from a study that saw 340 people, recruited via Twitter and Facebook, complete personality questionnaires. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph. The giant human-like robot bears a striking resemblance to the military robots starring in the movie'Avatar' and is claimed as a world first by its creators from a South Korean robotic company Waseda University's saxophonist robot WAS-5, developed by professor Atsuo Takanishi and Kaptain Rock playing one string light saber guitar perform jam session A man looks at an exhibit entitled'Mimus' a giant industrial robot which has been reprogrammed to interact with humans during a photocall at the new Design Museum in South Kensington, London Electrification Guru Dr. Wolfgang Ziebart talks about the electric Jaguar I-PACE concept SUV before it was unveiled before the Los Angeles Auto Show in Los Angeles, California, U.S The Jaguar I-PACE Concept car is the start of a new era for Jaguar.


Amobee at SemEval-2017 Task 4: Deep Learning System for Sentiment Detection on Twitter

arXiv.org Machine Learning

This paper describes the Amobee sentiment analysis system, adapted to compete in SemEval 2017 task 4. The system consists of two parts: a supervised training of RNN models based on a Twitter sentiment treebank, and the use of feedforward NN, Naive Bayes and logistic regression classifiers to produce predictions for the different sub-tasks. The algorithm reached the 3rd place on the 5-label classification task (sub-task C).
