Nastel Announces AutoPilot Insight 2.0 Fusing Machine Learning, Business Transactions and Mobile Analytics - Nastel Technologies, Inc.
Melville, NY (PRWEB) January 17, 2017 – Nastel Technologies, a global provider of enterprise-grade operations analytics and application performance monitoring (APM) solutions, announced the next-generation version of its flagship software platform, AutoPilot Insight 2.0. According to Charley Rich, VP Product Management "The new release fuses predictive anomaly and machine learning capabilities, business transaction tracking that spans corporate firewalls, raw information handling and analytics speed, and the flexibility to operate across dynamic IT environments--from mobile to mainframe. It provides the broad array of capabilities needed by developers, IT admins, and business analysts for enterprise-grade operations intelligence and APM." Rich said building a solution that fully addresses today's client requirements demanded two years of ground-up product re-engineering. "Customers universally remarked that they needed to find data outliers faster and sense problem conditions before they actually affect users. They also wanted more powerful end-to-end transaction tracking capabilities, with the ability to tie transaction performance to business outcomes."
Watch Nintendo's First-Ever Super Bowl Commercial
It's a video flush with Nintendophile Easter eggs, a 30 second argument for the company's imminent Nintendo Switch hybrid home/mobile game system -- due March 3 for $299 -- told in 2 or 3 second slices of tag-along familiarity. And it marks Nintendo's maiden foray into the coveted, hyper-scrutinized world of one of the most visible Western media events of the year. Yes, it's also effectively a promotional spot for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the company's sandbox take on its beloved action-adventure series about a young boy who does battle with nefarious forces. That alone speaks volumes about the company's demographic launch mindset. To say nothing of the casually tatted millennial player in the ad, a recurring, non-accidental theme in Nintendo's Switch marketing to this point.
Millions of Xbox and PlayStation players' personal data has been stolen
Hackers have stolen the login details of 2.5 million PlayStation and Xbox users. The email addresses and passwords of gamers who had been using the unofficial Xbox360 ISO and PSP ISO forums, which players use to share links to download free and pirated versions of games, were exposed by the cybercriminals behind the hack.

Predicting Car Problems Before They Occur - DZone Big Data
A number of fascinating projects have emerged that aim to use AI to better understand the way vibrations can give us insight into the health (or not) of machinery. A recent paper from the University of Alabama in Huntsville describes a new algorithm that aims to provide a diagnostic function for the mechanical systems that form such a big part of our commercial engine. "The ability to extract dependable and actionable information from the vibration of machines will allow businesses to keep their assets running for longer while spending far less in maintenance. Also, the investment to get there will be just software," the researcher says. A number of companies are deploying this kind of approach in the real world, with German startup KONUX making headway in the railway industry.
Can Eagle-Eyed Artificial Intelligence Help Prevent Children From Going Blind?
In America, congenital cataracts--a clouding of the eye lens at birth that can lead to blindness--are vanishingly (and thankfully) uncommon. Like tooth decay or tetanus, better screening and technologies have led to earlier diagnoses, and the problem can largely be cured with surgery. But in developing countries, a lack of widespread expertise and resources mean that hundreds of thousands of children are now blind due to this treatable disease. "Missed or mistaken diagnoses, as well as inappropriate treatment decisions, are common among rare-disease patients and are contrary to the goals of precision medicine, especially in developing countries with large populations, such as China," write a group of Chinese researchers in a study published Monday in the journal Nature Biomedical Engineering. These researchers aim to fix that preventable treatment gap by using eagle-eyed AI.
Facebook scammers are copying users' names, profile pictures and statuses to steal their money
Facebook scammers are making carbon copies of legitimate profiles in order to trick users into revealing financial and personal details, in a tactic known as'cloning'. By creating a new account using the exact same name, personal information and profile and cover photos included on your own profile – even going as far as copying your statuses – they can do a convincing job of imitating you online. The scheme allows them to confidently approach your friends and family members, who could unknowingly accept a friend request from the clone account and eventually share private information with it, depending on how convincing their messages appear.

Face value
When the BBC broadcast the recent documentary by Louis Theroux that looked back at the time he spent in the company of Jimmy Savile, there was disbelief across social media that no one had stepped in to stop Savile from committing his crimes. Some blamed the BBC, some blamed those in Savile's immediate circle, but others blamed a simple error of human judgment. "He literally couldn't look more like a paedophile," read one post – one of many to state a supposedly incontrovertible truth: that Savile's criminal tendencies could have been detected from the shape of his features, his eyes, his hair. Moreover, this has nothing to do with the benefit of hindsight and should have been picked up at the time. His looks, they suggested, were a moral indicator, with a wealth of compelling visual evidence to support the claim. We know that paedophiles, murderers and other violent criminals come in many shapes and sizes.
The Age of AI: What You Need to Know to Prepare for Synthetic Intelligence
With all the talk surrounding AI it can be easy to forget that this is still a human driven endeavor. People are behind all of the progress that has been made and are still (for now) doing all of the leg work. So to get some idea of where it is going it is probably best to listen to those driving it forward. Here are some of the most influential figures in the field and their takes on where machine learning will go. For a long time Geoffrey Hinton toiled away in relative obscurity developing his machine learning algorithms.
Japan to use artificial intelligence to treat cancer
Japanese scientists will use artificial intelligence to diagnose cancerous diseases and choose necessary treatment of cancer. Institute of Japanese Foundation for Cancer Research in cooperation with FRONTEO Healthcare Company develop a system of precise treatment of cancer. The technology is said to be based on the structure of artificial intelligence. The technology is expected to work on the basis of genetic analysis of each patient. Artificial intelligence will be used to analyze symptoms, peculiarities and characteristics to select appropriate scientific works.
