The pictures of the brightly coloured marine life were captured by researchers in Antarctica who are working on a better understanding of the impact of acidification on marine life on the sea floor. The pictures were captured by researchers in Antarctica who are working on a better understanding of the impact of acidification on marine life on the sea floor.

We've been hearing about AI, machine learning, natural language processing, and the like for a while now. Sometimes, even referred to as the same thing. But really, what are those things? How do they affect Google's search results? And why does any of this even matter? In this article, I've put together 5 trends that are revolutionizing search, with a detailed explanation of the mechanisms behind each one, its role in Google's ranking algorithm, and the impact it's likely to have on SEO. But before we get down to the five, here's an important notice: all these five concepts, or "trends", do not exist in isolation and are deeply interconnected in Google's algo. Often, I will be calling a trend something that is in fact only one side of a phenomenon. I'm doing this because that side has its distinct traits and impact on SEO.

May 14, 2017, will be the 100th anniversary of the birth of someone you might not have heard of: William Thomas ("Bill") Tutte. During the Second World War he made several crucial contributions to decrypting the Lorenz cipher used to protect the Nazi high command's most crucial radio communications. This work provided the statistical method implemented electronically by Tommy Flowers, a telecommunications engineer, in the Colossus machines, which pioneered many of the electronic engineering techniques later used to build digital computers and network equipment.a The British code-breaking effort of the Second World War, formerly secret, is now one of the most celebrated aspects of modern British history, an inspiring story in which a free society mobilized its intellectual resources against a terrible enemy. That's a powerful source of nostalgic pride for a country whose national identity and relationship with its neighbors are increasingly uncertain. Tutte's centennial gives a chance to consider the broader history of Bletchley Park, where the codebreakers worked, and the way in which it has been remembered. Some kinds of people, and work, have become famous and others have not. Films reach more people than books. So statistically speaking, most of what you know about Bletchley Park probably comes from the Oscar-winning film The Imitation Game. This gives us a starting point: the film is a bad guide to reality but a useful summary of everything that the popular imagination gets wrong about Bletchley Park. One myth is that Alan Turing won the war pretty much by himself.

Techno-optimism is defined as the belief that technology can improve the lives of people. It was famously satired in the U.S. television comedy series "Silicon Valley," with a startup-company's founders pledging to "make the world a better place through Paxos algorithms for consensus protocols." But some people take techno-optimism very seriously. Ray Kurzweil, an accomplished tech innovator, described his techno-optimistic vision in his books: The Age of Spiritual Machines, How to Create a Mind: The Secret of Human Thought Revealed, and The Singularity Is Near. In a keynote address (see https://goo.gl/RwkwK1) at the 2016 meeting of the Computing Research Association, Kentaro Toyama argued that "In spite of the do-gooder rhetoric of Silicon Valley, it is no secret that computing technology in and of itself cannot solve systemic social problems."

ASUS held an event in Taiwan today announcing the availability of its Zenbo robot. From January 1st, customers in the country will be able to pick up one for between $620 and $780, depending on configuration. Engadget Chinese editor-in-chief Richard Lai wrote many words in his dispatch from the launch, including some that detail new features coming to Zenbo. You should read those if you want to know more about it, but I have more important things on my mind. At the robot's launch event in Taiwan, Asus decided it was apt to ring in the holiday season by getting a choir of Zenbos to perform Mariah Carey's Christmas classic, "All I Want For Christmas Is You."

Researchers at Tohoku University have, for the first time, successfully demonstrated the basic operation of spintronics-based artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence, which emulates the information processing function of the brain that can quickly execute complex and complicated tasks such as image recognition and weather prediction, has attracted growing attention and has already been partly put to practical use. The currently-used artificial intelligence works on the conventional framework of semiconductor-based integrated circuit technology. However, this lacks the compactness and low-power feature of the human brain. To overcome this challenge, the implementation of a single solid-state device that plays the role of a synapse is highly promising.

Big data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI) and cognitive computing are all the rage as we near the end of 2016 and whilst they might not be something you'll find gift-wrapped under your tree, the presents, the tree itself and even your Christmas dinner may well be a by-product of these technology trends. Could AI top the charts this Christmas? Researchers at The University of Toronto have created a programme that can automatically generate a song, based on any digital image. Whilst it's unlikely to top the charts this festive season (or indeed at any time), this particular masterpiece – inspired by a photo of a Christmas tree – will almost certainly put a smile on your face! "We are used to thinking about AI for robotics and things like that. The question now is what can AI do for us?" said Raquel Urtasun, an associate professor in machine learning and computer vision at Toronto's computer science lab.

At Computex, ASUS captured the hearts of many with its cute home robot, Zenbo, with Chairman Jonney Shih hinting at a retail launch before end of this year. At today's local launch event, the company announced that its Intel-powered bot will be up for grabs in Taiwan on January 1st, albeit in a limited quantity for the first batch. Price-wise it starts from NT$19,900 or about US$620 -- just a tad more than the intended $599 price point -- for the 32GB standard package, and then there's a 128GB model plus self-charging dock for NT$24,900 or about US$780. But the biggest news today is perhaps ASUS' collaboration with Taiwan's National Police Agency, in order to enable emergency video calls with the police via Zenbo. Details are vague at the moment, but we did see a live demo in which a demonstrator pinged the actual call center (which is probably why they only did the demo once).

Downtown Redwood City is home to cloud-storage company Box, virtual reality start-up AltspaceVR, music identification app Shazam and artificial Christmas tree-maker Balsam Hill. "It's definitely weird for us to be here," said Thomas Harman, the 40-year-old founder and chief executive of the holiday decoration company. But rather than feel like his company doesn't belong in a neighborhood known for its software businesses and venture capital firms, Harman has embraced his 11-year-old company's tech hub home. He describes his business as having one foot planted in the slow-moving seasonal decorations world (where products are planned 18 months in advance) and another in Silicon Valley (where thinking-outside-the-box is often thought to be the only way to think). "If you compare us to people doing artificial intelligence and machine learning, or Google and Facebook, we're obviously not doing anything earth-shattering like that," Harman said. "But we like to think we're pushing the envelope when it comes to holiday decorations."
