Shepherds – yes, this is a reference to the popular medical drama "Grey's Anatomy" – who work in hospitals around the world may soon get a new assistant. No, not just another intern but an extra pair of virtual eyes to help them better diagnose stroke victims. Tel Aviv-based MedyMatch Technology Ltd., which hopes to have its first commercially available product as soon as the first half of 2017, is developing an artificial intelligence (AI) platform for critical areas of patient care. The platform is meant to help study data more quickly and accurately than the human eye, and help physicians with their clinical decisions in a wide set of healthcare issues. MedyMatch's first area of focus will be for stroke patients.

Streaming video helps sell shoes because Amazon Prime members buy more, Bezos says. Inc. chief executive officer spoke at Recode's Code conference Tuesday night about artificial intelligence, privacy on the internet, his goals with the Washington Post, Amazon's ambitions in entertainment, and more. Amazon is No. 1 in the Internet Retailer 2016 Top 500 Guide. For Netflix, Amazon is a particularly complex competitor because their goals aren't the same. The way Bezos looks at streaming video: "It helps us sell more shoes," he said.

Sony (NYSE:SNE) outlined a cautious outlook for the financial year 2016. However this did not convince the market as the stock price strengthened further on its release. As I pointed out in an article in March Sony has set out a strong position in the youth dynamic. This is headlined by its move into Virtual Reality and further Playstation products, as well as a strengthening position in the fast-growing streaming Music business. Its successful re-organization moves and new products I highlighted in an earlier article. The establishment of their "Business Incubation Group" to brainstorm on new products and new concepts shows that creativity is back at the front of the company's agenda.

Practicing the scientific approach to the data exploration one should know at what extent certain method can be applied. Neural Nets are futile for the stock market's predictions. Monte-Carlo algorithms couldn't offer much help either, and poorly implemented Random Forest algorithm can literally ruin your vacation in South-East Asia, especially if it was implemented by NSA. In this article we will briefly introduce machine learning methods classification and see how they are relevant to the different lines of business. From the cradle to the grave, we are making decisions - from our first decision to attract mother's attention to one of our last decisions when asking the doctor for pain treatment.

According to Pew Research Center's analysis of comScore data, at the start of 2015, 39 of the top 50 digital news websites have more traffic to their sites and associated applications coming from mobile devices than from desktop computers. This fact is self -explanatory why service providers are moving towards news app. More and more apps are being launched worldwide each one claiming to be exclusive and original. But the truth is they are not, especially news apps. With the abundance of data being generated every second, there has been an excess of information.

"Content moderation" might sound like a commonplace academic or editorial task, but the reality is far darker. Internationally, there are more than 100,000 people, many in the Philippines but also in the U.S., whose job each day is to scan online content to screen for obscene, hateful, threatening, abusive, or otherwise disgusting content, according to Wired. The toll this work takes on moderators can be likened to post-traumatic stress disorder, leaving emotional and psychological scars that can remain for life if untreated. That's a grim reality seldom publicized in the rush to have everyone engaged online at all times. Twitter, Facebook, Google, Netflix, YouTube, and other companies may not publicize content moderation issues, but that doesn't mean the companies aren't working hard to stop the further harm caused to those who screen visual and written content.

Computex has always been a PC show and with good reason--Taiwan designs most of the world's computers and manufactures many of the components that end up in them. But with the PC market still in the doldrums, this year there is a concerted effort to broaden the show to encompass buzzier themes such as the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and robotics, and virtual reality. That trend was reflected in Intel's opening keynote, which covered a wide range of technology from home gateways to drones to VR gaming to media processing to machine intelligence. That's not say the PC wasn't present. But Intel rushed though the PCs mentioning a handful of innovative PCs (HP Spectre 13, Lenovo Ideacentre 610s and Intel Skull Canyon NUC) and 2-in-1s (Acer Switch 12, Dell Inspiron 11 3000 and Huawei MateBook).
