The Wisdom of Crowds is a phenomenon described in social science that suggests four criteria applicable to groups of people. It is claimed that, if these criteria are satisfied, then the aggregate decisions made by a group will often be better than those of its individual members. Inspired by this concept, we present a novel feedback framework for the cluster ensemble problem, which we call Wisdom of Crowds Cluster Ensemble (WOCCE). Although many conventional cluster ensemble methods focusing on diversity have recently been proposed, WOCCE analyzes the conditions necessary for a crowd to exhibit this collective wisdom. These include decentralization criteria for generating primary results, independence criteria for the base algorithms, and diversity criteria for the ensemble members. We suggest appropriate procedures for evaluating these measures, and propose a new measure to assess the diversity. We evaluate the performance of WOCCE against some other traditional base algorithms as well as state-of-the-art ensemble methods. The results demonstrate the efficiency of WOCCE's aggregate decision-making compared to other algorithms.

Infosys Ltd's embrace of automation and artificial intelligence technologies to boost employee productivity is taking longer than expected. India's second-largest software services exporter now expects the related productivity boost to reflect in a meaningful way only from April 2017. Chief executive officer Vishal Sikka had told Mint last October that he expected any "meaningful" impact to start reflecting by the end of March 2016. The development underlines the daunting task faced by Sikka, who is trying to put Infosys back on the global software services map and help the firm retain the bellwether tag in India's 146 billion outsourcing sector. Understandably, the theme of large-scale adoption of automation at the employer of more than 194,000 people was central to the US-based Sikka's five review meetings (including one with company's human resources head Kris Shankar) on his day-long trip to Bengaluru last Saturday.

WASHINGTON – U.S. special operations forces working with African partners called in an airstrike against the al-Qaida-linked al-Shabaab group in Somalia on Thursday, killing five, the Pentagon said. Jeff Davis said U.S. troops were advising and assisting Ugandan troops from the African Union Mission to Somalia (AMISOM) in southern Somalia, west of Mogadishu. The AMISOM troops were raiding an illegal Shabaab roadblock where the jihadis were extorting payments from drivers. "They came under fire from the al-Shabaab militants, and we called in an airstrike in their defense," Davis said. A U.S. defense official said the strike was conducted by drone.

Mumbai: Gurgaon-based employability assessment company Aspiring Minds is perhaps best known for giving the industry a very dim view of the quality of engineers in India. According to its 20 January report, "more than 80% of engineers in India continue to be unemployable". Aspiring Minds, however, does much more than just track the employability of engineers in the country. In the words of its co-founder and chief technology officer (CTO) Varun Aggarwal, Aspiring Minds is "interested in the big picture". "We ask questions like, 'How do we identify what jobs people in the job market will be successful at?'; 'How do we make this assessment, or automatically assess programming skills?'; 'Or, for that matter, gauge how well a candidate speaks English?'"

About a year and a half ago, I announced in a firm-wide meeting that the future of law must incorporate some form of artificial intelligence, allowing for quicker and certainly more accurate research for clients. I had started developing the project six months prior. That morning was my big revelation. I remember bounding into work so excited to share the news to the forty-plus Rose Law Group team members. I enthusiastically announced that we were in the process of developing a robot lawyer, who would make our research about 100 times quicker than a human, with a less than 1 percent chance of being in any way inaccurate.

A century ago, more than 60,000 tigers roamed the wild. Today, that number has dwindled to around 3,200. Poaching is one of the main drivers of this steep decline. Humans have pushed tigers to near-extinction, whether for their skins, medicine or for trophy hunting. The same applies to other large animal species like elephants and rhinoceros that play unique and crucial roles in the ecosystems where they live. Human patrols serve as the most direct form of protection of endangered animals, especially in large national parks.

While CRISPR, nanobots and head transplants are making headlines as medical breakthroughs, a number of new technologies are also making progress tackling some of the toughest age-old diseases still plaguing millions of people in the poorest parts of the world. In low income countries, over 75% of the population dies before the age of 70 due to infectious diseases including HIV/AIDS, lung infections, tuberculosis, diarrheal diseases, malaria, and increasingly, cardiovascular diseases. Over a third of deaths in low income countries are among children under age 14 primarily due to pneumonia, diarrheal diseases, malaria and neonatal complications. In the developed world, those living in extreme poverty, such as homeless populations, also die on average at age 48. Over the last year, artificial intelligence, robotics and biotechnology have all generated a number of new solutions that have the potential to dramatically reduce these problems.

At 100million a pop, you might expect F-35 fighter jets to take-off at the first time of asking. But the life of a test pilot is not that simple, with dozens of computer systems to calibrate and reset before the Air Force's most sophisticated plane can even taxi to the runway. Defense News got a glimpse of how testing F-35s works during a visit to Edwards Air Force Base in southern California. Major Raven LeClair, of the 461st flight test squadron, begins his day at around 10am by checking the plane for any issues. It immediately became clear that the day's testing would not pass without a hitch, with an alarm sounding as soon as he got to the aircraft.

One day in January, Eric Wilson dashed off a message to the teaching assistants for an online course at the Georgia Institute of Technology. "I really feel like I missed the mark in giving the correct amount of feedback," he wrote, pleading to revise an assignment. Thirteen minutes later, the TA responded. "Unfortunately, there is not a way to edit submitted feedback," wrote Jill Watson, one of nine assistants for the 300-plus students. Last week, Mr. Wilson found out he had been seeking guidance from a computer.
