Juergen Schmidhuber taught a computer to park a car. He's also showing that same machine how to trade stocks and detect flaws in steel production. Unrelated as these tasks may appear, Schmidhuber thinks a seemingly random training regimen is key to creating artificial intelligence that can solve any problem. Schmidhuber's AI theories tend to carry weight. In 1997, he co-authored a seminal paper that laid the groundwork for modern AI systems.

We can use them to sing, shout and whisper sweet nothings. We can use them to activate gadgets and prove who we are to banks. And now researchers believe they can also reveal whether we're getting ill. A US start-up called Canary Speech is developing a way of analysing conversations using machine learning to test for a number of neurological and cognitive diseases, ranging from Parkinson's to dementia. The project was born out of a painful personal experience for the firm's co-founder Henry O'Connell.

The US Navy has revealed plans for a radical new smart'mini missile' that can be fired from warships to take out swarms of enemy drones and boats. Known as the Multi Azimuth Defense Fast Intercept Round Engagement System (MAD-FIRES) program, it will develop a'medium-caliber guided projectile'. DARPA says this will'combine the guidance, precision, and accuracy of missiles with the speed, rapid-fire capability, and large ammunition capacity of medium-caliber bullets like 20-to-40-caliber ammunition designed to destroy lightly armored vehicles, aircraft, and personnel.' Navy bosses say they need the new mini missile to deal with the increasing risk of'swarm' attacks, and hope with fit it to warships such at the USS Enterprise (pictured) The MAD FIRES will be enhanced ammunition rounds able to alter their flight path in real time to stay on target. They will be able to continuously target, track and engage multiple fast-approaching targets simultaneously and re-engage any targets that survive initial engagement.

If the vision of Industry 4.0 is to be realized, most enterprise processes must become more digitized. A critical element will be the evolution of traditional supply chains toward a connected, smart, and highly efficient supply chain ecosystem. The supply chain today is a series of largely discrete, siloed steps taken through marketing, product development, manufacturing, and distribution, and finally into the hands of the customer. Digitization brings down those walls, and the chain becomes a completely integrated ecosystem that is fully transparent to all the players involved -- from the suppliers of raw materials, components, and parts, to the transporters of those supplies and finished goods, and finally to the customers demanding fulfillment. This network will depend on a number of key technologies: integrated planning and execution systems, logistics visibility, autonomous logistics, smart procurement and warehousing, spare parts management, and advanced analytics. The result will enable companies to react to disruptions in the supply chain, and even anticipate them, by fully modeling the network, creating "what-if" scenarios, and adjusting the supply chain in real time as conditions change. Once built -- and the components are starting to be developed today -- the digital supply "network" will offer a new degree of resiliency and responsiveness enabling companies that get there first to beat the competition in the effort to provide customers with the most efficient and transparent service delivery. At most companies, products are delivered to customers through a very standardized process. Marketing analyzes customer demand and tries to predict sales for the coming period. With that information, manufacturing orders raw materials, components, and parts for the anticipated capacity.

We consider the problem of estimating the parameters of a linear univariate autoregressive model with sub-Gaussian innovations from a limited sequence of consecutive observations. Assuming that the parameters are compressible, we analyze the performance of the $\ell_1$-regularized least squares as well as a greedy estimator of the parameters and characterize the sampling trade-offs required for stable recovery in the non-asymptotic regime. In particular, we show that for a fixed sparsity level, stable recovery of AR parameters is possible when the number of samples scale sub-linearly with the AR order. Our results improve over existing sampling complexity requirements in AR estimation using the LASSO, when the sparsity level scales faster than the square root of the model order. We further derive sufficient conditions on the sparsity level that guarantee the minimax optimality of the $\ell_1$-regularized least squares estimate. Applying these techniques to simulated data as well as real-world datasets from crude oil prices and traffic speed data confirm our predicted theoretical performance gains in terms of estimation accuracy and model selection.

Before discussing the challenges of real-time coordination Spoken interaction is typically coordinated on a in human-robot interaction, I will present the much finer level, and humans are very good at research platforms that we have developed at KTH: switching turns with very short gaps (around 200 ms) the robot head Furhat and the interaction framework and little overlap. Humans also give precisely timed IrisTK. I will also present two different application feedback in the middle of the interlocutor's speech in scenarios that we have developed, which pose different the form of very short utterances (so-called types of challenges when it comes to modeling backchannels, such as "mhm") or head nods. Another turn-taking, feedback, and joint attention in humanrobot notable property of everyday human interaction is interaction.

Traditional multimodal journey planners are deterministic. Intuitively, a more reliable transport network allows reaching the destination in time. Connection points, which are inherent in multimodal trips, make a journey more prone to delays because of potential missed connections. Traditional multimodal journey planners compute deterministic, sequential plans, implicitly assuming that the input data is accurate. However, in real life, a multimodal transport network can feature many types of uncertainty.
