CAMBRIDGE, United Kingdom: Professor Stephen Hawking on Oct 19 opened a new artificial intelligence research centre at Britain's Cambridge University. Funded by a 10mil (RM51.32mil) Opening the new centre, Hawking said it was not possible to predict what might be achieved with AI. "Perhaps with the tools of this new technological revolution, we will be able to undo some of the damage done to the natural world by the last one – industrialisation. "And surely we will aim to finally eradicate disease and poverty. Every aspect of our lives will be transformed.

In an announcement delayed by three days, Tesla Motors said Wednesday all its vehicles now in production -- including the upcoming Model 3 -- will have hardware that is capable of fully-autonomous driving. According to Tesla, full self-driving capability will provide "a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver." So what does this new full autonomy-capable hardware consist of? First, there are cameras and sensors to collect data. A complete 360-degree vision is provided by eight cameras around the car that have a range of up to 250 meters.

Submission: December 12, 2016 Notification: December 21, 2016 Camera ready: January 9, 2017 Workshop: February 21, 2017 Website: http://www.cs.put.poznan.pl/maltesque/ The aim of the workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss new ideas, trends and results concerning applying ML to software quality evaluation. We expect that the workshop will help in (1) validation of existing and exploring new applications of ML, (2) comparing their efficiency and effectiveness, both among other automated approaches and the human judgement, and (3) adapting ML approaches already used in other areas of science.

The three-foot tall robot with "wide eyes, working fingers, pastel trimming, and a touchscreen tablet on its chest" showed off its babysitting skills at an annual robotics event in San Jose, California, the Guardian reported. The iPal is designed to act like a companion for children: the robot talks to them, answering general-knowledge questions like "Why is the sun hot?," and entertaining them with song, dance, and games, such as rock-paper-scissors. Jiping Wang, founder of Avatar Mind, which created the iPal, told the Guardian that the robot can keep children between the ages of 3 and 8 occupied for "a couple of hours" without adult supervision, touting it as a perfect solution to fill the time between when children return home from school and when parents get back from work. Madeline Duva, an adviser to Avatar Mind, clarified that "it cannot replace a babysitter." But, she said, in cases where you do need to occupy a child for a brief period while you, say, run to the store for some laundry detergent, the iPal is better than devices like the iPad, which are far less interactive than the robot.

Replatforming a business of our size and scale takes time. However, our pace of innovation is accelerating. We're increasingly using structured data and artificial intelligence to transform shopping on eBay, delivering more personalization capabilities, continuing to iterate our mobile experience, and bringing more unique inventory and categories to our customers. We've got more work to do, but I'm confident we're on the right path. Now, let me turn it over to Scott, and he'll provide more details on our Q3 results.

Artificial Intelligence could double the annual economic growth rate in Finalnd and Sweden by 2035, according to a study made by Accenture. By changing the nature of people's work as well as changing the relationship between humans and machines, the labor productivity in Finland and Sweden could increase by 36% and 37% respectively, in Accenture's estimation. The use of Artificial Intelligence would unlock time for workers to focus on other tasks. "Artificial Intelligence Applications can revolutionize the business in ways not seen since the information technology breakthrough. Even now artificial intelligence, cloud computing, advanced analytics, and other technologies impact on the work of people and machines," Tomas Nyström, Accenture's Chief Technology Officer, says in a statement, reports Talous Sanomat.

Thousands of gay and bisexual men convicted of now-abolished sexual offences are to receive posthumous pardons, the government has announced. It will mean formal pardons for those convicted over consensual same-sex relationships before homosexuality was decriminalised in the UK. Justice Minister Sam Gyimah said the move was "hugely important". It honours a government commitment made after World War Two code-breaker Alan Turing was pardoned in 2013. Under the move - dubbed "Turing law" - deceased people who were convicted of sexual acts that are no longer deemed criminal will receive an automatic pardon.

In this work we extend to the interval-valued setting the notion of an overlap functions and we discuss a method which makes use of interval-valued overlap functions for constructing OWA operators with interval-valued weights. . Some properties of intervalvalued overlap functions and the derived interval-valued OWA operators are analysed. We specially focus on the homogeneity and migrativity properties. Keywords Interval-valued fuzzy sets interval-valued overlap functions Interval-valued overlap OWA operators interval weighted vector migrativity homogeneity 1 Introduction Interval-valued fuzzy sets [62] have been succesfully applied in many different problems. Just to mention some of the most recent ones, interval-valued fuzzy sets have been used in decision making(see, e.g., theworksbyKhalilandHassan[36]andChengetal. They have also been the origin of rich theoretical studies, as, for instance, the works by Bedregal et al. [3, 7], Dimuro et al. [28], Reiser et al. [48] and the recent works by Zywica et al. [64] and Takác [55]. From the point of view of applications, interval-valued fuzzy sets are a suitable tool to represent uncertain or incomplete information. In particular, the length of the intervalvalued membership degree of a given element can be understood as a measure of the lack of certainty of the expert for providing an exact membership value to that element [44].
