#artificialintelligence

Emotion Detection and Recognition market to reach USD 22.65 billion by 2020 This study has been done on a global level broadly covering four regions, namely, North America, Europe, APAC, Middle East and RoW, and the market is projected to grow from USD 5.66 billion in 2015 to USD 22.65 billion by 2020, at a CAGR of 31.9% during the period. The market is being driven by factors such as increased focus on affective computing, business intelligence, and growing amount of spatial data as well as prompt availability of analytical tools. "Law Enforcement, Surveillance, and Monitoring areas are projected to showcase robust growth in the emotion detection and recognition market" The defense and security agencies require emotion detection technology for surveillance and monitoring purposes. Major implementation of this technology has already been done in the areas of military services such as lie detectors and polygraph tests. The emotion detection technology helps in matching the records in real-time and detecting the stress levels of a criminal.

Don't count on technology to save you in a disaster; planning is better: researchers

The Japan Times

BARCELONA, SPAIN – Newfound enthusiasm for the latest technologies, such as drones and smartphones, to improve the way aid is provided to people in disasters may be overblown, experts warn. The annual World Risk Report from the United Nations University (UNU) highlights the growing interest in new technologies to improve emergency response -- from drones that can survey crisis-hit areas to social media networks that allow survivors to communicate with the wider world. These can provide important information to the logisticians who organize aid delivery or health workers trying to track deadly diseases like Ebola in no-go areas, the report said. But Matthiasƒ Garschagen, a risk management expert with the UNU Institute for Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS), said it could not substitute for the basic infrastructure some countries have lacked for decades. "Too many people see technology as the main panacea for solving all the problems you have after disasters strike," he told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

GPUs Reshape Computing

Communications of the ACM

NVidia's Titan X graphics card, featuring the company's Pascal-powered graphics processing unit driven by 3,584 CUDA cores running at 1.5GHz. As researchers continue to push the boundaries of neural networks and deep learning--particularly in speech recognition and natural language processing, image and pattern recognition, text and data analytics, and other complex areas--they are constantly on the lookout for new and better ways to extend and expand computing capabilities. For decades, the gold standard has been high-performance computing (HPC) clusters, which toss huge amounts of processing power at problems--albeit at a prohibitively high cost. This approach has helped fuel advances across a wide swath of fields, including weather forecasting, financial services, and energy exploration. However, in 2012, a new method emerged.


The Edge of the Uncanny

In conversation, mitsuku admits she does not know if her name has any meaning; this is simply what her father called her. Actually, she does not really have a father. She has a Mouse-breaker, which is technically not a person, either, but a team of programmers who like beer and curry and share a fear of Daleks (the evil alien robots from Doctor Who). Mitsuku is quick-witted, occasionally confusing, and strangely engaging. She is also a chatbot, built from the A.L.I.C.E.


Reconciling Quantum Physics with Math

Communications of the ACM

From left, Nikhil Srivastava, Adam Marcus, and Daniel Spielman shortly after completing the proof of the Kadison-Singer problem. A solution to a problem in mathematics that lingered unsolved for more than 50 years could help deliver faster computer algorithms to many problems in physics and signal processing. However, it may take years for mathematicians to fully digest the result, which was first published online three years ago. The roots of the problem defined by Richard Kadison and Isadore Singer in the late 1950s lie in attempts to give the physics of quantum mechanics a footing in abstract mathematics. The concept it deals with traces back to Werner Heisenberg's initial work on quantum mechanics.


Election Auditing and Verifiability

Communications of the ACM

Overall, the inside risks Viewpoint "The Risks of Self-Auditing Systems" by Rebecca T. Mercuri and Peter G. Neumann (June 2016) was excellent, and we applaud its call for auditing systems by independent entities to ensure correctness and trustworthiness. However, with respect to voting, it said, "Some research has been devoted to end-to-end cryptographic verification that would allow voters to demonstrate their choices were correctly recorded and accurately counted. However, this concept (as with Internet voting) enables possibilities of vote buying and selling." While Internet voting (like any remote-voting method) is indeed vulnerable to vote buying and selling, end-to-end verifiable voting is not. Poll-site-based end-to-end verifiable voting systems use cryptographic methods to ensure voters can verify their own votes are correctly recorded and tallied while (paradoxically) not enabling them to demonstrate how they voted to anyone else.
