I'm currently looking at computer science degrees (in the UK), and have found myself particularly drawn to computer science and artificial intelligence courses, any books you'd recommend to read to help me gauge if this is something I'd like to spend the next few years studying?

As a data scientist and ex-statistician, I violate these rules (especially #1 - #3) almost daily. Indeed, that's part of what makes data science different from statistical science. Some theoretical research should be performed about the maximum yield obtainable with non-kosher estimates. This article compares model-free confidence intervals with classic ones. The difference is very small even when the number of observations is as low as 50.

WIRED Health 2016 takes place on 29 April in London. IBM's Watson supercomputer is perhaps best known for winning the gameshow Jeopardy, but its expertise is now being applied to healthcare Kyu Rhee will be speaking at WIRED Health 2016 on 29 April in London. From helping humans live longer to understanding the brain, WIRED Health will hear from the innovators transforming this critical sector. You might know IBM's Watson best for its victory on US game show Jeopardy!, or perhaps for its cookery prowess, or even the campaign to elect it to the US presidency. But IBM hopes that its supercomputer can also change the way doctors diagnose their patients, putting vast quantities of data at a physician's fingertips.

There's already plenty of angst out there about the prospect of jobs lost to artificial intelligence, but this week, artists got a fresh reason to be concerned. A new "Rembrandt" painting unveiled in Amsterdam is not the work of the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn at all, but rather the creation of a combination of technologies including facial recognition, AI, and 3D printing. Essentially, a deep-learning algorithm was trained on Rembrandt's 346 known paintings and then asked to produce a brand-new one replicating the artist's subject matter and style. Dubbed "The Next Rembrandt," the result is a portrait of a caucasian male, and it looks uncannily like the real thing. One particularly interesting detail about The Next Rembrandt project, which was a collaboration among several organizations including Dutch bank ING and Microsoft, is how the algorithm chose the subject for its painting, since it had to be entirely new.

The Japanese automaker already has a research lab in the Silicon Valley technology hub of Palo Alto, where it works with Stanford University, and another in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where it collaborates with MIT. Its new facility near the University of Michigan will have a staff of about 50 employees. The world's top-selling automaker announced in November that it would invest 1 billion in research and development over the next five years in artificial intelligence technologies, which are critical to the computer brains of self-driving cars. Toyota's investment in R&D comes as competition in the fast-moving field of autonomous vehicles expands beyond carmakers in Asia, Europe and the United States to non-traditional sources such as Alphabet's Google and Apple. The new Ann Arbor facility will focus primarily on fully autonomous driving, in which the car takes full control, the company said.

Nasa has announced that it has found evidence of flowing water on Mars. Scientists have long speculated that Recurring Slope Lineae -- or dark patches -- on Mars were made up of briny water but the new findings prove that those patches are caused by liquid water, which it has established by finding hydrated salts. Several hundred camped outside the London store in Covent Garden. The 6s will have new features like a vastly improved camera and a pressure-sensitive "3D Touch" display

This week in Amsterdam, a team of computer scientists and Rembrandt experts unveiled a new portrait that looks alarmingly similar to the work of the famed Dutch artist. The portrait of a man wearing a broad hat is the latest example of how advanced computer methods are making it increasingly easy to mimic the style of history's most acclaimed artists. Art that hangs in museums, sells for millions and that has endured for generations is being emulated by computer wizards without the pedigree of Rembrandt and kin. When lined up against Rembrandt's work, it can be difficult to tell which portrait a machine created and which the Dutch painter created roughly 400 years ago. The creators of the "new Rembrandt" used computers to 3D scan and analyze 346 Rembrandt paintings.

It is almost an impossible choice - deciding whether to sacrifice the life of one innocent person to save the lives of five others. But scientists have discovered that the choice you make in this scenario could have a drastic impact on how trustworthy people think you are. The findings may help to explain why humans are often drawn to moral choices that do not benefit the greater good, such as refusing to make such sacrifices. Psychologists have explored why humans seen to be drawn to making'illogical' moral choices, like sacrificing the lives of many to save the life of one person, depicted in Saving Private Ryan (pictured). It suggests there may be certain rules about morality hardwired into human nature due to our evolution as a social species. Jim Everett, a psychologist at the University of Oxford who led the work, said such rule-based decisions - known as deontological morality which focuses on ideas of right and wrong – may have served to increase group cohesion in the past by helping people trust each other.
