Tinder is testing a new location-sharing feature to connect lonely hearts. Dubbed Places, the tool aims to match users who are in the same specific location, like the cinema, or local coffee shop. Places is completely separate from the usual swipe-based feed Tinder users are accustomed to. Tinder users need to tap the newly-added pin icon, which lives at the top of the main app window, to access a map which shows all the locations you have visited within the last month. Tinder Places lets users view potential matches who have visited the same locations.

At least half of the world's population cannot obtain essential health services. But low-cost, easy-to-use technologies powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) promise to deliver quality and affordable health care to the people who need it most, no matter how hard to reach. At the AI for Good Global Summit last week, entrepreneurs, AI experts, academics and UN representatives described many AI technologies for health, allowing for the early detection of various pathologies such as osteoarthritis, diabetic retinopathy, child malnutrition, snakebites and others. These technologies don't place a heavy burden on doctors, and can lead to prompt diagnosis and effective treatment. They agreed that AI can add tremendous value in developing countries where there is a low density of physicians.

One of the hardest parts of dating has always been getting up the nerve to hit on someone you see often, but don't know--like the guy on the other side of the bar. Tinder says it might soon have a fix for that specific issue: The dating app is testing a new feature aimed at connecting people who like to hang out in the same bars, restaurants, and other public places. The new product, aptly named "Places," will begin testing in cities in Australia and Chile today. The announcement comes a month after Facebook announced it too was testing a new dating product, which will allow users to connect with people who attend the same events. The move feels like a marked change for Tinder, which has been best-known for facilitating hookups since it launched in 2012.

From the sprawling open world Western Red Dead Redemption 2, to the co-op dinosaur hunting Monster Hunter World; from major remakes like Shadow of the Colossus to brand new IPs like Days Gone; from charming JRPGs like Ni No Kuni II, to terrifying horror games like Agony, 2018 is shaping up to be an incredible year for games and gamers. The following list is long but not exhaustive. It doesn't cover games that haven't been announced (like the inevitable Call of Duty from Treyarch) or that don't have titles yet (like the Fire Emblem game coming to Switch.) I've also left mobile games out almost entirely. These probably deserve their own list. Likewise, PC games release in such abundance (thousands on Steam each month!) that many indie PC titles have been left out. If I've missed anything you think ought to be included, please let me know on Twitter or Facebook. Now, without further ado, let's get to the games. The first proper fighting game in the Dragon Ball Z series, Dragon Ball FighterZ brings 3 vs 3 matches similar to Marvel vs Capcom with the ability to swap out characters during a fight. The first current-gen Monster Hunter entry, this also marks the series' biggest world wide release. The franchise is much more popular in Japan, but hopefully break into the West with Monster Hunter World's giant, seamless environments and online co-op. Whether or not you played the original Shadow of the Colossus, this remake (not remaster) looks absolutely gorgeous.

Nielsen-owned Gracenote has announced the launch of an artificial intelligence service called Sonic Style that will sort massive catalogs of music by style for the first time ever. Sonic Style will classify 90 million songs not by the genre of music the artist is known for, but rather the actual style of each individual recording. Music has typically categorized by artist genres, such as rock or hip hop. However, artist genres alone do not always tell the full story of an artist's full catalog or career. Gracenote has developed nearly 450 Sonic Style descriptor values.

In the 21st century the world still faces many geographical challenges including climate change, disease outbreaks, natural disasters and a growing scarcity of vital resources such as water, food and land. Overcoming these problems is dependent on our ability to chart these issues and analyse them spatially. This comes at a time when we're increasingly able to produce millions of data points from connected devices – the internet of things (IoT) – such as mobiles, drones, satellites, vehicles and social media, combined with more affordable, powerful cloud computing and machine-learning. Technologists realise the potential for smart mapping has never been greater. "If you think about it, there isn't an area that isn't touched by location, from responses to hurricanes and typhoons, wars, international health scares or utility outages," explains Stuart Bonthrone, managing director of Esri UK, a world leader in mapping and spatial analytics software.

Articles about technology and the future of transportation rarely used to get far without mentioning jetpacks: a staple of science fiction from the 1920s onwards, the jetpack became a reality in the 1960s in the shape of devices such as the Bell Rocket Belt. But despite many similar efforts, the skies over our cities remain stubbornly free of jetpack-toting commuters. For a novel form of transport to make a material difference to our lives, several key requirements must be satisfied. Obviously the new technology must work safely, and operate within an appropriate regulatory framework. But public acceptance and solid business models are also vital if a new idea is to move from R&D lab to testbed to early adoption, and eventually into mainstream usage.

This work formalizes the new framework for anomaly detection, called active anomaly detection. This framework has, in practice, the same cost of unsupervised anomaly detection but with the possibility of much better results. We show that unsupervised anomaly detection is an undecidable problem and that a prior needs to be assumed for the anomalies probability distribution in order to have performance guarantees. Finally, we also present a new layer that can be attached to any deep learning model designed for unsupervised anomaly detection to transform it into an active anomaly detection method, presenting results on both synthetic and real anomaly detection datasets.

A Spanish galleon laden with treasures worth £12.6 billion ($17 billion) that sank to the bottom of the Caribbean 300 years ago was found using an autonomous robot, researchers have revealed. The San Jose, sunk by the Royal Navy, gained a reputation as the'holy grail' of shipwrecks and was carrying one of the most valuable hauls of treasure ever lost at sea. The 62-gun, three-masted galleon, went down on June 8, 1708, with 600 people on board as well as a treasure of gold, silver and emeralds during a battle with British ships in the War of Spanish Succession. The San Jose was located by an underwater autonomous vehicle operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) back in 2015. The institution said it was keeping its involvement in the discovery quiet out of respect for the Colombian government.

San Jose, which was considered the "holy grail of shipwrecks," was located with the help of an underwater autonomous vehicle An autonomous vehicle was used in 2015 to locate a Spanish galleon that sunk 300 years ago off the coast of Colombia with $17 billion in treasure, the research team that helped in the discovery said on Monday. The San Jose, which was considered the "holy grail of shipwrecks," was located with the help of an underwater autonomous vehicle operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The institution said it was holding the discovery under wraps out of respect for the Colombian government. REMUS 6000 being deployed off the Colombian Navy research ship ARC Malpelo. The treasure--which includes of gold, silver and emeralds-- has been the subject of legal battles between several nations as well as private companies. Several weeks ago, UNESCO, the United Nations cultural agency, called on Colombia not to commercially exploit the wreck, whose exact location remains a state secret.
