Source Code Classification Using Deep Learning - AYLIEN

#artificialintelligence

Programming languages are the primary tool of the software development industry. Since the 1940's hundreds of them have been created and a huge amount of new lines of code in diverse programming languages are written and pushed to active repositories every day. We believe that a source code classifier that can identify the programming language that a piece of code is written in would be a very useful tool for automatic syntax highlighting and label suggestion on platforms, such as StackOverflow and technical wikis. This inspired us to train a model for classifying code snippets based on their language, leveraging recent AI techniques for text classification. We collected hundreds of thousands of source code files from GitHub repositories using the GitHub API.


Canada is North America's up-and-coming startup center

#artificialintelligence

Canada, with nine percent of the world's forests, is a land of plenty. As well as an enviable array of natural resources, Canada also boasts incredible support for entrepreneurs, both homegrown and international. Many household names, such as Slack, Hootsuite and Shopify -- which may be mistakenly considered as U.S. products -- hail from north of the border. This proves Canada is capable of delivering on startup success. And it's no surprise that startups excel in the country. Sure, there is less access to VC funding and the persuasive call of Canada's southern neighbor, but the Canadian government is working hard to build and keep successful startup ecosystems. There is a huge selection of government aid available to small businesses, some of which includes grants that don't have to be paid back.


WhatsApp down: Messaging app not working as people unable to chat with friends

The Independent - Tech

People are unable to send or receive chats or even load up conversations, according to users. And there doesn't seem to be any easy way of fixing the issue, which is affecting many of its users and is likely a problem with its servers. Problems with the app surged over the last hour, according to the website Down Detector. Those problems were particularly focused in western Europe, the East Coast of the US and South America, according to the same website. But that may simply be a result of timezones, and the problems could be happening elsewhere.


Surveillance tech using AI tapped for Tokyo 2020 security detail

The Japan Times

When the Tokyo Marathon was held on Feb. 26, major security firm Secom Co. lifted a balloon equipped with cameras from a building near the finish line in front of JR Tokyo Station and deployed vehicles equipped with a radar system that can detect drones. The building stands at 35 meters, and the balloon, connected with a wire from the roof, was equipped with two kinds of cameras, one with a zoom lens and another showing thermal images, according to Secom adviser Tsuneo Komatsuzaki. In addition, the firm deployed vehicles equipped with radars to detect drones, as well as cameras worn by security guards and stationary cameras to monitor the entire area. "We identify suspicious individuals and predict how the crowd moves next, helping us to prevent an accident," Komatsuzaki said. Public and private entities are beefing up surveillance to combat terrorism amid the ongoing debate in the Diet over a conspiracy bill to punish people for just planning to conduct serious crimes.


Releasing the World's Largest Street-level Imagery Dataset for Teaching Machines to See

#artificialintelligence

Today we present the Mapillary Vistas Dataset--the world's largest and most diverse publicly available, pixel-accurately and instance-specifically annotated street-level imagery dataset for empowering autonomous mobility and transport at the global scale. Since we started our expedition to collaboratively visualize the world with street-level images, we have collected more than 130 million images from places all around the globe. While this number keeps growing at a frantic pace, we are putting serious efforts into researching, implementing, publishing, and releasing smarter computer vision models that can help us understand the semantics within this data. As stated in an earlier blog post, we keep advancing supervised deep learning models as our primary workhorses to extract information that is valuable to our community and improve our products. However, such models are inherently hungry for data--and in particular for a lot of precisely annotated data.

This is a sample of the data science projects I have been working on my own. The Zika Project, is an extensive analysis of microcephaly cases related to Zika in Brazil. This case study tries to explain how weather conditions from January 2015 to May 2016, projected 2015 and 2016 total population of men and women within a reproductive age (15- 44), prevalence of microcephaly cases, growth rate of microcephaly, and sanitation and demographic characteristics of the 27 Brazilian states have influenced the increase of microcephaly confirmed reported cases linked to zika from February 2016 to May 2016. To describe and report variables/features with greater emphasis on microcephaly, the study uses linear regression, lasso and ridge regression, regression trees, random forest regression and gradient boosting regressor. This is analysis unveils what factors other than elevation and runners split's strategy are better predictors of finishing within the top 15 male and female runners of the 2016 Boston Marathon In this short analysis explains, I used a expanded version of the mincer equation and find that marital status, gender, student's province of residence and country where student pursued his/her postgraduate studies are complementary features to explain the return of income/investement.


Singularity University sets up Singapore chapter to solve global problems with AI

#artificialintelligence

Singapore has been hailed as one of the smartest cities in Asia. SINGAPORE has been getting a lot of positive press lately. In the last month alone, General Electric announced the opening of a high-tech service center in the city-state, while Proctor & Gamble launched a new digital innovation hub. While the tiny island nation has long been used by MNCs as a launchpad for Asia, it's clear Singapore has become the innovation cluster in the region to watch. The latest news from Tech in Asia confirms this, as Singularity University (SU) has officially launched a Singapore chapter last week.


5 important stories that have (almost) nothing to do with politics

PBS NewsHour

Atlanta Braves coaches and players wearing the No. 42 in honor of Jackie Robinson stand during the national anthem before a game against the San Diego Padres at SunTrust Park. If you ask the media, who took the informal marker of the presidency as an opportunity to dive into Donald Trump's early record in office, it was a lot of talk and international outreach, but not much movement on the domestic issues -- like healthcare and tax reform -- that made him popular as a candidate. If you ask budget chief Mick Mulvaney, as NewsHour's Judy Woodruff did on air last week, the first hundred days was spent undoing damage from the previous administration. As for the chief: The presidency is harder than he thought, he told Reuters. No matter how you feel about the administration's first three-and-a-half months in the Oval, here are five important stories overlooked in the 100-day fanfare that are still worth your attention.
