Impact of ImageNet Model Selection on Domain Adaptation

#artificialintelligence

Content provided by Youshan Zhang, the first author of the paper Impact of ImageNet Model Selection on Domain Adaptation. It is known that training and updating of the machine learning model depend on data annotation. We often have a serious problem that lacks labeled data for training in the real world. Therefore, it is often necessary to transfer knowledge from an existing labeled domain to an unlabeled new domain. However, due to the phenomenon of data bias or domain shift, machine learning models do not generalize well from an existing domain to a novel unlabeled domain. Domain adaptation has been a promising method to mitigate the domain shift problem.


Creativity during trying times

#artificialintelligence

BEIJING: Wang Jiayi, a 31-year-old fashion magazine editor living in Tongzhou district of Beijing, is relying on a vending machine powered by artificial intelligence (AI) at her residential compound to supply her with fresh fruit, vegetables and other necessities. "I select products displayed on the transparent door of the machine and use my mobile to scan a quick response code. Once it is scanned, the door opens and payment is processed automatically after I make my selection and close the door, " Wang said. The entire process is convenient and requires no human-to-human contact, she added. The AI vending machines by e-commerce giant JD's logistics innovation laboratory, are being rolled out in Beijing, Shanghai and Chongqing due to the rising demand for unmanned shopping experiences amid the Covid-19 outbreak.


Coronavirus: Spain to use artificial intelligence to automate testing

#artificialintelligence

The Spanish government is planning to test 80,000 people a day for coronavirus with the roll-out of robot testers. Technology will be used to speed up testing of people in Spain, one of the countries hardest hit by the Covid-19 outbreak, with more than 200 deaths so far. According to Bloomberg, Spanish authorities now plan to increase daily testing from about 20,000 a day to 80,000, by using four robots to apply artificial intelligence (AI) to testing. Speaking at a conference on Saturday 21 March, Raquel Yotti, head of Madrid's health institute, said: "A plan to automate tests through robots has already been designed and Spain has committed to buying four robots that will allow us to execute 80,000 tests per day." Because of the ease that coronavirus spreads from person to person, testing has been identified as one of the best ways to control the disease.


Artificial Intelligence at Progressive – Snapshot and Flo Chatbot Emerj

#artificialintelligence

Progressive is one of the largest auto insurers in the US. The company has been experimenting with AI since the middle of the 2010s, with customer-facing applications that update insurance premiums based on driving habits and answer questions in a chat window. In this article, we discuss both of these AI use-cases. Emerj's AI Opportunity Landscape research in insurance shows that Progressive's Snapshot program follows a trend in which auto insurers use predictive analytics applications to determine how risky a customer or insurance applicant is: Approximately 21.6% of AI products in insurance are applications of this type. In contrast, although several of the largest insurance companies in the US have experimented with chatbots, the insurance industry hasn't prioritized chatbots the way the retail industry has, as chatbots make up only 8% of the AI products in insurance.

Deep-learning system detects human presence by harvesting RF signals

#artificialintelligence

Researchers at Syracuse University in New York have recently developed a system that can detect the presence of humans in a given environment by analyzing ambient radio frequency (RF) signals. This new system, presented in a paper pre-published on arXiv, employs a convolutional neural network (CNN) trained on a vast amount of RF data. "Initially, we tried to detect drones in an outdoor environment using passive RF signals through deep learning," Biao Chen, one of the researchers who carried out the study, told TechXplore. "The result was uneven at best--it worked on measurements collected on certain days, but would fail on other days." For some time, Chen and his colleagues tried to develop a system that could sense the presence of drones in outdoor environments.


Researchers in Israel create survey with AI to analyse the spread of COVID-19

#artificialintelligence

Researchers in Israel have developed a questionnaire with AI that will help them detect which parts of the country coronavirus is going to spread in. The survey collects the user's demographic data, information on symptoms, existing health issues and isolation status. It then displays the information on a map indicating the pattern in which the virus is spreading.


Red Hat Accelerates AI/ML Workflows and Delivery of AI-Powered Intelligent Applications with Red Hat OpenShift

#artificialintelligence

Red Hat, Inc., the world's leading provider of open source solutions, today highlighted that more organizations are using Red Hat OpenShift as the foundation for building artificial intelligence (AI) and machine-learning (ML) data science workflows and AI-powered intelligent applications. OpenShift helps to provide agility, flexibility, portability and scalability across the hybrid cloud, from cloud infrastructure to edge computing deployments, a necessity for developing and deploying ML models and intelligent applications into production more quickly and without vendor lock-in. AI/ML represents a top emerging workload for Red Hat OpenShift across hybrid cloud and multicloud deployments for both our customers and for our partners supporting these global organizations. By applying DevOps to AI/ML on the industry's most comprehensive enterprise Kubernetes platform, IT organizations want to pair the agility and flexibility of industry best practices with the promise and power of intelligent workloads. As a production-proven enterprise container and Kubernetes platform, OpenShift delivers integrated DevOps capabilities for independent software vendors (ISVs) via Kubernetes Operators and NVIDIA GPU-powered infrastructure platforms.
