Knowledge Graphs on the Web -- an Overview

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Knowledge Graphs are an emerging form of knowledge representation. While Google coined the term Knowledge Graph first and promoted it as a means to improve their search results, they are used in many applications today. In a knowledge graph, entities in the real world and/or a business domain (e.g., people, places, or events) are represented as nodes, which are connected by edges representing the relations between those entities. While companies such as Google, Microsoft, and Facebook have their own, non-public knowledge graphs, there is also a larger body of publicly available knowledge graphs, such as DBpedia or Wikidata. In this chapter, we provide an overview and comparison of those publicly available knowledge graphs, and give insights into their contents, size, coverage, and overlap.


Google Assistant to read web pages aloud on some devices

USATODAY - Tech Top Stories

"Hey Google, read this page." That's a new command for the Google Assistant that will see the robot reading web pages aloud. Use cases: catching on news that doesn't have a podcast component while driving, having pages translated to you in other languages (say if you're traveling) or just general help for people who are vision-impaired. Fine print: The feature is only available, starting today, on Google's Android smartphone platform. Whenever a web article is displayed on your browser in your Android phone, you can say, "Hey Google, read it" or "Hey Google, read this page" it will immediately read aloud the content of the web page," says Yossi Matias, a Google vice-president. "And to help people follow along at a convenient pace without having to touch the screen, your browser will highlight the words being read out and auto-scroll the page.


Tinder tells users coronavirus safety is 'more important' than dating

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Tinder has posted a warning for its users telling them that coronavirus safety is'more important' than dating and urging them to wash their hands frequently. The dating app also encourages its singletons to carry hand sanitiser, avoid touching their face and'maintain social distance' when out in public. The warning says: 'Tinder is a great place to meet new people. While we want you to continue to have fun, protecting yourself from the coronavirus is more important'. It appears as a pop up while users are flipping between potential matches to warn of the dangers of the potentially deadly virus now called COVID-19. The pop-up warning also includes a link to the latest advice and information from the World Health Organisation (WHO) website.


PlayStation 2 at 20: the console that revealed the future of gaming

The Guardian

It has to be said, the launch titles were not great. When the PlayStation 2 arrived in Japan on 4 March 2000, the first games early purchasers got to take home with them included a mahjong sim and a digital train set. The big-name titles, Street Fighter EX3 and Ridge Racer 5, were formulaic entries in tired legacy franchises. Meanwhile, Sega's Dreamcast machine, released a year earlier, was hosting innovative hits such as Shenmue, Crazy Taxi and Power Stone. Had Sony stumbled after its hugely successful and highly disruptive original PlayStation?


How Computer Modeling Of COVID-19's Spread Could Help Fight The Virus

NPR Technology

Viral particles are colorized purple in this color-enhanced transmission electron micrograph from a COVID-19 patient in the United States. Computer modeling can help epidemiologists predict how and where the illness will move next.

Computer modeling can help epidemiologists predict how and where the illness will move next. Scientists who use math and computers to simulate the course of epidemics are taking on the new coronavirus to try to predict how this global outbreak might evolve and how best to tackle it.


Rise of Robot Radiologists

#artificialintelligence

When Regina Barzilay had a routine mammogram in her early 40s, the image showed a complex array of white splotches in her breast tissue. The marks could be normal, or they could be cancerous--even the best radiologists often struggle to tell the difference. Her doctors decided the spots were not immediately worrisome. In hindsight, she says, "I already had cancer, and they didn't see it." Over the next two years Barzilay underwent a second mammogram, a breast MRI and a biopsy, all of which continued to yield ambiguous or conflicting findings. Ultimately she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014, but the path to that diagnosis had been unbelievably frustrating. "How do you do three tests and get three different results?" she wondered.

The AI and Machine Learning Trends to Watch Out for in 2020

#artificialintelligence

Machine learning is gaining popularity as a career choice among the young students of computer science and other quantitative fields. And of course, the study of machine learning does open up a few ways into the AI industry which is already quite big in spite of being at a nascent stage at best. It is time to gauge what the new year holds for us as far as these disruptive technologies are concerned. Machine learning adoption is at an all time high The concept of machine learning is pretty old. We can trace it back to the bloody days of the second world war where the legendary Alan Turing applied machine learning to break an impenetrable German code and ended up winning the war for England.


CB Insights: The majority of promising AI startups are US-based

#artificialintelligence

A new report from CB Insights suggests the majority of promising AI startups are still based in the US. Despite increasing AI investments around the world, 65 percent of the top 100 AI startups were located in the US. However, some of the companies also had headquarters in other countries. It's little surprise to see the most promising AI companies based in the world's largest economy, but some of the others are more surprising. The UK and Canada were in joint second place as homes of the most promising AI startups, while China just slipped into third.


Job Postings
