The persistent humanity in AI and cybersecurity

#artificialintelligence

Even as AI technology transforms some aspects of cybersecurity, the intersection of the two remains profoundly human. Although it's perhaps counterintuitive, humans are front and center in all parts of the cybersecurity triad: the bad actors who seek to do harm, the gullible soft targets, and the good actors who fight back. Even without the looming specter of AI, the cybersecurity battlefield is often opaque to average users and the technologically savvy alike. Adding a layer of AI, which comprises numerous technologies that can also feel unexplainable to most people, may seem doubly intractable -- as well as impersonal. That's because although the cybersecurity fight is sometimes deeply personal, it's rarely waged in person.


Data Mining Primitives or Tasks

#artificialintelligence

The first primitive is the specification of the data on which mining is to be performed. Typically, a user is interested in only a subset of the database. It is impractical to mine the entire database, particularly since the number of patterns generated could be exponential w.r.t the database size. Furthermore, many of the patterns found would be irrelevant to the interests of the user. In a relational database, the set of task-relevant data can be collected via a relational query involving operations like selection, projection, join and aggregation. This retrieval of data can be thought of as a "subtask" of the data mining task. The data collection process results in a new data relational called the initial data relation. The initial data relation can be ordered or grouped according to the conditions specified in the query. The data may be cleaned or transformed (e.g.


How AI is fighting, and could enable, ransomware attacks on cities

#artificialintelligence

Imagine getting to a courthouse and seeing paper signs stuck to the doors with the message "Systems down." What about police officers in the field unable to access information on laptops in their vehicles, or surgeries delayed in hospitals? That's what can happen to a city, police department, or hospital in a ransomware attack. Ransomware is malicious software that can encrypt or control computer systems. Criminals who launch these attacks can then refuse to return access until they get paid.


Going Beyond Exascale Computing

#artificialintelligence

One thing is certain: The explosion of data creation in our society will continue as far as pundits and anyone else can forecast. In response, there is an insatiable demand for more advanced high performance computing to make this data useful. The IT industry has been pushing to new levels of high-end computing performance; this is the dawn of the exascale era of computing. Recent announcements from the US Department of Energy for exascale computers represent the starting point for a new generation of computing advances. This is critical for the advancement of any number of use cases such as understanding the interactions underlying the science of weather, sub-atomic structures, genomics, physics, rapidly emerging artificial intelligence applications, and other important scientific fields.


Let's see how much autonomous cars are expected on the road in 2025

#artificialintelligence

Encouraging many people into electrical conveyance is at the heart of the government's struggle to tackle climate change. Sales of every-electrical conveyance are up 70% on last year, leading to the thought that we have reached a turning point. But there are better causes to remain cagey. One of the UK's popular cars is the every-electrical Tesla Model 3. But its success doesn't alteration the information that just about 1.1% of new cars sold this year are electrical, and that the market for used electrical vehicles barely exists.


South Sudan's Olympians in love with Japanese language -- as well as real track in Gunma

The Japan Times

They are trying to get a head start, and unlike most of the 11,000 athletes who will be in Tokyo for the games, and thousands more for the Paralympics, they will be able to speak Japanese. "Just the language itself, I love it," said Abraham Majok, a runner who arrived in Japan in November with three other South Sudanese athletes and a coach. "And it's nice and since we started learning it. But, you know, we are moving well with it and we just love it." They are training northwest of Tokyo in Maebashi, Gunma Prefecture, supported mainly by donations from the public.


Europe's migration crisis seen from orbit

#artificialintelligence

In images taken from a satellite floating 400 kilometers above the Earth, Europe's humanitarian crisis shows up as white pixels against the blue-green vastness of the Mediterranean. Captured by the sensors in space, small overcrowded boats with migrants leaving Africa headed north look like tiny white comets bursting through the ocean, leaving a tail where they stir waves. "It's not that with every image I look at, I think about how someone could be dying right now," said Elisabeth Wittmann as she clicked through satellite footage on her laptop showing the coast west of the Libyan port of Sabratha. "That's also to protect myself," she added. The 26-year-old computer scientist from southern Germany is one of a dozen researchers who have teamed up with a new NGO called Space-Eye to develop artificial intelligence technology that allows computers to detect migrant boats in satellite images.


Implementation of Decision Trees In Python

#artificialintelligence

In the previous article, we studied Multiple Linear Regression. One thing that I believe is that if we can correlate anything with us or our lives, there are greater chances of understanding the concept. So I will try to explain everything by relating it to humans. A decision tree is a decision support tool that uses a tree-like graph or model of decisions and their possible consequences, including chance event outcomes, resource costs, and utility. It is one way to display an algorithm that only contains conditional control statements.


How AI is stopping the next great flu before it starts

#artificialintelligence

Immune systems across the globe have been working overtime this winter as a devastating flu season has taken hold. More than 180,000 Americans have been hospitalized and 10,000 more have died in recent months, according to the CDC, while the coronavirus (now officially designated COVID-19) has spread across the globe at an alarming rate. Fears of a growing worldwide flu outbreak have even prompted the precautionary cancelling of MWC 2020 -- barely a week before it was slated to open in Barcelona. But in the near future, AI-augmented drug development could help produce vaccines and treatments fast enough to halt the spread of deadly viruses before they mutate into global pandemics. Conventional methods for drug and vaccine development are wildly inefficient.


This AI can perfectly dub videos in Indic languages -- and correct lip syncing

#artificialintelligence

People in India watch a lot of videos on the internet. According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, Indians spend more than 8.5GB of mobile data on average, and most of it on video. Last year, YouTube said more than 95% of content consumption is in regional languages. So naturally, there's a lot of appetite for vernacular videos, but not all creators know all Indic languages. Last week, just after Parasite won the Oscar award, Mother Jones claimed dubbing is superior than translated subtitles.
