Users expect to see that friendly search box in their applications. They seem to really like it, because it's so simple to use. You don't need a user manual to figure out search. In fact, if your application doesn't have search, you'll be pelted with negative reviews. No wonder you see search in so many applications. It's very difficult to implement. We all know it's more than just simple text matching. Those of us with database backgrounds know that searching for "prefix*" is a lot easier than searching for "*suffix". And users want to do all sorts of weird searches like "*run*", which should match ran, or shrunken or brunt, or--you get the idea. Quick search results and performance are important, as is accuracy and ranking.

A robot that resembles a pigeon and can make tight turns like real birds may point to the future of aerospace engineering – a continuously morphing wing. Understanding exactly how birds fly has always been tricky, because individual wings are made up of multiple feathers. These feathers are always interacting with each other, allowing the bird's wings to morph continuously mid-flight. To learn more, David Lentink at Stanford University in California and his colleagues first looked at the wing of a pigeon cadaver. Each wing had 40 feathers, 20 on the upper side, and 20 on the lower.

Most insurance companies depend on human expertise and business rules-based software to protect themselves from fraud. And the drive for digital transformation and process automation means data and scenarios change faster than you can update the rules. Machine learning has the potential to allow insurers to move from the current state of "detect and react" to "predict and prevent." It excels at automating the process of taking large volumes of data, analysing multiple fraud indicators in parallel – which taken individually may often be quite normal – and finding potential fraud. Generally, there are two ways to teach or train a machine learning algorithm, which depend on the available data: supervised and unsupervised learning.

How do you test an application which constantly listens to the customers, learns their behaviour and create personalised engagements based out of learnings!! Today data plays a vital role in every decision making and hence making sense of the data to derive useful insights for our customers is a key for success. Sentiment Analysis is the process of classifying the data into positive, negative or neutral implemented using natural language processing (NLP) and Machine Learning techniques that helps in analysing the data to gauge public opinion, market research, monitor brand and product reputation, and understand customer experiences and is mostly offered as Sentiment Analysis as-a-Service . In this talk we will discuss the Challenges are around analysing, explicit and implict opinions, sarcasm, comparative opinions, Multilingual, Emojis, defination on neutral to just name a few and the strategies to test such applications with a use case on Airlines Sentiment (trained with tweets about airlines to identify between positive, neutral, and negative tweets).

Once the three-billion-letter-long human genome was sequenced, we rushed into a new "omics" era of biological research. Scientists are now racing to sequence the genomes (all the genes) or proteomes (all the proteins) of various organisms – and in the process are compiling massive amounts of data. For instance, a scientist can use "omics" tools such as DNA sequencing to tease out which human genes are affected in a viral flu infection. But because the human genome has at least 25,000 genes in total, the number of genes altered even under such a simple scenario could potentially be in the thousands. Although sequencing and identifying genes and proteins gives them a name and a place, it doesn't tell us what they do.

No one really knows how this year will unfold but it's fair to say that most of the trends of 2019 - digital transformation, consolidation and an increased movement towards AI - will continue. To try and get a sense of what some of those operating in the channel expect we pooled together some of the predictions that have been made about the 12 months ahead. The firm has enjoyed channel growth in the last year with the launch of its "with Veeam" programme and the addition of hybrid cloud partners coming on board. The vendor is predicting more opportunities for partners thanks to the ongoing needs of customers. "Organisations of all kinds are now considering cloud services. It's no surprise as the efficiency, scalability and cost savings can be extremely compelling. But it's one thing for customers to be aware, but another thing to have an understanding of what solution is the best fit for them. We're focused on helping our customers understand the need to make sure their Cloud Data Management strategy can handle all parts of the deployment they might be using. It's only then that the cost benefits of moving to the cloud can be fully experienced," said Alex Walsh, manager of channels UK&I at Veeam.

When people create, it's not very often they achieve what they're looking for on the first try. Creating--whether it be a painting, a paper, or a machine learning model--is a process that has a starting point from which new elements and ideas are added and old ones are modified and discarded, sometimes again and again, until the work accomplishes its intended purpose: to evoke emotion, to convey a message, to complete a task. Since I began my work as a researcher, machine learning systems have gotten really good at a particular form of creation that has caught my attention: image generation. Looking at some of the images generated by systems such as BigGAN and ProGAN, you wouldn't be able to tell they were produced by a computer. In these advancements, my colleagues and I see an opportunity to help people create visuals and better express themselves through the medium--from improving the user experience when it comes to designing avatars in the gaming world to making the editing of personal photos and production of digital art in software like Photoshop, which can be challenging to those unfamiliar with such programs' capabilities, easier.

"Slaughterbots" directed by Stewart Sugg In a dystopian world a new form of A.I. weaponry has been created. All these drone bots need is a profile: age, sex, fitness, uniform, and ethnicity. Take out your entire enemy virtually risk free. Just characterize him, release the swarm, and rest easy. The 7 minute film opens with a Silicon Valley CEO-type delivering a product presentation to a live audience a la Steve Jobs.
