What's State Of The Art In AutoML in 2019?

#artificialintelligence

More and more industries and organizations are leveraging artificial intelligence to delight customers and cut through the competition. However, development and deployment of deep learning models is time-consuming and costly – often prohibitively costly. That's when automated machine learning (AutoML) comes into play. AutoML solutions can significantly increase the efficiency of ML model development. Even more importantly, they lower the entry barriers for leveraging AI in business settings by allowing people without IT backgrounds to utilize the most advanced ML algorithms.

Jim Goodnight, the 'Godfather of A.I.,' predicts the future fate of the US workforce

#artificialintelligence

Every technology revolution has a unique inflection point. The spark that ignited the artificial intelligence movement was a statistical data analysis system developed by Jim Goodnight when he was a statistics professor at North Carolina State University 45 years ago. He never imagined that the technology he created to improve crop yields would evolve into sophisticated data analytics software, a precursor to modern day AI. Back then computers could only compute 300 instructions a second and had 8K of memory. Today they can execute 3 billion instructions a second and contain multiple terabytes of memory.


Travelers, data analytics firm partner on AI capabilities - Business Insurance

#artificialintelligence

Travelers Cos. Inc. on Wednesday said it is partnering with Groundspeed Analytics Inc. on the use of artificial intelligence to streamline processes for new business and policy renewal. Travelers will be using Groundspeed's technology for commercial insurance policies, with a focus on complex submissions for the middle market, a spokeswoman for the insurer said in an email. The collaboration will apply to property/casualty lines, she said. The companies also will collaborate on the design of additional artificial intelligence capabilities, Travelers said in a statement. Their use of AI aims to help with risk selection and to allow agents and brokers to write business more quickly, the statement said.

Honeywell creates robotics hub - Supply Professional

#artificialintelligence

CHARLOTTE, NC--Honeywell has created Honeywell Robotics, a technology centre of excellence focused on innovating and developing artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision and advanced robotics for use across supply chains. Based in Pittsburgh, the company says Honeywell Robotics will help shape the warehouse and distribution centre of the future, particularly as companies look to automated solutions, software and robotics to deliver increased speed, accuracy and throughput in complex material handling environments. The centre will be led by Joseph Lui, a robotics expert specializing in digital data, autonomous technologies and the industrial Internet of Things. He previously served as director of industrial IoT and automation technologies, robotics for Amazon. Establishing the centre is the continuation of Honeywell's technology transformation, putting investment in partnerships with software vendors, universities, startups and incubators to create new solutions for industrial customers with both simple and complex needs.


Worker robots that learn from mistakes

#artificialintelligence

Computer scientists at the University of Leeds are using the artificial intelligence (AI) techniques of automated planning and reinforcement learning to "train" a robot to find an object in a cluttered space, such as a warehouse shelf or in a fridge -- and move it. The aim is to develop robotic autonomy, so the machine can assess the unique circumstances presented in a task and find a solution -- akin to a robot transferring skills and knowledge to a new problem. The Leeds researchers are presenting their findings today (Monday, November 4) at the International Conference on Intelligent Robotics and Systems in Macau, China. The big challenge is that in a confined area, a robotic arm may not be able to grasp an object from above. Instead it has to plan a sequence of moves to reach the target object, perhaps by manipulating other items out of the way.



governance model for the application of AI in health care

#artificialintelligence

As the efficacy of artificial intelligence (AI) in improving aspects of healthcare delivery is increasingly becoming evident, it becomes likely that AI will be incorporated in routine clinical care in the near future. This promise has led to growing focus and investment in AI medical applications both from governmental organizations and technological companies. However, concern has been expressed about the ethical and regulatory aspects of the application of AI in health care. These concerns include the possibility of biases, lack of transparency with certain AI algorithms, privacy concerns with the data used for training AI models, and safety and liability issues with AI application in clinical environments. While there has been extensive discussion about the ethics of AI in health care, there has been little dialogue or recommendations as to how to practically address these concerns in health care. In this article, we propose a governance model that aims to not only address the ethical and regulatory issues that arise out of the application of AI in health care, but also stimulate further discussion about governance of AI in health care. Interest in AI has gone through cyclical phases of expectation and disappointment since the late 1950s because of poor-performing algorithms and computing infrastructure.1 However, the emergence of appropriate computing infrastructure, big data, and deep learning algorithms has reinvigorated interest in artificial intelligence (AI) technology and accelerated its adoption in various sectors.2 While recent approaches to AI, such as machine learning, have only been relatively recently applied to health care, the future looks promising because of the likelihood of improved healthcare outcomes.3,4


Israeli AI Startup Backed by Microsoft Linked to Surveillance of Palestinians - FindBiometrics

#artificialintelligence

An Israeli artificial intelligence startup with investments from a number of American companies including Microsoft has been linked to the biometric surveillance of Palestinians. AnyVision is an international tech company based in Israel that raised $78 million in June from an investment group including American tech giant Microsoft. One of their flagship products -- dubbed'Better Tomorrow' -- is a platform that leverages biometrics and facial recognition software to track objects and people on live video, including across independent camera feeds. NBC and Israeli news site Haaretz report that this technology is at the centre of a military surveillance operation focused in the West Bank at "at least 27 checkpoints", according to a statement from the Israeli Defence Forces from February. The aim of the operation is to "upgrade the crossings" and "deter terror attacks" using a network of 1,700 cameras featuring biometric and facial recognition capabilities.
