Robots vs. Babysitters: Is Artificial Intelligence the Hot New Choice for Child Care?

#artificialintelligence

AI-powered baby monitors are not marketed as a babysitter replacement but rather a supplement for working parents. Device-assisted child care is an almost century-old concept. The world's first electronic baby monitor, the Bakelite Zenith Radio Nurse, went on sale in the late 1930s--a response, at least in part, to the moral panic following the kidnapping and subsequent murder of the Lindbergh baby. Thus, using artificial intelligence (AI) to assist or relieve parents entirely of the burdens of nurturing is not an abrupt or unanticipated innovation--many parents already monitor their children remotely using cameras connected to their smartphones, sometimes with unanticipated and extremely creepy results--and, given the cost and difficulty of securing reliable human babysitters, it may also be an easy sell.

RealNetworks reports continued growth from facial recognition in Q3 financial report

#artificialintelligence

Digital media software company RealNetworks has announced significant financial progress in the third quarter financial report, the company says in a press release. RealNetworks had already announced great success for its SAFR biometric facial recognition software in its Q2 2019 report that saw revenues of $44.2 million. According to current figures, the third quarter revenue rose to $45.0 million from just $17.6 million during the same timeframe last year. The SAFR live video artificial intelligence and biometric facial recognition platform was recently integrated with the Nvidia Metropolis Software Partner Program to improve technology deployment in smart city projects. In June, SAFR biometric facial recognition was rolled out in a museum in Europe on MOBOTIX cameras to provide live analytics.


Tackling Trust in Machine Learning and Neural Networks: See It to Believe It

#artificialintelligence

SAN FRANCISCO – Issues of explainability, interpretability, and regulatory compliance all share one thing in common: they contribute to a marked distrust of advanced machine learning and neural networks. Although it's not always easy to understand the various weights and measures that determine the outcomes of these predictive artificial intelligence models, the actions based on their results are usually perfectly clear. By focusing on those actions--such as what decisions models made about options for supply chain management, patient care, or product offers--organizations can not only validate the worth of these techniques, but also develop much needed trust in them. "It's more of a trust issue," admits Geoff Annesley, One Network EVP. "The people that are using [AI platforms], they may be a little cynical when they start out. But what we find is that they quickly start to trust the decisions because they see well, I'm running in parallel here when the decisions are made and it's beating me."


DeepMind's StarCraft Bot Has a 191-Year Head Start on Humanity

#artificialintelligence

DeepMind, Alphabet's A.I. research firm, has built an artificial intelligence system capable of defeating a vast majority of the world's StarCraft II players, according to research published Wednesday in the journal Nature. The DeepMind team debuted AlphaStar, its StarCraft II-playing bot, earlier this year in show matches against top esports professionals. But the new research details secret matches held this July with players who opted into being randomly matched against the program. DeepMind deployed three versions of AlphaStar, which each learned the game in a slightly different way. The first two versions of AlphaStar were good enough to reach the highest tier of play, Grandmaster.


Stemming and Lemmatization in Python with NLTK (natural language processing)

#artificialintelligence

Two other methods to reduce dimensions are stemming and lemmatization. I will use one of the articles in the previous post. First, I create new string called news. After than I split the words to tokens. To see the effect we can compare the first 50 words of the lists.


Neural network reconstructs human thoughts from brain waves in real time

#artificialintelligence

Researchers from Russian corporation Neurobotics and the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology have found a way to visualize a person's brain activity as actual images mimicking what they observe in real time. This will enable new post-stroke rehabilitation devices controlled by brain signals. The team published its research as a preprint on bioRxiv and posted a video online showing their "mind-reading" system at work. To develop devices controlled by the brain and methods for cognitive disorder treatment and post-stroke rehabilitation, neurobiologists need to understand how the brain encodes information. A key aspect of this is studying the brain activity of people perceiving visual information, for example, while watching a video.


MIT-IBM Report: Early AI Adoption Saw 46 Percent Decrease in Job Tasks

#artificialintelligence

IBM and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology conducted research into artificial intelligence's impact on employment and found that the emerging technology would result in fewer tasks and more focus on work that requires "soft skills." MIT and IBM's Watson AI Lab analyzed the potential applicability of machine learning in 170M online job postings from 2010 to 2017 as part of the study titled "The Future of Work: How New Technologies Are Transforming Tasks," IBM said Wednesday. According to the study, there was a 3.7 decrease in required work across 18.5K tasks and 46 percent less demand for tasks that are more suited for AI and machine learning. The IBM-MIT team noted that workers were asked to perform 4.3 fewer tasks encompassing activities like scheduling and credential validation. Tasks requiring soft skills like common sense, intuition, judgment and creativity saw 2.9 fewer tasks throughout a seven-year period.
