Schools are not providing the adequate skills to succeed in a world where artificial intelligence will transform the future labour force, according the new research from ESCP Europe. In order to prepare our future generation for a world that will revolve around technologies such as AI, major steps need to be taken in order to coincide this change with the educational structure and understand how the current system is not giving children the personal and professional technological development required says the accompanying report. According to Terence Tse, Professor of Digital Transformation at ESCP Europe: "Our modern-day educational system is outdated, unfitting and no longer works - it only teaches a very rigid set of theories and skills. This is grossly inadequate for the needs of children who will be working in the age of the 4th Industrial Revolution and beyond. "The majority of the jobs our current education system is preparing our children for will be irrelevant by the time they are adults and most will end up in jobs that don't even exist yet.

People turn to different sources for tips on clothing - be it magazines to best friends to Instagram - now researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system that can look at a photo of an outfit and suggest on how to make it more fashionable. "It's also motivated by a practical idea: that we can work with a given outfit to make small changes so it's just a bit better," said Kristen Grauman, Professor from University of Texas at Austin. Suggestions may include tweaks such as selecting a sleeveless top or a longer jacket, said researchers. The tool, named Fashion, uses visual recognition systems to analyse the colour, pattern, texture and shape of garments in an image. It considers where edits will have the most impact.

Abu Dhabi is gearing up for the next phase in advances in science and technology by announcing plans to open the world's first University of Artificial Intelligence. Academic experts and businesspeople from China, America and the UK will help to steer the state-of-the-art institute when the campus officially opens to graduate students in Masdar City in September 2020. Abu Dhabi made the announcement as part of a national strategy set up in 2017 that makes Artificial Intelligence the centrepiece of the UAE's focus on developing a "knowledge-based economy". The university has partnered with the Abu Dhabi-based Inception Institute of Artificial Intelligence, who will advise on the academic curriculum. The university has also been named after the capital's political leader, crown prince sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

BERLIN/SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Alphabet Inc's (GOOGL.O) Google said on Wednesday it had achieved a breakthrough in computing research by using a quantum computer to solve in minutes a complex problem that would take today's most powerful supercomputer thousands of years to crack. Google researchers expect that quantum computers within a few years will fuel advancements in fields such as artificial intelligence, materials science, and chemistry. The company is racing rivals including IBM Corp (IBM.N) and Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) to be the first to commercialize the technology and sell it through its cloud computing business. "We're hoping that when people start using this and looking at performance stability and cloud interface, they'll get really excited about what we have to offer at Google," John Martinis, the company's chief scientist for quantum hardware, told reporters. The breakthrough was described in a paper here published in science journal Nature. It followed weeks of controversy since a draft leaked over whether Google's claim of "quantum supremacy" was valid.

Brazil's mining major Vale is set to start applying machine learning to identify new drilling targets at its Coleman nickel mine. Coleman Mine, which is the flagship asset of Vale in Ontario, Canada, is part of the company's base metals operations. Vale has selected technology company GoldSpot Discoveries to examine and analyse the vast amount of data acquired by it over decades of mining at Coleman. GoldSpot Discoveries' team of geologists and data scientists will also discover previously unrecognised data trends, which may point to unknown areas of in-depth mineralisation. By using its geoscience and machine science expertise, GoldSpot Discoveries' team will clean, unify and analyse exploration data from Vale's Coleman Mine.

The superpowers of the new economy are also the buzz words changing how the world interacts: Artificial intelligence, the "internet of things" and edge computing are the megatrends dominating the conversation on both a business and a personal level. "Practical everyday things are being done in AI," said David Floyer, co-host of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media's mobile livestreaming studio. "It's going from being a niche to being just everyday use, and its impact long-term is profound." TheCUBE co-host Dave Vellante joined Floyer during today's Micron Insight event in San Francisco. They discussed recent developments in storage and memory, as well as the challenges and opportunities facing Micron Technology Inc. in the marketplace (see the full interview with transcript here).

The popularity of the semiconductor sector helped Tokyo stocks extend their gains on Friday. The 225-issue Nikkei average rose 49.21 points, or 0.22 percent, to end at 22,799.81, The key market gauge grew 125.22 points Thursday. The Topix index of all issues listed on the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange finished up 4.70 points, or 0.29 percent, at 1,648.44, after gaining 5.60 points the previous day. Stocks got off to a higher start led by chip-related issues after U.S. semiconductor giant Intel Corp. showed upbeat earnings estimates on Thursday, brokers said.

Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com First baseman Ali Sanchez was standing in the on-deck circle so he had a great vantage point of the two-strike breaking ball to Jacob Heyward. It finished so low that by the time it reached the catcher it nearly bounced in the dirt. Sanchez -- like everybody else who was watching this game on a Tuesday night in the Arizona Fall League -- had an immediate mental reaction.

RL algorithm learns how to act best through many attempts and failures. Trial-and-error learning is connected with the so-called long-term reward. This reward is the ultimate goal the agent learns while interacting with an environment through numerous trials and errors. The algorithm gets short-term rewards that together lead to the cumulative, long-term one. So, the key goal of reinforcement learning used today is to define the best sequence of decisions that allow the agent to solve a problem while maximizing a long-term reward. And that set of coherent actions is learned through the interaction with environment and observation of rewards in every state. Reinforcement learning is distinguished from other training styles, including supervised and unsupervised learning, by its goal and, consequently, the learning approach. Three ML training styles compared.

Tech is a broad field and there are many fascinating directions in which you can go and where you need to become a pro to get the online technical training. There are a lot of applications for this revolutionary software, from Siri and Alexa to chatbots to predictive analytics to self-driving cars. Those who are now starting to take online machine learning courses will still get in relatively early because demand is only growing from here. "61% of organizations demand that Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence be among their top software initiatives and Machine learning can be extended to all fields, including healthcare, education, banking, and so on. There are endless possibilities where you can apply your machine learning skills to a position that suits your personality and interests.
