Neural-Symbolic Argumentation Mining: an Argument in Favour of Deep Learning and Reasoning

On the other hand, AM has rapidlyfrom a given document (Lippi 2016). Recent years have seen the development evolved by exploiting state-of-the-art neural architectures of a large number of techniques in this area, on coming from deep learning. So far, the wake of the advancements produced by deep these two worlds have progressed largely independently learning on the whole research field of natural of each other. Only recently, a few works language processing (NLP). Yet, it is widely recognized have taken some steps towards the integration of that the existing AM systems still have such methods, by applying techniques combining a large margin of improvement, as good results sub-symbolic classifiers with knowledge expressed have been obtained with some genres where prior in the form of rules and constraints to AM. knowledge on the structure of the text eases some Niculae et al.

PaperRobot: Incremental Draft Generation of Scientific Ideas

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

We present a PaperRobot who performs as an automatic research assistant by (1) conducting deep understanding of a large collection of human-written papers in a target domain and constructing comprehensive background knowledge graphs (KGs); (2) creating new ideas by predicting links from the background KGs, by combining graph attention and contextual text attention; (3) incrementally writing some key elements of a new paper based on memory-attention networks: from the input title along with predicted related entities to generate a paper abstract, from the abstract to generate conclusion and future work, and finally from future work to generate a title for a follow-on paper. Turing Tests, where a biomedical domain expert is asked to compare a system output and a human-authored string, show PaperRobot generated abstracts, conclusion and future work sections, and new titles are chosen over human-written ones up to 30%, 24% and 12% of the time, respectively.


Public school district in New York starts using facial recognition to stop mass shootings

USATODAY - Tech Top Stories

San Francisco supervisors approved a ban on police using facial recognition technology, making it the first city in the U.S. with such a restriction. Facial recognition has enrolled in school. On Monday, a New York school district became one of the first in the U.S. to roll out facial recognition technology on campus using its students' faces as an added layer of security. The system of cameras can also be used to identify guns or flagged persons, such as expelled students and sex offenders, according to the school district. The Lockport City School District will pilot its Aegis system over the summer and will expand the technology to each of its eight schools before classes resume in the fall.


'Call of Duty' returns to 'Modern Warfare' with new video game out Oct. 25

USATODAY - Tech Top Stories

The wait is over as gamers get a glimpse of Activision's 2019 "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare." Activision is set to redeploy "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare." The next edition of the multi-billion dollar video game franchise will harken back to 2007's "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare," the first entry in the series to depart from a real-world historic conflict to explore modern-day hostilities. Since then, Call of Duty games have gone into the future with "Call of Duty: Black Ops 2" and "COD: Black Ops 3" based in 2025 and 2065, respectively. Originally, the first-person shooting games were set in World War II or the Vietnam War.


Massive online database left over 42 MILLION user records from dating apps exposed

Daily Mail - Science & tech

A Chinese database has exposed 42.5 million user records that were mined from a range of popular dating apps. The database was discovered by security researcher Jeremiah Fowler, who said it was not password protected and the majority of the records appeared to be from US users. Worryingly, the data left exposed included users' IP addresses, geolocation data, age and usernames. A Chinese database has exposed 42.5 million user records that were mined from a range of popular dating apps. The database included 42.5 million user records from an array of dating apps.


World Economic Council is developing global guidelines on AI spearheaded by panel of tech leaders

Daily Mail - Science & tech

World leaders in technology are uniting to establish a common set of guidelines on the use of artificial intelligence and reel in the potential for misuse. The Global AI Council, which was created as part of a summit by the World Economic Forum in San Francisco, will focus not just on establishing standards for how AI should and shouldn't be applied across fields, but in making those standards mesh among world powers, particularly the U.S. and China. The goal of connecting disparate governments is arguably best exemplified through the council's leaders -- Microsoft President Brad Smith and Chinese AI expert Kai-Fu Lee. According to a statement from the World Economic Forum, specifically, the council hopes to establish channels of communication between partners of the council on best practices and case studies as well as addressing what it calls'governance gaps' -- presumably areas where regulation has yet to keep up with potentially harmful technology. As noted by MIT Technology Review, one particular area that will likely be a flashpoint for regulatory and ethical guidelines surrounding AI is surveillance.


AWS launches Textract, machine learning for text and data extraction

#artificialintelligence

Need to extract content from a document quickly and automatically? Amazon today announced the general availability of Textract, a cloud-hosted and fully managed service that uses machine learning to parse data tables, forms, and whole pages for text and data. Virginia), US West (Oregon), and EU (Ireland) regions and will expand to additional regions in the coming year. Textract is more capable than your average optical character recognition system. From files stored in an Amazon S3 bucket, it's able to suss out the contents of fields and tables and the context in which this information is presented, like names and social security numbers in tax forms or totals from photographed receipts.


A Gentle Introduction to Deep Learning for Face Recognition

#artificialintelligence

Face recognition is the problem of identifying and verifying people in a photograph by their face. It is a task that is trivially performed by humans, even under varying light and when faces are changed by age or obstructed with accessories and facial hair. Nevertheless, it is remained a challenging computer vision problem for decades until recently. Deep learning methods are able to leverage very large datasets of faces and learn rich and compact representations of faces, allowing modern models to first perform as-well and later to outperform the face recognition capabilities of humans. In this post, you will discover the problem of face recognition and how deep learning methods can achieve superhuman performance.


Want to Step Up Your Customer Service? Bring in AI

#artificialintelligence

Today's customer service is ill equipped to handle the toughest interactions--ones that happen quickly, are often emotional, and carry very high stakes for your company. Enter artificial intelligence, a technology that, oddly enough, promises to personalize those interactions more than a human alone ever could. You and your colleague are flying from London to San Francisco and miss your connection in New York. You both need to rebook, and you get to the counter at JFK at the same time but there's only one seat left. Whoever doesn't get the seat will remember that interaction for a long time, so the airline had better make the right call, based on sound business logic. Yet as things now stand, that decision more often than not rests in the hands of a front-line employee who has about 15 seconds to make the call, with very little visibility into which passenger is the more loyal, valuable customer.


2019 World Medical Innovation Forum Artificial Intelligence: Where AI Meets Clinical Care

#artificialintelligence

The idea that a machine could exhibit the same level of intelligence as a human being has captivated scientists for decades. A.I. is not about building a robot, but developing a computer mind that can think like a human... that learns... that can even approach--and exceed--human levels of intelligence. Come join us in 2019.
