Dean's Lecture Series Reveals that the Future of Artificial Intelligence Has Arrived

#artificialintelligence

Imagine a world where medicine is made more precise with the aid of holograms, allowing doctors to digitally "see" into a patient's body during a procedure. A world where you can give a keynote address in perfect Japanese, in your own voice, anywhere, at any time--even if you don't speak Japanese. This may sound like the stuff of some far-away future, but in the 2019 SES Dean's Lecture Series, hosted by dean Jean Zu on October 17, Dr. Xuedong Huang assured an audience of more than 200 faculty, students, and staff that "All of these technologies exist today. Sponsored by the Schaefer School of Engineering and Science at Stevens Institute of Technology, Huang's enthralling lecture--"Breaking Human Interaction Barriers--AI, HoloLens and Beyond"--revealed a future enriched by artificial intelligence. Huang, a Microsoft Technical Fellow in Microsoft Cloud and AI, founded the company's speech technology group in 1993. This group brought speech recognition to the mass market with the ...


Live Webinar: How AI, the Cloud, and a Modern Augmented Worker Platform Are Transforming Manufacturing - Augmentir

#artificialintelligence

In recent years, many manufacturers have turned to emerging technologies like Augmented Reality (AR) or Artificial Intelligence (AI) to solve challenges such as the imminent skills gap or the need to improve productivity and quality. What's mostly overlooked though are the opportunities these technologies provide to connect and augment manufacturing workers to create sustainable value throughout the organization. Leveraging AR and AI in a holistic manner allows manufacturing organizations to augment their frontline workforce with interactive and personalized instructions while also capturing human-centric activities that provide new insights into improving productivity, quality, and training. Building these solutions on a dependable cloud infrastructure like Microsoft Azure means building on a foundation that provides a rich set of built-in connectivity and security features, which enable reliable and secure bidirectional communication. In this webinar, you'll learn how you can leverage the synergies between Augmentir and Microsoft to successfully move your manufacturing business to the digital world and: Russ Fadel is a serial entrepreneur and the CEO and Co-Founder of Augmentir.


Top 5 Machine Learning Projects for Beginners

#artificialintelligence

Ok, now we are packed with a couple of general tips to get started on your ML project, let's take a look at 10 interesting examples that will teach you how to use ML algorithms, tune them, but also how to analyze the given data. The Iris Flowers dataset is seen as the "Hello World" of ML as it's the classic example of classification. This dataset offers a great introduction as it requires you to learn how to explore data and how to load it. The benefit of this dataset is that is small to load into your memory (150 rows) and it has only four properties: Petal length, Petal width, Sepal length, and Sepal width. The project involves the identification of four different species of Iris flowers using the four known properties.


ByteDance to launch AI teacher by 2020 Global Education Times

#artificialintelligence

Chinese internet company ByteDance is set to release a 24-hour artificial intelligence (AI) teacher for K-12 students in China by 2020. In 2018, ByteDance challenged the Tencent-backed VIPKid when they launched Gogokid, an online English teaching platform. Then, in May 2019, the company officially released an online education portal offering mathematics and language courses for K-12, taught by graduates of Peking and Tsinghua universities, the top two universities in China. Since July this year, ByteDance has focused on testing a new English learning application, Tangyuan English, which features a mode using a combination'AI real person' teaching workout.

Traffic Sign Classification with Keras and Deep Learning - PyImageSearch

#artificialintelligence

In this tutorial, you will learn how to train your own traffic sign classifier/recognizer capable of obtaining over 95% accuracy using Keras and Deep Learning. Last weekend I drove down to Maryland to visit my parents. As I pulled into their driveway I noticed something strange -- there was a car I didn't recognize sitting in my dad's parking spot. I parked my car, grabbed my bags out of the trunk, and before I could even get through the front door, my dad came out, excited and enlivened, exclaiming that he had just gotten back from the car dealership and traded in his old car for a brand new 2020 Honda Accord. Most everyone enjoys getting a new car, but for my dad, who puts a lot of miles on his car each year for work, getting a new car is an especially big deal.
