Vectorspace AI Datasets: ABT Crypto AMA (Ask Me Anything)

#artificialintelligence

While'data' might be the new oil, the'dataset' is the refined gasoline that powers every Machine Learning (ML) and AI operation. These datasets are used to boost signal, accuracy, precision, profit/loss, Sortino or Sharpe ratios in the financial markets and biosciences industries. The following is a transcript of a recent AMA hosted by ABT Crypto Academy on Telegram with the founder of Vectorspace AI, Kasian Franks. We're extremely privileged to be joined by Kasian Franks the CEO of Vectorspace, it's only right we start off with a brief introduction -- can you tell us what exactly Vectorspace is and how the idea came about? We got our start in Life Sciences, now most refer to it as Biosciences at Genentech and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab https://www.lbl.gov There we were tasked with creating a system to identify hidden relationships between genes, drugs and diseases connected to breast cancer, chromosomal radiation damage and extending human lifespan for the purpose of deep space travel. We wrote a paper with Micheal I. Jordan, teacher of Andrew Ng, who developed the first AI for Google and China's Baidu. "The statistical modeling of biomedical corpora could yield integrated, coarse-to-fine views of biological phenomena that complement discoveries made f…" Human genes are like stocks or cryptos. Our technology is based on datasets.


How Artificial Intelligence is Changing HR

#artificialintelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the workplace in significant ways that are being used by recruiters to expand and improve their workforce. These AI applications are not about replacing human beings as much as efficiently finding the best human beings as candidates for open job positions. AI is extremely efficient in data mining to find the keywords that will be the optimal choices for advertising copy about open job positions. AI is also effective in screening potential candidates to find a match. To have job listings rank high on the search engine results page, recruiters use AI-driven keyword optimization techniques to have the best results.


DeepMind's AI Solves an Old Grand Challenge of Biology

#artificialintelligence

Proteins are essential to life, supporting practically all its functions. They are large complex molecules made from chains of amino acids. What a protein does mostly depends on its unique 3D structure. Understanding what shapes proteins fold into is known as the'protein folding problem,' and has stood as a grand challenge in biology for the past 50 years. In a significant scientific advance, the artificial intelligence group DeepMind's latest version of the AI system AlphaFold has been detected to solve this grand challenge by the organisers of the biennial Critical Assessment of Protein Structure Prediction (CASP). This breakthrough demonstrates the impact AI can have on fundamental fields that explain and shape the world.


PODCAST Artificial Connect uses AI to generate automated local event announcements

#artificialintelligence

In the in the local market, especially if it comes to local journalism and to the event market and the first time we heard that we thought well that, that's interesting and then we I think we went on with our other projects and the second time we heard another customer telling us about the same problem, we got more and more interested in that and then we asked a lot of media companies in Germany, what they are thinking about this specific problem and if we would solve that problem would that be a high would that provide a high value, if we would develop an automated solution for this specific task. So most of of the directors and so on we spoke to.

ServiceNow buys artificial intelligence pioneer Element AI - SiliconANGLE

#artificialintelligence

ServiceNow Inc. is beefing up its artificial intelligence development capabilities with the acquisition today of a company called Element AI Inc. that's widely known as one of the pioneers in the field. Montreal-based Element AI launched back in 2016 as a professional services firm focused on helping traditional enterprises implement machine learning. The startup garnered significant industry attention from the outset thanks in part to its high-profile co-founder, the well-known deep learning researcher Yoshua Bengio, who won the Turing Award in 2018 for his contributions to the field. Element AI has gradually expanded its focus since its launch by creating a fund to support fellow machine learning companies and introducing ready-made AI tools. The company's offerings include Knowledge Scout, a search engine for manufacturers that speeds up the diagnosis and repair of production line issues by giving technicians relevant information about previous incidents with similar characteristics.


"Riding a Racehorse Through a Field of Concepts": What It's Like to Write a Book With an A.I.

Slate

K Allado-McDowell had been working with artificial intelligence for years--they established the Artists and Machine Intelligence program at Google AI--when the pandemic prompted a new, more personal kind of engagement. During this period of isolation, they started a conversation with GPT-3, the latest iteration of the Generative Pre-trained Transformer language model released by OpenAI earlier this year. GPT-3 is, in short, a statistical language model drawing on a training corpus of 499 billion tokens (mostly Common Crawl data scraped from the internet, along with digitized books and Wikipedia) that takes a user-contributed text prompt and uses machine learning to predict what will come next. The results of Allado-McDowell's explorations--a multigenre collection of essays, poetry, memoir, and science fiction--were recently published in the U.K. as Pharmako-AI, the first book "co-authored" with GPT-3. By its very nature, the book forces us to ask who is responsible for which aspects of its authorship and to question how we imagine or conceptualize that nonhuman half.


Branches in Artificial Intelligence to Transform Your Business!

#artificialintelligence

On May 8, 2018, Google I/O was held at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California. If you are wondering what Google I/O is, don't worry, I've got your back. "Google I/O brings together developers from around the globe annually for talks, hands-on learning with Google experts, and the first look at Google's latest developer products." In the Keynote, Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Alphabet Inc. (Google's parent company), shared the then-latest developments that Google had been working on. One of the projects that he spoke about was something that maybe no one saw coming; an application of Artificial Intelligence (AI), soon to be on our own smartphones, that left the world in awe.

Opinion/Middendorf: Artificial intelligence and the future of warfare

#artificialintelligence

J. William Middendorf, who lives in Little Compton, served as Secretary of the Navy during the Ford administration. His recent book is "The Great Nightfall: How We Win the New Cold War." Thirteen days passed in October 1962 while President John F. Kennedy and his advisers perched at the edge of the nuclear abyss, pondering their response to the discovery of Russian missiles in Cuba. Today, a president may not have 13 minutes. Indeed, a president may not be involved at all. "Artificial intelligence is the future, not only for Russia, but for all humankind. It comes with colossal opportunities but also threats that are difficult to predict. Whoever becomes the leader in this sphere will become the ruler of the world."
