Intel, EXOS Pilot 3D Athlete Tracking with Pro Football Hopefuls

#artificialintelligence

What's New: EXOS, a leader in the field of advancing human performance, is piloting Intel's 3D Athlete Tracking (3DAT) technology in training aspiring professional athletes to reach their peak performance. As pro days loom, these athletes seek to take their game to the next level with 3DAT by leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to gain actionable insights about their velocity, acceleration and biomechanics when sprinting. This press release features multimedia. Two-time Olympic gold medalist Ashton Eaton works as a product development engineer in Intel's Olympic Technology Group. "There's a massive gap in the sports and movement field, between what people feel when they move and what they actually know that they're doing," says Eaton, who won gold medals in the decathlon.

Now You Can Use Artificial Intelligence To Analyze Flavors In Coffee

#artificialintelligence

Deciphering what flavor notes are present in a given coffee is more art than science. Tasters spend hours upon hours training their palates, translating the sensory information through the lens of past (highly subjective) flavor experiences to arrive at descriptors that best align with the original sensory input. But one startup is looking to take a more scientific approach to identifying flavors in coffee. The company is called Demetria and they have created an app to "detect a specific and high value sensory ("taste") profile of green coffee." In a press release announcing the company, Demetria touts itself as "the first AI-powered taste and quality intelligence [software as a service] startup for the coffee supply chain."


Robo-writers: the rise and risks of language-generating AI

#artificialintelligence

In June 2020, a new and powerful artificial intelligence (AI) began dazzling technologists in Silicon Valley. Called GPT-3 and created by the research firm OpenAI in San Francisco, California, it was the latest and most powerful in a series of'large language models': AIs that generate fluent streams of text after imbibing billions of words from books, articles and websites. GPT-3 had been trained on around 200 billion words, at an estimated cost of tens of millions of dollars. The developers who were invited to try out GPT-3 were astonished. "I have to say I'm blown away," wrote Arram Sabeti, founder of a technology start-up who is based in Silicon Valley. "It's far more coherent than any AI language system I've ever tried. All you have to do is write a prompt and it'll add text it thinks would plausibly follow. I've gotten it to write songs, stories, press releases, guitar tabs, interviews, essays, technical manuals. I feel like I've seen the future."


Learn Who Is Potentially Using Cutting Edge Solutions to Create the Next Generation of Robotics and Automation

#artificialintelligence

Clinton Township, Michigan--(Newsfile Corp. - March 1, 2021) - Resgreen Group (OTC PINK: RGGI) ("RGGI"), a leading mobile robot company, today announced the development of Atlas, its new Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) for demanding industrial and mission critical 24/7 applications. The vehicle can use either natural feature or magnetic tape guidance to navigate through manufacturing facilities and warehouses. The natural feature or free guidance requires no wires, tape or navigation marks. Instead, the vehicle uses advanced lasers to scan its surroundings, and then determines its position based on the mapped features along its path. "Atlas mobile robot was designed to meet a wide variety of customers' needs, whether it's free navigation requiring no modification to your facility or more cost-effective magnetic tape guidance," said Parsh Patel, CEO of RGGI. "We also understand industrial customers require a rugged vehicle that is built to last and moves heavy loads easily." It features 5G communications and operates using an Android or iOS application in manual mode and WiFi in automatic mode.


Yahoo Japan operator merges with Line to take on foreign tech giants

The Japan Times

Z Holdings Corp., operator of Yahoo Japan online services, and messaging app provider Line Corp. merged on Monday to expand their online services globally as they aim to better compete with U.S. and Chinese tech giants. With a combined user base of about 150 million in Japan, the merger of Z Holdings, a SoftBank Group Corp. subsidiary, and Line will make it one of the biggest information technology companies in the country. "We would like to launch a global smartphone app" in the future to expand online services worldwide with the help of global tech firms in which SoftBank Group's nearly $100 billion Vision Fund has invested, said Takeshi Idezawa, Z Holdings co-CEO and former Line president, at a news conference. Kentaro Kawabe, the other Z Holdings co-CEO said, "We can offer a wider range of services, such as search engine, e-commerce and online financial operations, than those provided by GAFA -- Google LLC, Apple Inc., Facebook Inc. and Amazon.com The surviving entity is Z Holdings, under which Yahoo Japan and Line operate their respective businesses.


Can Auditing Eliminate Bias from Algorithms? โ€“ The Markup

#artificialintelligence

For more than a decade, journalists and researchers have been writing about the dangers of relying on algorithms to make weighty decisions: who gets locked up, who gets a job, who gets a loan--even who has priority for COVID-19 vaccines. Rather than remove bias, one algorithm after another has codified and perpetuated it, as companies have simultaneously continued to more or less shield their algorithms from public scrutiny. The big question ever since: How do we solve this problem? Lawmakers and researchers have advocated for algorithmic audits, which would dissect and stress-test algorithms to see how they work and whether they're performing their stated goals or producing biased outcomes. And there is a growing field of private auditing firms that purport to do just that.


AI Predicts What You Can Eat

#artificialintelligence

The typical ingredient-tetris bottleneck played between guest and server while dining out has amplified during COVID-19. Growth in online ordering and takeout has prompted customers with dietary needs to search online for dietary answers more than ever before.1 With over 52% of Americans following at least one diet, and less than 10% of restaurants labeling dietary information (typically not exhaustive), the information gap has never been wider. Prompted by an Ulcerative Colitis health scare for co-founder Tamir Barzilai, Honeycomb.ai is set on eliminating the frustrating process of manual menu parsing by creating a portal for anyone with dietary needs to find suitable food to eat. "After my personal diagnosis, I realized how many others struggle with finding food to eat due to a variety of reasons. The lack of ubiquitous dietary and ingredient transparency didn't make sense from both consumer and business perspectives," says Barzilai.
