A research team led by investigators from the National Institutes of Health and Global Good has developed a computer algorithm that can analyze digital images of a woman's cervix and accurately identify precancerous changes that require medical attention. This artificial intelligence (AI) approach, called automated visual evaluation, has the potential to revolutionize cervical cancer screening, particularly in low-resource settings. To develop the method, researchers used comprehensive datasets to "train" a deep, or machine, learning algorithm to recognize patterns in complex visual inputs, such as medical images. The approach was created collaboratively by investigators at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and Global Good, a fund at Intellectual Ventures, and the findings were confirmed independently by experts at the National Library of Medicine (NLM). The results appeared in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute on January 10, 2019.

After more than a century on the road, the automobile is ready for a major redesign. Instead, it was the production-ready technologies that will infuse AI into the next generation of cars for safer, more efficient driving in the near term. And, making these compute-intensive products a mass-market reality is the high-performance, energy-efficient NVIDIA DRIVE platform. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and Mercedes-Benz Executive VP Sajjad Khan announce new partnership at CES 2019.NVIDIA These new vehicles are being redesigned from the inside out. To handle the compute requirements of autonomous driving and an intelligent cockpit, Mercedes-Benz is working with NVIDIA to develop a new centralized vehicle computing architecture.

The CSIRO has today launched a new artificial intelligence-powered platform that brings together a trove of land-use data for agribusiness to better predict performance. The Rural Intelligence Platform combines a variety of technology developed by CSIRO over the years, including the Digital Soil Map and satellite imagery analysis, to comprehensively assess and monitor rural land anywhere across the country. To do so, RIP takes into account elements like access to water, crop types, rainfall, drought impact, yield and historical productivity. Climate information is also interpreted to show how drought, frost, and heat stress for livestock are likely to impact on farmers. The platform combines all of these features using machines learning, and incorporates an AI-initiated Automation Valuation Model - the same technology used by real estate agencies to gain a quick, relatively accurate estimate of a residential property's value - that the CSIRO said has can instantly value rural properties with up 90 percent accuracy.

For the last couple of years, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has held an annual invite-only event where billionaires, astronauts, and roboticists could rub shoulders and chat about the future of tech over gourmet nibbles. Now that event is being turned into a public conference -- one that "embraces an optimistic vision for scientific discovery" and will feature demos, workshops and talks about machine learning and space exploration. "We're at the beginning of a golden age of AI," said Bezos in a press statement. "Recent advancements have already led to invention that previously lived in the realm of science fiction -- and we've only scratched the surface of what's possible." The new event will be held in Las Vegas between June 4th and 7th later this year.

Artificial intelligence, energy diversification and the transformation of the workforce will be amongst the major talking points at SPE Offshore Europe 2019. Senior international industry figures will co-chair the keynote sessions which also includes late life and decommissioning, underwater innovation, transformative technologies to lower the carbon footprint, digital security, integrated technologies, digitalisation, standardisation and finance. The event will take place from 3-6 September at the new £333million The Event Complex Aberdeen (TECA), under the theme: 'Breakthrough to Excellence – Our license to operate'. Michael Borrell, SPE Offshore Europe 2019 Conference Chair & Senior Vice President, North Sea and Russia at Total said: "Our committee is full of international oil and gas industry leaders and they have developed an excellent programme which gets to the heart of the main opportunities and challenges facing the region. "Offshore Europe 2019 is a great opportunity for us to challenge ourselves in the North Sea basin.

Grocery store chain Stop & Shop announced today that it will begin testing driverless grocery vehicles in Boston starting this spring, combining the hype of autonomous delivery cars, cashier-less stores, and meal kits into one experimental pilot. The launch is part of a partnership with San Francisco-based startup Robomart, whose vehicles will cart around Stop & Shop items like produce, convenience items, and meal kits to customers' doorsteps. The electric vehicles will be temperature-controlled to keep produce fresh, and controlled remotely from a Robomart facility. Customers can hail the mini grocery stores via an app, on an interface which feels a lot like calling an Uber. Once the vehicle arrives, customers can unlock the doors, and the items they grab are tracked with RFID and computer vision technology.

Kong Inc., the leading API platform for modern architectures, today launched Kong Brain and Kong Immunity for its Kong Enterprise API platform. Powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, the new, advanced features will help automate the entire API and service development lifecycle from pre-production to post-production to provide organizations with an intelligent, end-to-end API solution. By automating processes including documentation, configuration and traffic analysis, Kong Brain and Kong Immunity will help organizations improve efficiency, accuracy and security. Kong Brain leverages the latest in AI technology to automate API and service documentation by collecting data from a user's existing platform and auto-generating documentation based on the data, which is then pushed back into the Kong platform and auto-configured. In the case of any code changes, it auto-generates updated documentation and pushes it back into Kong, creating a continuous feedback loop.

Change Healthcare and Health Fidelity are partnering to offer a risk adjustment coding solution that uses natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning to increase claim accuracy and address compliance issues, the companies announced Monday, Jan. 14. The companies hope their partnership will help provide greater accuracy, better compliance and more precise reimbursement for payers. Change Healthcare is a revenue and payment cycle management and clinical information exchange solutions company. Health Fidelity is a healthcare technology startup. "With their scale, established payer relationships, and years of coding experience, Change Healthcare is the ideal partner to extend the reach of our natural language processing within risk-adjustment coding," Steve Whitehurst, Health Fidelity chief executive officer, said in a prepared statement.
