New AI Mental Health Tools Beat Human Doctors at Assessing Patients

#artificialintelligence

About 20 percent of youth in the United States live with a mental health condition, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. The good news is that mental health professionals have smarter tools than ever before, with artificial intelligence-related technology coming to the forefront to help diagnose patients, often with much greater accuracy than humans. A new study published in the journal Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, for example, showed that machine learning is up to 93 percent accurate in identifying a suicidal person. The research, led by John Pestian, a professor at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, involved 379 teenage patients from three area hospitals. Each patient completed standardized behavioral rating scales and participated in a semi-structured interview, answering five open-ended questions such as "Are you angry?" to stimulate conversation, according to a press release from the university.

Is Overwatch's New Hero Really An Eleven Year-Old Girl?

Forbes - Tech

Last week, Blizzard posted a curious message in the Overwatch forums, that "24 isn't who you think." Many fans took that to mean that Blizzard was implying that Doomfist was not going to be the game's 24th hero. The character was never confirmed as next on the agenda, with fans really only speculating as such because of the whole "Terry Crews wants to voice him" saga that took place a few weeks ago. But now, Blizzard is actually teasing a new hero, and she's….an Blizzard is known for its unique takes on heroes from giant pig men to Russian bodybuilders, but a kid hero would be something new altogether.


Shark Tank Reject Raises $209 Million, Fights Crime

Forbes - Tech

If you're a fan of Shark Tank, then you may remember Jamie Siminoff. In September 2013, he pitched his company, then called DoorBot, in hopes of raising $700,000 for his revolutionary video doorbell. However, the sharks were not biting and Siminoff walked away without an investment. Kevin O'Leary even delivered his signature "you're dead to me" line. Today, Siminoff's company - now known as Ring - has raised $209 million from some of the world's top investors, including Kleiner Perkins, First Round, Richard Branson, Goldman Sachs, DFJ Growth, Qualcomm Ventures, American Family Insurance, Amazon Alexa Fund and Shea Ventures, among others.


When Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity and EU Policy Meet

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a game changer for the future of cybersecurity. Security professionals need to mine not only structured information, but also unstructured data, including human-generated content. Artificial intelligence enables IT teams to reason, learn and provide context in real time beyond simple analytics patterns. Armed with this collective insight, security analysts can respond to threats with increased speed, accuracy and confidence. Like any new technology, AI introduces many concerns related to governance, transparency, human interactions, privacy and security principles.


What Your TV Meteorologist Likely Thinks Of Climate Change

Forbes - Tech

The vast majority of members of the American Meteorological Society agree that recent climate change stems at least in part from human causes, and the agreement has been growing significantly in the last five years. According to a new survey of AMS members, 67% say climate change over the last 50 years is mostly to entirely caused by human activity, and more than 4 in 5 (80%) respondents attributed at least some of the climate change to human activity. Roughly 5% said only natural processes were driving climate change. AMS is a broad body that represents expertise including Ph.D. holding scientists and professors (nearly 30%), operational weather forecasters, TV meteorologists, private company professionals, and so on. As such, the 67 to 80 percent number is going to vary from the oft-cited 97% number for climate scientists publishing on the topic or expressing an opinion.

Astronomers Use Darwinism To Make Family Tree Of Nearby Stars

Forbes - Tech

For the first time, astronomers have used advanced algorithms taken from evolutionary biology and successfully applied them to make a phylogenetic family tree of 22 nearby stars. In a paper appearing in the journal The Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, the authors report that they have taken a page from the work of Charles Darwin in an effort to do stellar genealogy on a sampling of stars within our own galaxy. "We worked together with people from evolutionary biology and basically applied the principles of biology to astronomy," Paula Jofre, the paper's lead author and an astronomer at the University of Cambridge in the U.K., told me. "We used the chemical elements of the stars as if they were the DNA and used genetic algorithms that have been built in evolutionary biology to create the trees." Astronomers hope to use this new data to develop a genealogical family tree of millions of our galaxy's stars.


Why the tech world is on steroids - Vanguard News

#artificialintelligence

IT is no longer news that Nigeria is in a serious recession with a very high misery index. So, as year 2016 Christmas approached, those living in the country were advised by experts in money management to conserve whatever little funds they had at their disposal. They particularly advised that folks should stay at home, travel less, spend less, cut out on luxury items and save more, as the economic headwinds in the country will continue well into 2017. So, I struggled to convince myself to stay put at home for the Christmas and New Year. However, the allure of the CES (Consumer Electronics Show) was too strong for me to resist, thus compelling me to set out for the CES 2017, which is hosted annually in the city of Las Vegas, United States of America.
