IoT and Machine Learning Experts Gather in Boston for RE•WORK Summits - Press Release - Digital Journal

#artificialintelligence

RE•WORK will host it's annual East Coast events on Deep Learning and the Internet of Things in Boston on 12 & 13 May. Over 300 machine learning and IoT enthusiasts and experts will come together to hear keynote presentations, panel discussions, fireside chats and to explore the startup showcase area. The Deep Learning Summit brings together leaders from industry, academia and startups to explore advances in deep learning methods and techniques, as well as their business applications in areas including finance, manufacturing, healthcare & transportation. Professor Bengio is also Head of the Machine Learning Laboratory, Co-director of the CIFAR Neural Computation & Adaptive Perception program, and editor of many prestigious machine learning publications. Daniel's work has been reported on in The Times, the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, BBC News, New Scientist and Forbes magazine.

Nintendo's New Zelda Delayed Until the NX Console Comes Out In 2017

WIRED

Nintendo's new Zelda game will indeed appear on the company's new NX game machine--but neither will arrive this year. Announcing its year-end financial results on Wednesday, Nintendo finally gave some long-awaited updates on the status of its promised, open-world The Legend of Zelda game as well as NX, the new game machine it announced over a year ago. They just weren't the sort of updates fans were hoping to hear. Zelda, planned for release on the current Wii U console, has been developed "in tandem" with a version for NX, Nintendo said. Both versions are currently planned to launch alongside NX in March 2017.


Riot control robot that looks like a DALEK gives protesters electric shocks if they step out of line

Daily Mail - Science & tech

You have ten seconds to comply, or you're in for a shock. Rolling straight out of a dystopian future where robots keep humans in check, a Chinese university has developed a riot control machine to keep the peace. The robot, which resembles one of Dr Who's infamous Daleks, can keep rioters in check with a nifty electric shock and could enable people to call for help or press an SOS button to call for police. Robotics experts from Beijing's National Defense University unveiled their crime fighting creation at the Chongqing Hi-Tech Fair (pictured). The team claims the robot is is a breakthrough and could play a key role in the future of China's attempts to crush terrorism and public dissent Its makers said the AnBot is a breakthrough in low cost robotics and surveillance and could play a key role in the future of China's attempts to crush terrorism and public dissent.


Gaussian Processes for Machine Learning (Adaptive Computation and Machine Learning series)

#artificialintelligence

Gaussian processes (GPs) provide a principled, practical, probabilistic approach to learning in kernel machines. GPs have received increased attention in the machine-learning community over the past decade, and this book provides a long-needed systematic and unified treatment of theoretical and practical aspects of GPs in machine learning. The treatment is comprehensive and self-contained, targeted at researchers and students in machine learning and applied statistics.The book deals with the supervised-learning problem for both regression and classification, and includes detailed algorithms. A wide variety of covariance (kernel) functions are presented and their properties discussed. Model selection is discussed both from a Bayesian and a classical perspective.


'Computer vision' brings Martian surface into stunning relief

Christian Science Monitor | Science

The idea of enhancing an image digitally to reveal previously unseen levels of detail has become something of a sci-fi movie cliché. Now, astronomers at University College London have used a similar computer vision technique to learn more about the location of the missing Beagle 2 probe on the surface of Mars. A paper on the novel "stacking and matching" technique, which allows researchers to pick out objects at a resolution of up to five times greater than the original images, was published in the journal Planetary and Space Science in February. But just recently, the UCL researchers began using the technique, called Super-Resolution Restoration (SRR), to identify individual objects on the red planet's surface. "We now have the equivalent of drone-eye vision anywhere on the surface of Mars where there are enough clear repeat pictures," Jan-Peter Muller of UCL's Mullard Space Science Laboratory says in a press release.

Nintendo NX Release Date Announced Alongside 'Legend Of Zelda' E3 Update And New Smartphone Games

International Business Times

Nintendo has announced that it will launch its next generation games console -- called NX -- later this year ahead of the product going on sale in March 2017, as the Japanese gaming giant reports a huge fall in revenue. The company announced the NX news at the same time as it revealed that for the fiscal year ending March 31, its earnings plunged 60.6 percent to 16.5 million yen ( 148 million) on revenue of 4.53 billion, down 8 percent. The company has struggled to compete with the Xbox One from Microsoft and Sony's PlayStation 4, with the Wii U failing to replicate the huge success the company experienced with the original Wii. Nintendo failed to give any details about the new console, but quashed speculation about a reveal at the E3 gaming trade show in June, saying the company would be focusing on its new game "The Legend of Zelda" in Los Angeles. Not much is known about the Nintendo NX, with Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima telling Time earlier this year that the console would not simply be an update to its current model.


Nintendo NX release date: New console will arrive in March 2017, company confirms

The Independent - Tech

Nasa has announced that it has found evidence of flowing water on Mars. Scientists have long speculated that Recurring Slope Lineae -- or dark patches -- on Mars were made up of briny water but the new findings prove that those patches are caused by liquid water, which it has established by finding hydrated salts. Several hundred camped outside the London store in Covent Garden. The 6s will have new features like a vastly improved camera and a pressure-sensitive "3D Touch" display


Supermassive black holes and dark matter create space 'tunnels', Lancaster university says

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Dark matter is one of the most elusive components of our universe, with scientists trying to find physical evidence of it to match our mathematical models of space. While we have been so far unable to see it or measure it directly, physicists believe the enigmatic material fills in the gaps in the universe, while matter makes up the'stuff', like planets and stars. But a new paper has suggested that adding a sprinkling of dark matter to a supermassive black hole could result in one of the strangest objects in the universe - a wormhole. Physicists may have uncovered the recipe for creating wormholes in space (illustrated). Wormholes are the stuff of science fiction, with theorists describing them as a tunnel through space-time which could connect two distant points in the universe.
