Google DeepMind Teaches Artificial Intelligence Machines to Read
A revolution in artificial intelligence is currently sweeping through computer science. The technique is called deep learning and it's affecting everything from facial and voice to fashion and economics. But one area that has not yet benefitted is natural language processing--the ability to read a document and then answer questions about it. That's partly because deep learning machines must first learn their trade from vast databases that are carefully annotated for the purpose. However, these simply do not exist in sufficient size to be useful.
GTA 5 down: Xbox One and PS4 servers offline for five hour maintenance leaving people unable to play game
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

Credit Card Sized Computer Now Comes With An Upgraded Camera
Following the launch of the Raspberry Pi3 in February, element14, the market leading manufacturer and distributor of the Raspberry Pi has announced the launch of two new upgraded cameras. The Raspberry Pi Camera v2 and Raspberry Pi NoIR Camera v2 is set to further enhance the application of the best selling credit-card sized computer. The upgraded bards are in stock and could be bought from element14. The two new Raspberry Pi cameras have a resolution of 8MP and feature an image sensor that enables the board to capture 3280 x 2464 pixel static images. The v2 cameras have video capability of 1080p30, 720p60 and 640x480p90 video, and link to the Raspberry Pi board through a dedicated CSi interface.
Why fuss over pure math?
When British mathematician Sir Andrew J. Wiles was awarded the Abel Prize Laureate in math on 15 March for cracking a centuries-old hypothesis, a friend asked me, "Why did he get the prize, and will this solve any real-world problem?" Quoting from the statement that the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters gave to the press, I told him that 63-year-old Wiles had been given the annual award "for his stunning proof of (French mathematician Pierre de) Fermat's last theorem by way of the modularity conjecture for semi-stable elliptic curves, opening a new era in number theory". So let me try to simplify it a bit. Number theory--also sometimes referred to as the "queen of mathematics" or "higher arithmetic"--is a branch of pure math, devoted primarily to the study of the properties of whole numbers. Fermat--a prominent mathematician of the 17th century--contributed significantly to number theory, probability theory, analytic geometry and the early development of infinitesimal calculus. Fermat's last theorem states that no three positive integers a, b, and c satisfy the equation an bn cn for any integer value of n that is greater than two.

It isn't just Uber: Carnegie Mellon's computer science dean on its poaching problem
Andrew Moore was a professor of computer science and robotics at Carnegie Mellon University for a dozen years when Google hired him away in 2006 to lead some of its efforts around ad targeting and fraud prevention. CMU lured Moore back in 2014, making him the dean of its computer science school. But he still understands well what goes through his colleagues' minds when industry comes calling, and he says the battle to keep them in academia grows fiercer by the year. Earlier today, we talked with Moore about Uber, which famously raided the school's robotics department a year ago, poaching 40 of its researchers and scientists. We also talked about how Moore entices people to stay, and the newest new thing his 2,000-student school is focused on right now.
Volvo plans self-driving cars' 'ambitious trial' on London roads early next year
Volvo has announced plans to conduct the'most ambitious' trial of driverless car technology on UK roads. The Swedish manufacturer said it will be the first time members of the British public will be recruited to get behind the wheel of autonomous driving (AD) cars on a public highway. A limited number of semi-AD cars will take to the streets of London early next year, before the scheme is extended in 2018 to up to 100 vehicles. Volvo has announced plans to conduct the'most ambitious' trial of driverless car technology on UK roads. The Swedish manufacturer said it will be the first time members of the British public will be recruited to get behind the wheel of autonomous driving (AD) cars on the public highway. Adapted versions of Volvo's XC90 sport utility vehicle will be used in the trials.
Being bilingual can be bad for your brain: Scientists say it can damage a person's ability to judge their own performance
More than half of the world's population is bilingual and that prevalence is rising. Psychologists have been interested in how bilingualism shapes the mind for almost a century - and many say it can improve memory and attention. But new research suggests this may not be the case, and being bilingual could in fact be bad for your brain. In their studies, babies listened to words spoken in both Spanish and English, which is common in America. They are those who suggest that in order to speak in one language, bilinguals have to suppress the influence of the other.
Google Deep Learning Open Course: Deep Learning --Taking machine learning to the next level
Machine learning is one of the fastest-growing and most exciting fields out there, and deep learning represents its true bleeding edge. In this course, you'll develop a clear understanding of the motivation for deep learning, and design intelligent systems that learn from complex and/or large-scale datasets. We'll show you how to train and optimize basic neural networks, convolutional neural networks, and long short term memory networks. Complete learning systems in TensorFlow will be introduced via projects and assignments. You will learn to solve new classes of problems that were once thought prohibitively challenging, and come to better appreciate the complex nature of human intelligence as you solve these same problems effortlessly using deep learning methods.
