There's no "Like" button, but if there was, consider it pressed. I've been working on a few algorthims for cross item comparision, where if click me is blue and banner is X size and the different combinations I want to test, So basically creating test sets over individual items which proves more coherent with web design. So I am more testing which random style sheet / page design still randomly provided and measured seems to get the most time, clicks, navigation, etc and pull all of those factors in for a scorecard I know seems like a bunch of work but once you have the scripts it works for any page / site you build from then on and having it automated saves so much time down the road, and talk about great stats to provide to your clients.

Artificial intelligence, machine learning, discovery algorithms… At this stage of human development we find ourselves gazing at a fantastic horizon, one where we have the opportunity to design intelligent entities -- robot brains. Will we design them in the image of our own neural networks? In today's research landscape, scientists are giving robots resilience and adaptability, deep learning and long-term modular memory. They're asking AI to perform complex tasks not so much with efficiency in mind as novelty. And guess what: it may change how we think about not only evolution, but the way we ourselves, as a network of individuals and organizations, approach innovation. Will we design for efficiency, our minds on reaching a fixed set of desired objectives -- or will we design for resilience, adaptability… emergence? We spoke with Jeff Clune of the Evolving AI Lab about how some of the emergent effects of machine learning are taking AI in a direction we didn't expect… and what it could potentially teach us about ourselves. Jeff's work has not gone unnoticed. He's been cited in Wired, the Atlantic, Nature, and Scientific American, to name a few.

BERLIN – Computers may have us beat at chess and checkers, but new research suggests our brains still have an edge when it comes to solving certain tricky problems thanks to a very human trait: intuition. Scientists in Denmark have found that people who played a game that simulated a complex calculation in physics sometimes did better than their silicon rivals. "The big surprise we had was that some of the players actually had solutions that were of high quality and of shorter duration than any computer algorithms could find," said Jacob Friis Sherson, a physicist at Aarhus University who co-wrote the study, published Wednesday in the journal Nature. Experts say the results could advance the quest to develop effective quantum computers, something most major universities and several tech companies are working on as they seek to accelerate processing power. Such computers use individual atoms to store information and it's hoped they could one day outperform even the fastest conventional silicon-based supercomputers.

Researchers have made tremendous progress in recent times in the ability of machines to understand the nuances of our language. For instance, we've seen machines developed that are capable of understanding things such as empathy, sarcasm, humor, and a range of other emotions. This understanding has even been compiled together to have machines automate the speech writing process (although the speaking part remains a challenge). A recent international team believe that a simple crossword puzzle can help us to develop robots with even greater language processing capabilities. Their recent study hypothesizes that if we can develop machines capable of understanding crossword clues, then it will go a long way to helping them understanding the complexities of human language.

DUBAI – The teaching methods of Kazuya Takahashi, 35, using Lego blocks and speaking entirely in English, may not be the norm in the Japanese education system. But on a global level, the educator, who teaches at the Kogakuin junior high and high schools in Hachioji, western Tokyo, is considered ahead of the game and has won recognition for his efforts to promote global citizenship. His methods may provide clues as to where education should be heading in Japan, a nation often criticized for focusing more on cramming knowledge rather than encouraging critical thinking. At the Global Education and Skills Forum in Dubai, which ran for two days from March 12, Takahashi gave a presentation as one of the 10 finalists for the Global Teacher Prize, known in the industry as the Nobel Prize in education. The event was attended by around 1,600 people from 110 nations.

NEW YORK – A paralyzed 24-year-old man has regained some use of his right hand, controlling it with signals relayed from electronic sensors in his brain. Ian Burkhart of Dublin, Ohio, can grasp a bottle, pour its contents into a jar, pick up a stick and stir the liquid. He can grab a credit card and swipe it through a reader. He can move individual fingers and hold a toothbrush. But he can do these things only for a few hours a week, in a laboratory where he is hooked up to an experimental device that interprets his brain signals and stimulates his muscles with electrodes on his forearm.

Computers may trounce humans at games like chess and Go, but there's one game we've still got a lock on: quantum physics. Scientists who had people play an online video game that mimicked a troublesome quantum mechanical problem found that the gamers were far better than the computers at working out viable solutions. The findings, published in the journal Nature, offer a surprisingly effective method of dealing with still-puzzling problems in quantum mechanics – and show that artificial intelligence may still have a lot to learn from the power of human intuition. Scientists have been working to develop quantum computers, which takes advantage of the bizarre ways in which matter behaves at the tiniest of scales. Quantum computers have the potential to vastly outstrip the abilities of conventional devices, allowing them to perform a wide range of complex tasks, from cracking encrypted codes to operating self-driving cars.

JEFFREY BROWN: Five years ago, as a college freshman, Ian Burkhart dove into a wave at a North Carolina beach and broke his neck on the sandy ocean floor, leaving him paralyzed from the chest down. Now, in a medical first, he has regained some movement in his hands and fingers through technology that communicates his thoughts directly to his hand muscles. It uses a tiny chip inserted in his brain and an electronic sleeve. Burkhart has learned to perform simple tasks, even playing a guitar video game. IAN BURKHART, Spinal Injury Victim: It is just something that is so fluid.

A laser engine could someday allow tiny robots to pull 150 times their own weight. At least, that's the implication of new research that has shown how lasers can give tiny drops of water superpowers. The laser technology could someday be used by scientists to deliver drugs to specific areas of the body, scientists claim. Scientists coated millimetre-sized drops of water in a nanometre-scale powder of polypyrrole, a water-repelling plastic which heats up when illuminated. New Scientist reports that the powder coating turned the drop into a liquid marble, with the fluid contained inside.

Toddler's brains are far more advanced than thought, a new study has found. Researchers discovered seven month old's have basic social skills - and can already understand what their parents are doing. It is the first time babies have been shown to not only observe, but understand social interactions. Researchers discovered seven month old's have basic social skills - and can already understand what their parents are doing. The study involved 36 seven-month-old infants, who were each tested while wearing a cap that used electroencephalography, or EEG, to measure brain activity.
