The platform will be the integral part of Image Search Engine for Image Referral Network and Image Ad Network, to automate generation and placement of highly-relevant targeted ads based on images in a large scale for the first time in the industry. ZAC's AI Discovery platform can also be used for other types of images, data, or objects, e.g., clothing, purse, accessories, medical images, satellite images, and biometrics. ZAC has an impressive team of scientists and developers. The software development is headed by Saied Tadayon, a veteran software developer and scientist, who got PhD from Cornell at age 23. One of ZAC's inventors is Prof. Lotfi A. Zadeh ("The Father of Fuzzy Logic"), a pioneer computer scientist at U.C. Berkeley.

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

When we first began working on Leada, we sought to better understand the data science industry by interviewing professionals in the field. As students simply wanting to learn more about data science, we ultimately created a free resource to inform both undergraduates and professionals about the data science industry. We accomplished this by having Q & A interviews with experts such as Mike Olsen, Hal Varian, Tom Davenport, and data scientists at LinkedIn, Facebook, Yelp, and more. The Data Analytics Handbook was not only instrumental in giving us the understanding we needed to feel confident in what we were creating; but was downloaded over 25,000 times, gave us dozens of contacts, and an immediate group of early adopters. Some experts took longer to contact than others (I emailed Hal Varian over 8 times) but you would be surprised who you can get 25 minutes of time to help inform others.

So he and his business partner, Dan Roth, decided to create a program that would help lawyers manage electronic documents for litigation. Their idea led them to purchase an e-discovery application. By 2000, Leib and his partner launched their own creation, Discovery Cracker. "We saw a gap in the marketplace," Leib says. Lawyers need tools to keep up with it." Instead of wading through piles of paper, lawyers now deal with terabytes of data and hundreds of thousands of documents. E-discovery, legal research and document review are more sophisticated due to the abundance of data. So while working as chief strategy officer at kCura in Chicago, Leib saw a need again in the market. "For years, lawyers have been stuck with antiquated tools that focus primarily … on Boolean search. Better tools are needed to truly understand data." "What is the future of the industry?

I fell in love with Machine Learning during my Master degree in Telecommunications Engineering and Information Technology. Since then I could never live without it and I see the world with different eyes. I have always been very fascinated by math and statistics, by how sometimes a very simple equation will describe extremely complex phenomena, how we can squeeze nature into a formula; at the same time my mind has always been captured by those phenomena, often very simple and part of our daily life reasoning and acting, that can't be represented by any mathematical form, no matter how convoluted. The idea of seeing the world through numbers has always exercised a certain spell on me. Then I discovered Machine Learning.

In addition to work authored by humans, it also considers the literary output of artificial intelligence software. And the results of the latter are--surprisingly and scarily--not that bad. Researchers from Japan's Future University Hakodate submitted a short story called "The Day a Computer Writes a Novel," or "Konpyuta ga shosetsu wo kaku hi," and it comes across as something a human might have written (though not perhaps a human called Jonathan Franzen): I writhed with joy, which I experienced for the first time, and kept writing with excitement. The day a computer wrote a novel. The computer, placing priority on the pursuit of its own joy, stopped working for humans. The prize was created in the memory of Hoshi Shinichi, a science fiction writer whose novels include The Whimsical Robot.

When the artificial intelligence, AlphaGo, beat Go champion Lee Seedol at his own game, it created history. AlphaGo didn't just beat Lee at Go, it won four games out of five, an unprecedented victory that many hadn't expected. AlphaGo's neural networks took thousands of Go matches, played by human players, and added its own learning on top of that, to come out with moves that even a legend like Lee Seedol didn't expect. But is AlphaGo the breakthrough in machine learning that the world has been waiting for? We talked to David Silver, Research Scientist, Google Deep Mind, to learn the same.

People try all sorts to impress others with their online dating profiles. But posing on a mountain or next to a puppy, although favoured by many, might not be the most effective way to woo someone. A new study shows that the way to impress with your dating profiles is make yourself appear as wide as possible. A new study has found that the way to impress at first sight is to make yourself appear as wide as possible. A group of researchers in the US showed that people are rated more attractive when they take a wide stance.

According to an EY report, the average age globally for a newly minted CFO is 42. Unsurprisingly, they're a highly educated bunch, with 27% of CFO's surveyed having completed an MBA and 27% holding a chartered accountancy qualification. Highly educated talent with years of experience usually doesn't come cheap. And for small to medium businesses, this could mean forking out a salary in the range of 130,000 to 250,000 to land themselves a C-Suite financial executive. So with CFO's trading at premium, is there any way the knowledge, analytical brains and strategic insights a CFO possesses could be mass produced for less? For companies turning over between 1M to 5M per year, deep learning, big data and AI is quite possibly the answer.
