Lip-Reading Drones, Emotion-Detecting Cameras: How AI Is Changing The World
AI can now flag people based on their clothing, behaviour or race, log an individual's emotions, understand their actions and predict their next move. It can detect when luggage is left unattended, or if someone is loitering; it can even recognise when an individual is acting'unusual' based on others around them. AI is everywhere and getting more advanced every day. Facial recognition technology, in particular, has made leaps and bounds, partially thanks to tagged photographs on Facebook and Instagram as well as government-collected images such as drivers licenses and ID cards. The quality of cameras has also drastically improved, so much so that they no longer just record, they can'see' in real-time.
CalBehav: A Machine Learning based Personalized Calendar Behavioral Model using Time-Series Smartphone Data
Sarker, Iqbal H., Colman, Alan, Han, Jun, Kayes, A. S. M., Watters, Paul
The electronic calendar is a valuable resource nowadays for managing our daily life appointments or schedules, also known as events, ranging from professional to highly personal. Researchers have studied various types of calendar events to predict smartphone user behavior for incoming mobile communications. However, these studies typically do not take into account behavioral variations between individuals. In the real world, smartphone users can differ widely from each other in how they respond to incoming communications during their scheduled events. Moreover, an individual user may respond the incoming communications differently in different contexts subject to what type of event is scheduled in her personal calendar. Thus, a static calendar-based behavioral model for individual smartphone users does not necessarily reflect their behavior to the incoming communications. In this paper, we present a machine learning based context-aware model that is personalized and dynamically identifies individual's dominant behavior for their scheduled events using logged time-series smartphone data, and shortly name as ``CalBehav''. The experimental results based on real datasets from calendar and phone logs, show that this data-driven personalized model is more effective for intelligently managing the incoming mobile communications compared to existing calendar-based approaches.

Mizgajski, Jan, Szymczak, Adrian, Gลowski, Robert, Szymaลski, Piotr, ลปelasko, Piotr, Augustyniak, ลukasz, Morzy, Mikoลaj, Carmiel, Yishay, Hodson, Jeff, Wรณjciak, ลukasz, Smoczyk, Daniel, Wrรณbel, Adam, Borowik, Bartosz, Artajew, Adam, Baran, Marcin, Kwiatkowski, Cezary, ลปyลa-Hoppe, Marzena
Avaya Conversational Intelligence (ACI) is an end-to-end, cloud-based solution for real-time Spoken Language Understanding for call centers. It combines large vocabulary, real-time speech recognition, transcript refinement, and entity and intent recognition in order to convert live audio into a rich, actionable stream of structured events. These events can be further leveraged with a business rules engine, thus serving as a foundation for real-time supervision and assistance applications. After the ingestion, calls are enriched with unsupervised keyword extraction, abstractive summarization, and business-defined attributes, enabling offline use cases, such as business intelligence, topic mining, full-text search, quality assurance, and agent training. ACI comes with a pretrained, configurable library of hundreds of intents and a robust intent training environment that allows for efficient, cost-effective creation and customization of customer-specific intents.
Targeted Example Generation for Compilation Errors
Ahmed, Umair Z., Sindhgatta, Renuka, Srivastava, Nisheeth, Karkare, Amey
The repaired code example in Figure 3b deletes assignment operator " ", and inserts an equality operator " ". Hence its set of repair tokens are {, - }. D. Error Repair Class Given a buggy source program that suffers from compilation errors ( E s) which require a set of repair tokens ( R s) to fix, its error-repair class ( C) is defined as the merged set of errors and repairs {E s R s}. For example, the erroneous-repaired code pair in Figure 3 belongs to C 8 {E 10 - }, the 8 th most frequently occurring error-repair class. We determine the error-repair class of the 23, 275 erroneous-repaired code pairs in our dataset. Table III lists the error-repair classes ( C s) sorted in decreasing order of frequency, along with the number of buggy programs belonging to each class.

How Artificial Intelligence Can Change Higher Education
On the day I met Sebastian Thrun in Palo Alto, the State of California legalized self-driving cars. Gov. Jerry Brown arrived at the Google campus in one of the company's computer-controlled Priuses to sign the bill into law. "California is a big deal," said Thrun, the founder of Google's autonomous-car program, "because it tends to be hard to legislate here." He said it with typical understatement. An idea that was in its technological infancy a decade ago, when Thrun and his colleagues were racing to develop a vehicle that could drive itself more than a few miles on a desert test course, was now being officially sanctioned by the country's most populous state.

How to Build a Recommender Engine for Medical Research Papers
In 2006, Netflix, which was then a DVD rental service, announced a data science competition for movie rating predictions. The company would offer a $1 million grand prize to the team that could improve their existing recommender system's prediction accuracy by 10%. The competition garnered much interest from researchers and engineers in both academia and industry. Within the first year of the competition, over 40,000 teams from more than 100 countries had entered the competition [1]. In June 2009, the prize was awarded to BellKor's Pragmatic Chaos, a team of AT&T engineers, who submitted the winning algorithm a few minutes earlier than the second-place team [2].
Mathematics for Machine Learning
Please link to this site using https://mml-book.com. We wrote a book on Mathematics for Machine Learning that motivates people to learn mathematical concepts. The book is not intended to cover advanced machine learning techniques because there are already plenty of books doing this. Instead, we aim to provide the necessary mathematical skills to read those other books. The book will be published by Cambridge University Press in early 2020.
AI-powered cameras become new tool against mass shootings
In this July 30, 2019, photo, Paul Hildreth, emergency operations coordinator for the Fulton County School District, works in the emergency operations center at the Fulton County School District Administration Center in Atlanta. Artificial Intelligence is transforming surveillance cameras from passive sentries into active observers that can immediately spot a gunman, alert retailers when someone is shoplifting and help police quickly find suspects. Schools, such as the Fulton County School District, are among the most enthusiastic adopters of the technology. Paul Hildreth peered at a display of dozens of images from security cameras surveying his Atlanta school district and settled on one showing a woman in a bright yellow shirt walking a hallway. A mouse click instructed the artificial intelligence-equipped system to find other images of the woman, and it immediately stitched them into a video narrative of where she was currently, where she had been and where she was going. There was no threat, but Hildreth's demonstration showed what's possible with AI-powered cameras.
