How AI Could Help You Learn Sign Language

#artificialintelligence

Sign languages aren't easy to learn and are even harder to teach. They use not just hand gestures but also mouthings, facial expressions and body posture to communicate meaning. This complexity means professional teaching programmes are still rare and often expensive. But this could all change soon, with a little help from artificial intelligence (AI). My colleagues and I are working on software for teaching yourself sign languages in an automated, intuitive way.


Signal to Noise: Understanding the State of Machine Learning Services โ€ข Filestack Blog

#artificialintelligence

Getting past the buzzwords to the meat of what is on offer in the machine learning services landscape isn't easy. That's why we've put together a little guide to help you understand how you can start utilizing real and true machine learning to accelerate your business. Lots of buzzwords these days actually reference open-source machine learning platforms and libraries, which often require knowledge of computer science, statistics, linear algebra, calculus and sometimes even more arcane math to fully utilize. These are separate from the technologies built on top of them, but can get conflated in the media landscape. Tensorflow is the (mostly) open-source library that Google maintains and presumably builds their internal and external machine learning services with.


Mountaineer develops new model for environmental and energy uses โ€“ Tech Check News

#artificialintelligence

A new machine-learning model developed by a West Virginia University student has the potential for energy, environmental and even healthcare applications. The model, which can be used to predict the adsorption energies, i.e. adhesive capabilities in gold nanoparticles, was developed by Gihan Panapitiya, a doctoral physics student from Sri Lanka. Gold nanoparticles have historically been used by artists to bring out vibrant colors via their interaction with light. Now they are increasingly used in high technology applications, electronic conductors and others. "Machine learning recently came into the spotlight, and we wanted to do something linking machine learning with gold nanoparticles as catalysts," he said.


In a First, IIT Hyderabad to Offer B.Tech. in Artificial Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad is introducing a new B. Tech. It is the first such full-fledged B. Tech. Even internationally, only select institutions like Carnegie Mellon University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) are currently offering similar courses, claimed IIT Hyderabad in a press release. According to a report in NDTV, the B.Tech. in Artificial Intelligence course will intake 20 students each year, who will be selected through the JEE Advanced entrance examination that the students across the country take every year to get admission in the graduate courses at the IITs. Commenting on the new course, Prof U.B. Desai, Director, IIT Hyderabad, said, "The basic aim is to create a complete ecosystem for Artificial Intelligence Academics and Research at IIT Hyderabad. Moreover, the R&D will be strongly entwined with academics."


IIT Hyderabad to Launch B-Tech in Artificial Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

Hyderabad: A full-fledged B-Tech programme in Artificial Intelligence would be introduced by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad, from the coming academic year. Admission to the course with an intake of around 20 students would be through the JEE-Advanced, a release said here. IIT Hyderabad has become the first Indian Educational Institution to offer such a course in AI. The mission of the Department of Artificial Intelligence, IIT Hyderabad, is to produce students with a sound understanding of the fundamentals of theory and practice of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, it said. IIT Hyderabad is already offering an M-Tech course in Artificial Intelligence Machine Learning.


Convolution Forgetting Curve Model for Repeated Learning

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

ABSTRACT: Most of mathematic forgetting curve models fit well with the forgetting data under the learning condition of one time rather than repeated. In the paper, a convolution model of forgetting curve is proposed to simulate the memory process during learning. In this model, the memory ability (i.e. the central procedure in the working memory model) and learning material (i.e. the input in the working memory model) is regarded as the system function and the input function, respectively. The status of forgetting (i.e. the output in the working memory model) is regarded as output function or the convolution result of the memory ability and learning material. The model is applied to simulate the forgetting curves in different situations. The results show that the model is able to simulate the forgetting curves not only in one time learning condition but also in multi-times condition. The model is further verified in the experiments of Mandarin tone learning for Japanese learners. And the predicted curve fits well on the test points. Keywords: Memory forgetting curves; Convolution; Mathematical modeling 1.Introduction Since Ebbinghaus proposed the eminent'forgetting curve' to quantitatively describe the procedure of memory [1], researchers have made great effort to find out the exactly form of the models for forgetting curve. The problem is still being considered as'central theoretical importance' [2].


Business ethics in the age of artificial intelligence and big data

#artificialintelligence

Amazon's decision to build its HQ2 in Long Island City โ€“ and bring as many as 25,000 jobs to the region โ€“ has generated a host of reactions, ranging from elation about what it does for the region's economic development to condemnation and cries of crony capitalism. While those issues are debated, the online retailer's presence presents a tremendous opportunity for business, higher education and political leaders to address the real challenges of the new economy as defined by innovation, entrepreneurship and technological change. Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) โ€“ that is, machines that can think and learn โ€“ analytics, automation and tracking increasingly will be integrated into just about every aspect of business. All of this underscores the importance of re-examining business ethics. We must train the next-generation workforce to understand that ethical leadership and empathy matter.


Top 5 Resources for Data Science and Machine Learning

#artificialintelligence

Data is the new oil. And Machine Learning is the fire. Whoever controls these two will control the world. No, the above is not some pompous phrase picked up from a dystopian novel. The new world order is all about collecting vast amounts of relevant data and processing it into actionable insights -- something the human race hasn't been able to do in history.
