In this work, we present an application of Locally Interpretable Machine-Agnostic Explanations to 2-D chemical structures. Using this framework we are able to provide a structural interpretation for an existing black-box model for classifying biologically produced fuel compounds with regard to Research Octane Number. This method of "painting" locally interpretable explanations onto 2-D chemical structures replicates the chemical intuition of synthetic chemists, allowing researchers in the field to directly accept, reject, inform and evaluate decisions underlying inscrutably complex quantitative structure-activity relationship models.

Understanding neural networks is becoming increasingly important. Over the last few years different types of visualisation and explanation methods have been proposed. However, none of them explicitly considered the behaviour in the presence of noise and distracting elements. In this work, we will show how noise and distracting dimensions can influence the result of an explanation model. This gives a new theoretical insights to aid selection of the most appropriate explanation model within the deep-Taylor decomposition framework.

The miserable experience of fumbling for lost boarding passes and endless queuing at airports could finally be a thing of the past, as airports of the future will feature biometric tickets, virtual assistants and fast molecular security scanners. Designs for how airports could look in 25 years have been revealed - and they're not pie-in-the-sky because they include technology that is already being trialled and developed. The research shows how check-in - a major source of queues and frustration for travellers - will become an automated doddle by 2040. Visitors describe their experiences at Ireland's Killarney Park Vibrations from Route 66 road markings play'America the Beautiful' Here's a sneak peak of the Mediterranean Odyssey cruise Bizarre UFO-like object is spotted on NASA's satellite footage As well as online check-ins becoming far more common, passengers will be given a biometric token that will serve as their passport, boarding pass and ID for the journey, without having to keep hold of their separate documents, according to airport parking operator and retailer Airport Parking and Hotels (APH), who created the vision. In order to be issued with this token, each traveller will be scanned for biometric identifiers unique to them, such as iris patterns.

Eyewire Executive Director Amy Robinson Sterling will lead us through unprecedented scientific landscapes on humankind's neuroscientific journey of self-discovery, exploring the exciting prospects in blending machine intelligence and crowdsourced human intellect for the benefit of all. As a leading catalyst of neuroscience visualization spanning interactive web to virtual reality, Amy has advised the White House OSTP and the US Senate on crowdsourcing and open innovation. Fast Company credits her with "making neuroscience into a playground for today's hot tech du jour." Amy founded the TEDx Music Project (a collection of the best live music from TEDx events around the world), and was named one of Forbes' 30 Under 30 in 2015. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

After offering teachers early access to Minecraft: Education Edition this summer, Microsoft's classroom-friendly version of the immensely popular sandbox game was formally launched at the beginning of November. Not everyone is keen on Minecraft being used as a teaching tool, though, and ahead of Microsoft's UK launch event tomorrow, behavior expert for the government's Department for Education Tom Bennett has voiced his skepticism to The Times. "I am not a fan of Minecraft in lessons. This smacks to me of another gimmick which will get in the way of children actually learning," Bennett said. "Removing these gimmicky aspects of education is one of the biggest tasks facing us as teachers. We need to drain the swamp of gimmicks," he continued, mimicking some recent rhetoric from US President-elect Trump.

Today begins with the proliferation of political Twitter bots, testing Sony's pricey full-frame camera, tens of thousands of recipes from your Amazon Echo and LG's new phone for audiophiles. For a second, we forgot all about mirrorless shooters.24 Sony's A99 II is set to arrive later this month priced at $3,200, body-only. Edgar Alvarez says high-end lenses help make the most of the camera, but it's the autofocusing skills that are particularly impressive. Don't let its dull looks fool you, Senior Editor Chris Velazco says that beyond the V20's flagship-level power and slightly tweaked version of Android Nougat is a device tailor-made for creatives.

Days after unveiling the NSW Future Transport Technology Roadmap, Andrew Constance addressed the Salesforce Government Speaker Series. Tech will increasingly have a central role in the future of transport in NSW, according to NSW Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Andrew Constance. Salesforce has been working with Transport for NSW to help deliver improved customer services for 18 months, and Minister Constance addressed the Salesforce Government Speaker Series on Friday 4 November, just days after he unveiled the NSW Future Transport Technology Roadmap. The Roadmap brings the focus clearly to the customer – we're increasingly hearing and talking about the need for the public sector agencies to offer customer experiences on par with those of other businesses – and Minister Constance spoke of three key objectives: Developing and connecting real-time digital information, navigation, payment and engagement platforms so they are easier to understand and use, and can give personalised, individual service. Transforming mass-transit networks to improve efficiency and service frequency, and reduce transit times, making these services more attractive to our customers.

Just coming off a great week at Web Summit and Techonomy, where Artificial Intelligence was one of the major topics of discussion and debate. Tonight, I'm excited to kick off and host our 7th annual CIO and Innovation Forum, and we will have a variety of top leaders speaking on AI and related topics. Advances in AI continue to power forward at an unprecedented pace as businesses and organizations reimagine their futures. At Accenture we believe that AI is the most disruptive technology since the industrial revolution and holds vast potential to help people do things differently and do different things. We're just beginning to understand the potential of AI technologies like computer vision, natural language processing, machine learning, deep learning, knowledge representation, expert systems, biometrics and video analytics to drive once unimaginable change.

MOSUL, Iraq--Clashes between advancing Iraqi forces and ISIS militants in Mosul's Intisar and Aden neighborhoods continued on Sunday as the troops carried out a house-to-house search for remaining militants and explosives in liberated quarters. Nobody noticed the heist at the time, but they were caught – after the event. Myerson reckons intelligent agents could have prevented it happening in the first place. Glesni Holland reports from World of Watson 2016 in Las Vegas, where IBM executives unveiled the latest innovations in cognitive computing and demonstrated the impact that Watson can have – and is already having – on some of the world's most important industries. Following the successful launch of Elder Scroll 5: Skyrim Special Edition a few weeks ago, fans are too eager to stop speculating about what to expect from the upcoming game, The Elder Scroll 6.

There are many good reasons why traditional security practices are becoming less effective at protecting against cyberattacks. There is too much security-related data flooding the network from an increasing number of users and devices. There is a lack of skilled personnel to watch over and analyze this data. And the security staff you have likely wastes too much time chasing down false positives. Valuable minutes -- or even hours -- can tick by before analysts and incident responders are aware of a threat.
