US Air Force building radar 'space fence' that will keep American satellites safe
The US Air Force is working on a'space fence' to protect spacecraft from orbiting junk. It plans to activate it in just under two years to replace a similar system that was shut down in 2013. While the military has dubbed the system a'fence', it is in fact a radar system that sends signal into space to track objects the size of a tennis ball.

Critical Care
Identification of patients with overt cardiorespiratory insufficiency or at high risk of impending cardiorespiratory insufficiency is often difficult outside the venue of directly observed patients in highly staffed areas of the hospital, such as the operating room, intensive care unit (ICU) or emergency department. And even in these care locations, identification of cardiorespiratory insufficiency early or predicting its development beforehand is often challenging. The clinical literature has historically prized early recognition of cardiorespiratory insufficiency and its prompt correction as being valuable at minimizing patient morbidity and mortality while simultaneously reducing healthcare costs. Recent data support the statement that integrated monitoring systems that create derived fused parameters of stability or instability using machine learning algorithms, accurately identify cardiorespiratory insufficiency and can predict their occurrence. In this overview, we describe integrated monitoring systems based on established machine learning analysis using various established tools, including artificial neural networks, k?nearest neighbor, support vector machine, random forest classifier and others on routinely acquired non?invasive and invasive hemodynamic measures to identify cardiorespiratory insufficiency and display them in real?time with a high degree of precision.
Robots have been about to take all the jobs for more than 200 years -- Timeline
In it, the king of automation made some optimistic predictions about machines creating more jobs than they take away--in retrospect, very prescient. In 1940, the President of MIT, Karl Compton and President Franklin D. Roosevelt clashed over the question. As chronicled by the Times, the president of MIT didn't see a problem whereas the nation's president did. The same year a US senator suggested a tax on machines to offset the unemployment they may cause. "Who will have the last laugh in the gadget age -- man or machine?," asked Pulitzer Prize-winning AP writer Hal Boyle in 1949.
Google goes to France's highest court over global 'right to be forgotten' ruling
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
Underwater robot hunts bombs
The sea wasp, a kind of jellyfish, can kill people in as little as three minutes by wrapping them in ten-foot-long tentacles and inflicting stings all over the body, injecting them with a potent and extremely painful venom. Saab has developed technology named after this terrifying creature-- in the form of a robot that will be able to discover and tackle bombs hidden underwater off U.S. shores and near American vessels. To test its Sea Wasp technology, Saab has partnered with the Combating Terrorism Technical Support Office. The U.S. Navy Explosive Ordnance Divers Group 2, the FBI Counter-IED Section, and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division's Counter-Terrorist Operations Maritime Response Unit will all be testing the Sea Wasp over the next 10 to 12 months. The threat of improvised explosive devices underwater continues to grow.

AIยฒ: Detecting Cyber-Attacks with Artificial Intelligence
In a new paper, researchers from CSAIL and the machine-learning start-up PatternEx have demonstrated an artificial-intelligence platform called "AIยฒ" that can predict 85% of cyber-attacks, by continuously incorporating input from human experts. To predict attacks, AIยฒ combs through data and detects suspicious activity by clustering the data into meaningful patterns using unsupervised machine-learning. It then presents this activity to human analysts who confirm which events are actual attacks, and incorporates that feedback into its models for the next set of data.

The government explores artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) via predictive analytics is a game-changer. At last week's Kentucky Derby, an AI platform that had previously predicted the winners of the Oscars and Super Bowl predicted the Kentucky Derby superfecta. The AI platform predicted the first-, second-, third- and fourth-place horses at 540-1 odds, netting the technology's inventor Louis Rosenberg 10,842 on a 20 bet. How will this translate to the federal government? In addition, a new National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) Subcommittee on Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence was established to monitor state-of-the-art advances and technology milestones in AI and machine learning within the federal government.
