Dr Victoria Talwar explores how you should you deal with your child lying

Daily Mail - Science & tech

How should you deal with your child lying? Lies begin around the age of three, often to escape getting in trouble But telling lies doesn't necessarily mean the child is badly behaved Dr Victoria Talwar, a developmental psychologist expert says that recognising the motives behind the lies is key But telling lies doesn't necessarily mean the child is badly behaved From'it wasn't me', to'Dad said I could do it', children begin pushing their luck with lies from a young age.

Move over James Bond: World's first commercially available... If a child were presented with two blocks painted black, one made of wood and one made of lead, they could work out their basic properties through playing with them. So why can't machines learn the same way? Earlier this week, researchers in Italy launched a new project to develop robots which learn by themselves, using a form of open open-ended machine learning.

Russia unveils killer robots that can seek and shoot humans... How slimeballs slither: Watch the bizarre'slimelapse' that... With the addition of tritium, the Z Machine's already neutron high upper limit will be pushed much farther, emitting 80 times the amount of neutrons. The Z Machine has long been used to provide crucial information for computer simulations that test the readiness of America's nuclear stockpile, and to recreate the conditions at stars and the cores of planets.


Mysterious chunk of 'Chinese' space debris crash lands in Myanmar

How an Indian firm predicted a Trump victory when every American pollster got it wrong

ZDNet

It is the end of polling as we know it. But all of these pundits and pollsters, who with their fancy mathematical models and surveys and assumptions pontificated endlessly in this, their finest hour, only to get it absolutely, disastrously wrong, seem to be facing not just widespread opprobrium, but maybe even their demise. In an era where self-driving cars promise to soon swarm down roads and Black Mirror is the hottest show on Netflix, it is only appropriate that an algorithm created by a Mumbai-based company MogIA called the election correctly on October 28. It did so with both the Democratic and Republican primaries this year and with three of the last US Presidential elections (although there's been no public verification of those results). As MogIA's creator Sanjiv Rai explained it to CNBC when he sent them his results in late October, MogIA (named after Rudyard Kipling's Mowgli) plumbs the vast and endless terrain offered by social media to make sense of national sentiments.


BSides Lisbon - Data science, machine learning and cybersecurity

#artificialintelligence

In this talk we will present some techniques that we use on a day to day basis in our research, where we combine our internet-wide data scanning and acquisition platform with ML/Data science techniques which allows us to find things faster or extract results in a more automated way. We will focus on practical cases and examples that even our audience at home will be able to use if they want. A couple of examples we will look at is how to classify images such as VNC screenshots, we will look at network scans and using machine learning to classify them and also the use of natural language processing to analyze CVEs. We will also talk a bit about a data analysis and classification pipeline architecture, we will look at the different technologies and what they do and how they can be used. We will start by giving a very brief entry to the data science world and talk about: Technologies Techniques How these relate to infosec Algorithms and how they can be used How people can come into the world of data and machine learning Data visualization techniques and what are the best choices for different types of data A couple of examples we will look at is how to classify images such as VNC or x11 screenshots, OCR, we will look at network scans and using machine learning to classify them and also the use of natural language processing to analyze CVEs.


Symantec launches endpoint protection solution based on artificial intelligence ZDNet

#artificialintelligence

Symantec has launched Endpoint Protection 14, a new security solution which harnesses artificial intelligence to protect clients. Announced on November 1, the new security offering is powered by AI and machine learning on the endpoint and in the cloud. Symantec says that by harnessing machine learning to collate data and detect patterns and anomalies which may indicate a cyberattack, AI provides "a multi-layered solution able to stop advanced threats and respond at the endpoint regardless of how the attack is launched." Symantec Endpoint Protection combines machine learning, memory exploit mitigation, and threat intelligence provided by Symantec and Blue Coat, which combined their research and security operations in October after Symantec completed the acquisition of Blue Coat for $4.6 billion. The company also says that the solution is capable of 99.9 percent efficacy, low false positives, and a 70 percent carbon footprint reduction in comparison to past endpoint software.


Why it's so hard to create unbiased artificial intelligence

#artificialintelligence

Ben Dickson is a software engineer and the founder of TechTalks. As artificial intelligence and machine learning mature and manifest their potential to take on complicated tasks, we've become somewhat expectant that robots can succeed where humans have failed -- namely, in putting aside personal biases when making decisions. But as recent cases have shown, like all disruptive technologies, machine learning introduces its own set of unexpected challenges and sometimes yields results that are wrong, unsavory, offensive and not aligned with the moral and ethical standards of human society. While some of these stories might sound amusing, they do lead us to ponder the implications of a future where robots and artificial intelligence take on more critical responsibilities and will have to be held responsible for the possibly wrong decisions they make. At its core, machine learning uses algorithms to parse data, extract patterns, learn and make predictions and decisions based on the gleaned insights.


On His Way Out, US Transportation Chief Anthony Foxx Sets Drones Free

WIRED

Anthony Foxx waits for the countdown, then hits the plunger. The catapult releases its bungee cord, slinging the drone from to a standstill to 50 mph in half a second. The drone spins up its twin propellers and flies a few hundred feet up, circling overhead. "That's amazing," Foxx says, as the UAV drops its package within a few feet of the practice delivery zone, then belly flops onto a brown landing pad that resembles the base of a jumping castle. During the closing months of his four-year run as US Secretary of Transportation, Foxx has come to California on a fact finding mission.
