Ringling Bros. circus star who performs by the name Nick Nack walks Fox News Digital through the process of learning a balancing act called rola bola, which he combines with many other talents, like juggling and comedy. Jan Damm performs as Nick Nack in the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus show. His character has a large comedic presence, but he also has other tricks up his sleeve. Damm performs a balancing act called rola bola and is a master juggler. He is also joined on stage by a unique partner, a robotic dog named Bailey.

In an age where artificial intelligence is being promoted as the next big thing, we're incessantly told about how robots will soon replace humans and everyone will be out of a job. That hasn't happened quite yet. This year, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus has returned, and is touring for the first time since closing seven years ago. But, this isn't the Ringling Bros. you may remember from when you were a kid. There are no more horses, zero tigers, and elephants are no where to be found.

We introduce a frustratingly simple, super efficient and surprisingly effective decoding method, which we call Frustratingly Simple Decoding (FSD), for neural text generation. The idea behind FSD is straightforward: we build an anti-LM based on previously generated text and use this anti-LM to penalize future generation of what has been generated. The anti-LM can be implemented as simple as an n-gram language model or a vectorized variant. In this way, FSD introduces no extra model parameters and negligible computational overhead (FSD can be as fast as greedy search). Despite the simplicity, FSD is surprisingly effective; Experiments show that FSD can outperform the canonical methods to date (i.e., nucleus sampling) as well as several strong baselines that were proposed recently.

Delicious, rich in potassium and come with their own, biodegradable packaging; bananas are truly one of the ultimate snacks. And it's not just humans who think so, as the fruit is a popular delicacy with much of the animal kingdom, including gorillas, bats and elephants. Most of the time, elephants will scoop up bananas with their trunk and put the whole thing into their mouths. However, one particularly picky Asian elephant at Berlin Zoo appears to not enjoy eating the fruit's tough skin, as she has learnt how to peel it off. Incredible footage reveals how Pang Pha squeezes the banana to break off its top, shakes out its contents, discards the peel, picks up the soft pulp and pops it into her mouth.

The acquisition of commonsense knowledge is an important open challenge in artificial intelligence. In this work-in-progress paper, we study the task of automatically augmenting commonsense knowledge bases (KBs) with novel statements. We show empirically that obtaining meaningful negative samples for the completion task is nontrivial, and propose NegatER, a framework for generating negative commonsense knowledge, to address this challenge. In our evaluation we demonstrate the intrinsic value and extrinsic utility of the knowledge generated by NegatER, opening up new avenues for future research in this direction.

A Chinese wildlife park has sparked outcry after making visitors submit to facial recognition scanning, with one law professor taking it to court. Professor Guo Bing is taking action against Hangzhou safari park, after it replaced its existing fingerprinting system with the new technology. "I [filed this case] because I feel that not only my [privacy] rights are being infringed upon but those of many others," Guo, from Zhejiang University of Sci-Tech, said according to an audio recording of an interview posted by state-run Beijing News. Guo is attempting to force the park to return the money he paid for an annual pass and highlight its misuse of data gathered by the software. A court in Fuyang has accepted his case.

Types of Znodes There are three types of znodes or nodes: Persistent, Ephermal and Sequential. Types of Znodes - Persistent Such kind of znodes remain in zookeeper untill deleted. This is the default type of znode. Though it is tied to client's session but it is visible to the other users. An ephermal node can not have children not even ephermal children.

Facial recognition technology which is normally used to tag people in online photos after a night out is being trialled to help save elephants.

What do queues, zoos, and machine learning have in common? Marwell Zoo is building better beds for their animals with IoT and machine learning. Using Watson IoT Platform, the park's keepers are working in tandem with IBM, designing a better way to reduce energy consumption. Can machine learning be used to create better conditions for animals at Marwell Zoo? The question first emerged after Andy Stanford-Clark, CTO for IBM UK & Ireland, presented an introduction to Internet of Things at a UK Chamber of Commerce conference in February 2017.
