Hitting the Books: How 3D printing helped make cosplay costumes even more accurate

Engadget

Additive manufacturing is one of the most important technological advances of the 21st century. It's revolutionized the way we build everything from airplanes and wind turbines to medical implants and nano-machinery -- not to mention the tidal wave of creativity unleashed once the tech made its way into the maker community. In Cosplay: A History, veteran cosplayer and 501st Legion member, Andrew Liptak explores the theatrical origins of the craft and its evolution from costuming enthusiasm to full-fledged fandom. Liptak also looks at how advances in technology have impacted the cosplay community -- whether that's the internet forums and social media platforms they use to connect, the phones and cameras they use to publicize their works, and, in the excerpt below, the 3D printers used to create costume components. Excerpted from Cosplay: A History - The Builders, Fans, and Makers Who Bring Your Favorite Stories to Life by Andrew Liptak, published by Simon & Schuster.

Synthetic data getting serious for biometrics training

#artificialintelligence

Synthetic data created by artificial intelligence systems, for AI systems is a growing market, as general adversarial networks (GANs) are used to train facial recognition and other biometric algorithms. The Washington Post profiles a company called Yuty, and the path it took to providing synthetic facial datasets, and reports that it is one of around 50 startups in the space. The Post notes that Gartner has forecast 60 percent of all AI training data will be synthetic by 2024. Amazon recently revealed that it relied heavily on synthetic data to train its palm biometrics. In a similar vein, OpenAI's DALL-E machine learning tool has updated a policy to allow its users to share synthetic facial images, after the tool's developers built in mechanisms to prevent its use in creating deepfakes, according to Vice.

Best 15 real-life examples of machine learning - Dataconomy

#artificialintelligence

Numerous examples of machine learning show that machine learning (ML) can be extremely useful in a variety of crucial applications, including data mining, natural language processing, picture recognition, and expert systems. In all of these areas and more, ML offers viable solutions, and it is destined to be a cornerstone of our post-apocalyptic civilization. The history of machine learning shows that a good grasp of the machine learning lifecycle increase machine learning benefits for businesses significantly. There are many uncommon machine learning examples that prove this, and you will find the best ones in this article. Machine learning uses statistical methods to increase a computer's intelligence, assisting in the automatic utilization of all business data. Due to growing reliance on machine learning technologies, humans' lifestyles have undergone a significant transformation. We use Google Assistant, which uses ML principles, as an example.


Joseph Weizenbaum - Wikipedia

#artificialintelligence

Joseph Weizenbaum (8 January 1923 – 5 March 2008) was a German American computer scientist and a professor at MIT. The Weizenbaum Award is named after him. He is considered one of the fathers of modern artificial intelligence. Born in Berlin, Germany to Jewish parents, he escaped Nazi Germany in January 1936, emigrating with his family to the United States. He started studying mathematics in 1941 at Wayne State University, in Detroit, Michigan.


The Quarry Blurs the Line Between Video Games and Cinema

WIRED

When the new teaser trailer for Avatar: The Way of Water--the next entry in James Cameron's CGI-heavy film franchise--came out, many viewers opined that the footage resembles a video game. As praise or pejorative, that comparison is a touch hyperbolic. Yet it signals, too, the perceived overlap between the video game and film industries, which have increasingly come to share technological, narrative, and visual approaches. Multiplex screens are nowadays laden with game-like images--exceptions exist, but a sense of green-screened unreality certainly abounds, whether you're watching an explosion-rich action film or a well-paced drama. Other ideas also flow freely across mediums: Games and movies alike have set their watches to Matrix-style "bullet time" effects; both forms have shaken up their cameras à la Bourne; and as virtuosic a filmmaker as Brian De Palma has marveled at how certain games have deftly repurposed cinema's roaming, first-person point-of-view shots.
