The 21st century has opened up a boundless mass of headlines, articles, and stories. This information influx, however, is partially contaminated: Alongside factual, truthful content is fallacious, deliberately manipulated material from dubious sources. According to research by the European Research Council, one in four Americans visited at least one fake news article during the 2016 presidential campaign. This problem has recently been exacerbated by something called "automatic text generators." Advanced artificial intelligence software, like OpenAI's GPT-2 language model, is now being used for things like auto-completion, writing assistance, summarization, and more, and it can also be used to produce large amounts of false information -- fast.

HELIXRE announces the launch of Enhanced Cloud Technology, an application of geometric deep learning (GDL) to greatly increase the benefits of digital building plans. HELIXRE now applies GDL to distinguish contents of multi-billion point clouds to allow semantic understanding of building spaces, identifying specific elements like walls, floors, ceilings, furniture, and typical office clutter. Defining and isolating these elements means no one creates more accurate building clouds faster and more cost efficiently than HELIXRE. GDL is a relatively new and cutting-edge form of machine learning, overcoming limitations of convolutional neural networks that solve 2D problems like image recognition, but are not well suited to the complexity of 3D spaces. By creating superpoints, HELIXRE reduces the problem domain to a smaller set of points to which graph convolutions are applied.

Annually since 2016, Google has released a pair of flagship Pixel smartphones designed to showcase the very best of Android. This year was like any other with the debut of the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL, which ship running Android 10. But what's unusual this time around is that the newest duo's hardware is perhaps just as compelling as their software. Gone is the two-tone rear cover that featured prominently on the original Pixel, Pixel 2, and Pixel 3 series, replaced with polished and grippy Corning Gorilla Glass 5. It's easier to grasp ahold of than that of the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL, and it's more resistant to oily fingers and pocket lint. The Pixel 4 series is IP68 certified to withstand up to five feet of water for half an hour, which puts it on par with the outgoing Pixel 3 series. But both the Pixel 4 and the Pixel 4 XL are a good deal heavier than the Pixel 3 (5.71 The Pixel 4 series' frame is coated with a soft-touch material that's jet black on all three of the colorways -- Clearly White, Just Black, and the limited edition Oh So Orange. The haptics, which Google characterizes as "sharp and textured," feel great.

I found out about LSTM recently and was interested by it, so I read a lot of blogs and watched many videos about it. From what I learned, I know that the cell state serves as the memory of the network, but what exactly should the initial value of the cell state be equal to? For example, if I'm trying to predict the last word of the sentence: "My favorite car is _______", where each of the word will be the input value in a form of vector. The cell state of the current cell is some function of the cell state from the previous step. So in this case, what should be the cell state when the input is "My"?

A Lexus advertisement has become a part of folklore in advertisement circles. Well, it is the world's first ad to be scripted by AI. The system fed on data from many past advertisements of many other luxury products and came up with a script. The ad showed an engineer marveling at his creation who then turns sad as his creation, the automobile is taken away from him to be subjected to a grueling test. In the end, the power brakes that he has built into the car saves the day.

In 50 years, scientists will fully understand how non-coding DNA and other mechanisms control the expression of the coding DNA. This will enable them to program in DNA code, making it possible to create any form of life that they wanted. This technology could be used for either great, good, or evil. It is likely that artificial intelligence and machine learning will be used to learn all the secrets of creating life. I think back to the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey.

The decrease in demand for manpower owing to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and allied technology resulting in job cuts, has been an area of concern.
