Paul Matthews, freelance tech writer, writes about examples of machine learning across the the healthcare, entertainment, marketing and education industries. From front end development to the automotive sector, the applications of machine learning for business purposes is bigger than ever. Examples of machine learning in the real world include recommendation engines, object detection, natural language processing, and more. Let's analyse five interesting examples of how ML is being used to deliver better online experiences and advance healthcare and education. Companies like Universal, Sony and EMI have gone through a massive digitalization in the past 10 years, evolving from "selling a certain number of records" to "streaming that record for'n' number of times". Monetization via ads through plays on portals like Youtube, Spotify and Soundcloud is something sought after.

Facebook says it is banning "deepfake" videos, the false but realistic clips created with artificial intelligence and sophisticated tools, as it steps up efforts to fight online manipulation. But the policy leaves plenty of loopholes. The social network said late Monday that it's beefing up its policies for removing videos edited or synthesized in ways that aren't apparent to the average person, and which could dupe someone into thinking the video's subject said something he or she didn't actually say. Created by artificial intelligence or machine learning, deepfakes combine or replace content to create images that can be almost impossible to tell are not authentic. "While these videos are still rare on the internet, they present a significant challenge for our industry and society as their use increases," Facebook's vice president of global policy management, Monika Bickert, said in a blog post.

New Netflix and Chess applications have once again illustrated the range and potential of OpenAI's GPT-2 language model. GPT-2 became an overnight sensation when OpenAI released it in February 2019, receiving critical acclaim worldwide. GPT-2 is a successor to GPT, a large transformer-based language model with 1.5 million parameters and trained on 8 million web pages. GPT-2 can automatically generate coherent paragraphs of text, basically predicting the next word given previous words. One of the big challenges for language models is domain-specific datasets that involve a lot of expert knowledge. That's GPT-2's charm point -- it seems free of such constraints, outperforming other language models on specific domains like Wikipedia, news, or books without using any domain-specific training datasets.

MSI's MEG Aegis Ti5 is the latest gaming PC that has been introduced by MSI that comes with one of the most amazing designs for a gaming PC. The design for the MSI's MEG Aegis Ti5 is reminiscent of the GLaDOS that was introduced in Portal Games or the AI Mother from the movie I Am Mother. The new MSI's MEG Aegis Ti5 also is packed with many amazing features of a gaming PC. MSI has made claims that this is the first machine in the market that is compatible with the 5-G desktop and also presents the Gaming Dial, which is a small display on the PC's front that can allow a gamer to control their monitor and system at the same time. The market of PC gaming is no stranger when it comes to getting inspiration from the sci-fi related cultures but MSI took the MSI's MEG Aegis Ti5 to a whole another level.

Rideshare company Lyft has open sourced its orchestration engine Flyte, the secret sauce of its machine learning pipeline management.

Neon's "artificial humans" look real. Neon's super realistic digital people are real. The mysterious company, emerging from the Samsung Technology and Advanced Research Labs (aka STAR Labs), debuted late Monday at CES 2020 here in Las Vegas. It described its technology, also called Neon, as "a computationally created virtual being that looks and behaves like a real human, with the ability to show emotions and intelligence." Basically, Neon makes video chatbots that look and act like real people.

It can be difficult to find time to finish a video game, especially if you only have a few hours a week to play. In our biweekly column Short Play we suggest video games that can be started and finished in a weekend. There are a number of apps that are supposed to help with meditation and relaxation. The idea is usually to get you to step away from whatever you are doing to take a few moments, clear your head, and not think about all of the potentially stressful things in your life. But what if instead of that you walked around an apartment taking pictures of birds?
