Why Music Makes Us Feel According to Artificial Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

Your heart beats faster, palms sweat and part of your brain called the Heschl's gyrus lights up like a Christmas tree. Chances are, you've never thought about what happens to your brain and body when you listen to music in such a detailed way. But it's a question that has puzzled scientists for decades: Why does something as abstract as music provoke such a consistent response? In a new study, a team of USC researchers, with the help of artificial intelligence, investigated how music affects listeners' brains, bodies and emotions. The research team looked at heart rate, galvanic skin response (or sweat gland activity), brain activity and subjective feelings of happiness and sadness in a group of volunteers as they listened to three pieces of unfamiliar music.

Will AI ever 'understand' satire? ZDNet

#artificialintelligence

A lot of nuances of writing are lost on the internet -- things such as irony. That's why satirical material such as the writing of Andy Borowitz on the website of The New Yorker magazine has to be labeled as satire, to make sure we know. Scientists in recent years have become concerned: What about writing that isn't properly understood, such as satire mistaken for the truth, or, conversely, deliberate disinformation campaigns that are disguised as innocent satire? And so began a quest to divine some form of machine learning technology that could automatically identify satire as such and distinguish it from deliberate lies. In truth, a machine can't understand much of anything, really, and it certainly can't understand satire.

Sony A6600 review: A rare misstep for Sony's cameras

#artificialintelligence

A6600 has a lot to live up to. First of all, it had to follow the A6500, launched in 2016 with innovative features like 4K 30 fps video, fast 11 fps shooting speeds, in-body stabilization and face- and eye-tracking. For a couple of years, nothing else on the market could touch it. What's more, the A6600 arrived just after Sony's 61-megapixel A7R IV full-frame mirrorless camera -- possibly the best camera I've ever seen. From a competition standpoint, Sony is also under pressure to top Fujifilm's X-T3, which has a higher-resolution sensor, more 4K video features and much better handling than the A6500.

Algorithms Are Designed to Addict Us, and the Consequences Go Beyond Wasted Time

#artificialintelligence

Goethe's The Sorcerer's Apprentice is a classic example of many stories in a similar theme. The young apprentice enchants a broom to mop the floor, avoiding some work in the process. But the enchantment quickly spirals out of control: the broom, mono-maniacally focused on its task but unconscious of the consequences, ends up flooding the room. The classic fear surrounding hypothetical, superintelligent AI is that we might give it the wrong goal, or insufficient constraints. Even in the well-developed field of narrow AI, we see that machine learning algorithms are very capable of finding unexpected means and unintended ways to achieve their goals.


A will to survive might take AI to the next level

#artificialintelligence

Fiction is full of robots with feelings. Like that emotional kid David, played by Haley Joel Osment, in the movie A.I. Or WALLโ€ขE, who obviously had feelings for EVE-uh. Robby the Robot sounded pretty emotional whenever warning Will Robinson of danger. Not to mention all those emotional train-wreck, wackadoodle robots on Westworld. But in real life robots have no more feelings than a rock submerged in novocaine.


New iOS 13 features, erase Siri recordings, PDF signatures, and more: Tech Q&A

FOX News

Apple's new iPhone 11 Pro Max is seen above. Q: When I interview someone for a position or meet someone for the first time, I like to see what they post on social media. You can tell a lot about a person this way! Is there a trick to finding a person's social accounts? A: Since the beginning, social media has been a double-edged sword: first and foremost, it's a great way to share significant life events and professional information with friends and colleagues.


r/MachineLearning - [P] tog: A hackable Emacs based data-tagging framework

#artificialintelligence

There are some really good tools for tagging data and creating datasets for ML like doccano. Most of these are web GUIs though which I find hard and annoying to extend. Some time back, I made a system for tagging within Emacs which then got extended into a sort of framework. If you live inside Emacs and are willing to spend some time creating a fast tagging workflow, you can try tog which lets you create custom data taggers by writing a few rendering and parsing functions. It's all Emacs Lisp, so you can extend everything.
