Building an experimental city from scratch was always going to be a complex, expensive, problematic task--even Walt would have struggled to pull this one off. But the Walt Disney Co. seems to have abandoned all efforts at serious futurology. Since the abandonment of the "2055" project, the original Tomorrowland--home of Walt's starry-eyed vision of space, atoms, and transit--has displayed little of Walt's futuristic spirit. The park's current "Googie" architecture is a relic from the past, "a space age look that was enormously popular during the 1950s," according to the Disney website. The rides are a mixture of vintage classics (Autopia, the monorail, and the submarine still run) and Pixar/Star Warsโ€“themed attractions that are more science-fiction than science-future.


How Do Machine Learning Algorithms Learn Bias? โ€“ Towards Data Science โ€“ Medium

#artificialintelligence

Guest written by Rebecca Njeri! There are funny mishaps that result from imperfectly trained machine learning algorithms. Or these two guys stuck on a voice activated elevator that doesn't understand their accent. Or maybe Amazon's Alexa trying to order hundreds of dollhousesbecause it confuses the news anchor's report for a request from its owner. There are also the memes on the Amazon Whole Foods purchase, which are truly in the spirit of defective algorithms.


Artificial Intelligence (AI) Defined

#artificialintelligence

In Poland, a newspaper subscription tends to satisfy purely intellectual needs and is regarded as somewhat of a luxury which the majority of the people can heroically forego; in the United States a newspaper is regarded as a basic need of every person, indispensable as bread itself. The basic need for information, of all kinds, as Mark Twain observed (in Pudd'nhead Wilson, 1897): "The old saw says, 'Let a sleeping dog lie.' Right. Still, when there is much at stake, it is better to get a newspaper to do it." Today, the need for "serious" and "sensational" information is satisfied less and less by newspapers alone. The days of loyalty to a particular news organization on a particular piece of technology in a particular form are gone.


Can i create my own neural network model from scratch and use it fir transfer learning? โ€ข r/MachineLearning

@machinelearnbot

Yes, that is what transfer learning is. Although 8 conv 4 fc is a little unusual. You might be better off finding a pre-trained, tried and tested convnet architecture like VGG or Resnet and save yourself a lot of work. Most DL frameworks provide some kind of "model zoo" to download pre-trained networks.


Datasets for Data Science and Machine Learning

@machinelearnbot

Back then, it was actually difficult to find datasets for data science and machine learning projects. Since then, we've been flooded with lists and lists of datasets. Today, the problem is not finding datasets, but rather sifting through them to keep the relevant ones. Well, we've done that for you right here. Below, you'll find a curated list of free datasets for data science and machine learning, organized by their use case.




Why A.I. Is Just Not Funny - Facts So Romantic

Nautilus

In the 2004 film I, Robot, Detective Del Spooner asks an A.I. named Sonny: "Can a robot write a symphony? Can a robot turn a canvas into a beautiful masterpiece?" Scientists have been working on answering Spooner's question for the last decade with striking results. Researchers from Rutgers University, Facebook, and the College of Charleston have developed a system for generating original art called C.A.N. (Creative Adversarial Network). They "trained" C.A.N. on more than 81,000 paintings from 1,119 artists ranging from the 15th century to the 20th century.


Machine Learning In IoT By Node.js

#artificialintelligence

We use Redis because Redis can be a bridge between Node.js Also, you can use zeroMQ, RabbitMQ to make pipelines. PingFirmata must be loaded onto Arduino-compatible boards to enable this component. The most straightforward method for enabling this module is to use the Ping I2C Backpack. With your Arduino plugged in, issue the following instruction, using the serial port your arduino is plugged into.


'America's Got Talent' Season 12: Sara & Hero Reveal New Skills

International Business Times

The "America's Got Talent" Season 12 contestants have certainly learned a thing or two since joining the hit NBC reality TV competition. A few days before the semifinals, some of the contestants shared one important lesson learned from their fellow contestants on the show. Dog act Sara & Hero has wowed the crowd since the judge cuts round. Despite not receiving rave reviews during their first audition, Sara & Hero have made it to the semifinals with flying colors. In the clip released by network, Sara jokingly says that she and her dog, Hero, learned how to become escape artists from Demian Aditya.
