The program is efficient enough to run on phones and is so fast that it can display retouched images in real-time, making it possible for users to see the final version of the image while still framing the shot. Researchers from Google and MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory unveiled it this week at Siggraph, the premier digital graphics conference. The work builds on an earlier project from the MIT researchers that involved a similar process, but it occurred in the cloud. A phone would send a low-resolution version of an image to a web server, which would then send back a'transform recipe' that could be used to retouch the high-resolution version of the image on the phone, reducing bandwidth consumption. 'Google heard about the work I'd done on the transform recipe,' says Michaël Gharbi, an MIT graduate student in electrical engineering and computer science and first author on both the original and new papers.

Amazon's Alexa voice assistant is ready to control your Fire TV . Using an Alexa device such as the Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, or Echo Show, you can watch videos, search for videos by genre, and control playback without picking up the remote. Hands-free voice control is available now on all Fire TV boxes and Fire TV Sticks in the United States, and should be available on all Fire TV Edition televisions in the United States by the end of this week. For now, launching directly into a video works with Amazon Prime on all Fire TV devices, and with over-the-air channels on Fire TV Edition televisions. Although you can launch other apps by voice, you'll still need a remote to navigate past their main menus.

The newspapers have a scoop today - it seems that artificial intelligence (AI) could be out to get us. "'Robot intelligence is dangerous': Expert's warning after Facebook AI'develop their own language'", says the Mirror. Similar stories have appeared in the Sun, the Independent, the Telegraph and in other online publications. It sounds like something from a science fiction film - the Sun even included a few pictures of scary-looking androids. So, is it time to panic and start preparing for apocalypse at the hands of machines? While some great minds - including Stephen Hawking - are concerned that one day AI could threaten humanity, the Facebook story is nothing to be worried about.

When Sony nominated Kaz Hirai to lead the corporation, he laid out an ambitious strategy that he titled One Sony. Hirai identified three key markets where he wanted Sony to be a leader: digital imaging, gaming and mobile, with the trio pushed accordingly. Five years later, and Hirai's managed to hit two out of three targets, with Sony's most recent financial reports vindicating his plan. The often-troubled conglomerate saw its sales and operating revenue increase by 15.2 percent year-on-year, mostly thanks to semiconductors and financial services. In the former category, is Sony's lucrative digital image sensor business that provides the chips for pretty much every smartphone worth a damn. Bloomberg believes that Sony sensors are now found inside half the world's phones, and given that many use dual lenses on the back and one up front, that's a healthy bounty for Sony.

Tokyo-based Honda, which makes the Fit subcompact, Accord sedan and Asimo robot, reported Tuesday a 207.3 billion yen ($1.9 billion) profit for April-June, up from 174.6 billion yen the same period last year.

The result, after some work by crack film editor Alex MacKenzie, was the 45 minute documentary Singularity or Bust -- a uniquely edgy, experimental Singularitarian road movie, featuring perhaps the most philosophical three-foot-tall humanoid robot ever, a glance at the fast-growing Chinese research scene in the late aughts, and even a bit of a real-life love story. The film was screened in theaters around the world, and won the Best Documentary award at the 2013 LA Cinema Festival of Hollywood and the LA Lift Off Festival. And now it is online, free of charge, for your delectation. Singularity or Bust is a true story pertaining to events occurring in the year 2009. It captures a fascinating slice of reality, but bear in mind that things move fast these days.

Never quite got to experiment with the model further but behavioral detection on top of linux tracing infrastructere is on my todo list, but i'm gonna need to setup some containers and get my hands on some malware to test it on. Unfortunately don't quite have to resources required but my alma mater has some cooperation with AV companies so perhaps I'll get lucky and they give me access to malware db (it's my understanding that virustotal has one). Anyways, w2v seems to have bunch of use cases outside it's original scope, experiment ppls:-)

Tensorflow releases go very fast nowadays, and I noticed it's hard to keep up. This weekend I spent some time going over the changelog, searching for changed parts of Tensorflow that might be important for me and others. If you have any questions about this version update, or in general about Tensorflow, leave a comment here or under the article!
