In today's media environment, we felt it more important than ever to double down on our award-winning journalism and to provide readers and advertisers with a richer, deeper experience. From a product perspective, that means making our creators more effective storytellers, our users more engaged readers and our brands more integrated partners. The engine behind our new site is an innovative content management system ("CMS") endearingly named "Bertie," after our founder B.C. Forbes. An Artificially Intelligent publishing platform, Bertie is designed specifically for our in-house newsroom of journalists, our expert contributor network, and our BrandVoice partners. Bertie's artificial intelligence gives our storytellers a bionic suit – providing real-time trending topics to cover, recommending ways to make headlines more compelling and suggesting relevant imagery.


Watch the trailer for Netflix's resurrected sci-fi thriller 'Extinction'

Engadget

Netflix has just dropped the trailer for its science-fiction thriller Extinction, in which a man's nightmares of losing his family morph into a reality as alien invaders try to wipe out humanity. The movie has a strong cast, including Ant-Man and The Wasp's Michael Peña, Lizzy Caplan and Luke Cage star Mike Colter. Netflix snapped up Extinction after Universal yanked it from its scheduled January release. When Extinction hits Netflix July 27th, the streaming giant will be hoping the flick fares better than The Cloverfield Paradox, which the company bought from Paramount. Netflix gave the latest entry in the Cloverfield series a surprise release just after the Super Bowl, but the sci-fi movie debuted to poor reviews.


Parrot's Anafi 4K drone is much more than a flying toy

Engadget

Drones come in many shapes and sizes. At their most affordable, drones are fun flying toys. And for industrial uses or professional filmmakers, you've got specialist machines that can run well into tens of thousands of dollars. Parrot's new $700 Anafi falls somewhere in between, balancing a decent camera and plenty of features with a price tag that isn't prohibitively expensive. DJI is the dominant player in drones right now.


AI Can Now Fix Your Grainy Photos by Only Looking at Grainy Photos - NVIDIA Developer News Center

#artificialintelligence

What if you could take your photos that were originally taken in low light and automatically remove the noise and artifacts? Have grainy or pixelated images in your photo library and want to fix them? This deep learning-based approach has learned to fix photos by simply looking at examples of corrupted photos only. The work was developed by researchers from NVIDIA, Aalto University, and MIT, and is being presented at the International Conference on Machine Learning in Stockholm, Sweden this week. Recent deep learning work in the field has focused on training a neural network to restore images by showing example pairs of noisy and clean images.


The TV for the Smartphone Age

Slate

In its early days, the television was a wood-enclosed box that blended in with your existing living room furniture. Its screen was small; plastics and composites weren't yet commonplace. Over time, manufacturing abilities, design trends, and television usage changed. The TV became the focal point of the living room--and it didn't need to blend in anymore. The device lost its homely trappings and evolved into the giant, black, personality-less screen we know today.


What Time Does Season 5 Start In 'Fortnite: Battle Royale?'

Forbes - Tech

The sky itself has cracked in Fortnite: Battle Royale, and Epic Games is teasing a dramatic map overhaul that looks like it's going to incorporate elements of Japanese, Viking and American Western culture. The developer has been working hard to make the start of season 5 as cataclysmic as possible, beginning with a rocket launch a little while ago and continuing on through a series of rifts that have been both eating parts of the map and spitting out mysterious objects. There's even an ARG that's involved llamas scattered throughout the world and a giant Durr Burger head plopped in the middle of the California Desert. It all comes to a head with the start of Season 5, but you may be wondering when, exactly, that is. Here's what time Season 5 will start in Fortnite: Battle Royale.


r/MachineLearning - [D] Does anyone have tips for an upcoming ML interview?

#artificialintelligence

I have an upcoming machine learning interview with a focus on NLP. Just wondering if anyone can provide me with some insights that may be useful.


Artificial Intelligence used to remove noise from photos by Jose Antunes - ProVideo Coalition

#artificialintelligence

There is a new and apparently better way to fix grainy photos, and it uses AI. Artificial Intelligence, one must say, coupled with lots of computing power, but that's growing day after day. Artificial Intelligence and machine learning will never cease to surprise us, apparently. Each new day, there's some new announcement, covering different fields: AI can render 3D hair in real time, smell illnesses in human breath, assess infrastructure quality in Africa or help transform audio into music playing avatars. Now it can also help photographers get rid of noise in their photos.


Honor x CSM Collaborate To Find Beauty in Artificial Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

Honor, a leading smartphone e-brand under the Huawei Group signed up to work with Central Saint Martins (CSM) students to explore the concept of colour and its emotional significance within the history of design, as well as the relationship between art, design and technological innovation. Collaborating to find beauty in Artificial Intelligence (AI), selected CSM students are to be awarded the Honor Art prize, which is an award given for a piece of final degree work that celebrates the innovative use of colour and technology in artistic practice. This year, the inaugural prize was awarded to MA Fine Art student Marco Pantaleoni for his series of works in 3D scanning, photography and painting. Receiving his award, Marco said: "I feel honoured to be awarded this prize. Technology is an essential part of my practice, so to be recognised by a technology brand like Honor, not only reinforces some of the concepts behind my work, it also really resonates with the way I create."


NVIDIA AI scrubs noise and watermarks from digital images

#artificialintelligence

NVIDIA researchers are back with yet another digital image technology that pushes the limits of traditional image manipulation. Unlike Adobe's recently disclosed project, which involved a neural network trained to spot digitally altered images, NVIDIA's newest creation can scrub digital sensor noise and watermarks from digital images. Thanks to the artificial intelligence powering it, the feature is far more effective than existing denoising tools. Digital camera sensor noise, though not as severe as it once was, is still common from consumer-tier cameras, particularly smartphone cameras in low-light conditions. This is due to the small sensor size used in these cameras, making post-processing necessary to increase image quality.
