r/MachineLearning - [P] Building Machine Learning Algorithms for embedded devices and IoT

@machinelearnbot

The Data Capture lab is for building labled datasets for time series events that can be used for supervised learning tasks. The toolkit generates optimized c code for embedded devices so that you can do local classification on the microcontroller attached to a sensor instead of needing to stream data back to a central server for processing.

USATODAY - Tech Top Stories

Today's top Amazon deals will help you live your best life. If you make a purchase by clicking one of our links, we may earn a small share of the revenue. However, our picks and opinions are independent from USA Today's newsroom and any business incentives. It's Thursday, which means we're so close to the weekend. But Thursdays can really drag along, and I know something that can make today a little more bearable.


More Artists Are Writing Songs in the Key of AI

WIRED

Music written by teams, David Byrne once wrote, is arguably more accessible than that written by a sole composer. Collaborations, he mused, may result in more "universal" sentiments. Now music producers are enlisting AI to crank out hits. Created by Sony's Computer Science Laboratories, Flow Machines analyzes tracks from around the world, then suggests scores that artists--including electropop musician ALB and jazz vocalist Camille Bertault--interpret into songs. For its debut album, Hello World, the AI also surveyed syllables and words from existing music to create original (albeit gibberish) vocals.


ActiveCampaign Brings Machine Learning to SMBs with Win Probability

#artificialintelligence

ActiveCampaign is focused on providing value with features that ultimately save time. With the introduction of Win Probability, users are armed with actionable insights that enable them to sell more efficiently and effectively, giving users more time to focus on business initiatives. "Machine learning is often seen as a black box where users aren't sure what's happening behind the scenes," said Jason VandeBoom, Founder and CEO of ActiveCampaign. "Win Probability is built to give our users visibility into what's driving the predictions as they know their business better than we ever could. By giving users the ability to customize the inputs, they can uncover the actions that make the most impact and better allocate their resources based on the likelihood of winning a deal."


What is YouTube Music? Google goes toe-to-toe with Spotify and Apple Music with new streaming service

The Independent - Tech

"Music isn't just what we listen to, it's who we are." This is Google's hypothesis, as laid out in marketing materials for YouTube Music – a revamped streaming service it hopes will rival Spotify and Apple Music. And who knows who people really are better than Google? Through its blanket dominance in everything from email and search, to maps and calendars, Google knows its users' location, habits, tastes and future plans. By accessing the vast amounts of data swept up by these digital services, Google wants to offer a new type of personalised music streaming service. Combining this personal knowledge with the AI-powered Google Assistant, YouTube Music should in theory be able to offer listening suggestions suitable to whatever the situation – be it falling asleep or a morning commute.


Machine-Learning: The New Master of Financial Markets

#artificialintelligence

The rise of artificial intelligence is fast disrupting the financial universe and establishing new paradigms of understanding and action. Computers now drive market velocity, and because the volume of available financial information has expanded exponentially over the last few decades, machines have become indispensable to deciphering these mountains of megabytes in order to create clear-cut actionable intelligence. Given the large data sets and quantitative nature of the modern-day financial services sector, artificial intelligence (AI) has innumerable applications that are poised to revolutionize the industry over the next few years. AI saves companies time and money through the use of algorithms to generate insights, improve customer service and make calculated performance predictions. Because of the ability to foresee market trends and deliver analysis and insights far better than humans, information behemoths and financial titans such as S&P Global Inc. (NYSE: SPGI), Euronext NV (OTC: EUXTF), The Blackstone Group, L.P. (NYSE: BX) and Thomson Reuters Corp (NYSE: TRI) are integrating and increasingly acquiring machine-learning, artificial intelligence technologies such as those provided by AnalytixInsight Inc. (TSX-V: ALY) (OTC: ATIXF) (ATIXF Profile), which offers investors a compelling opportunity to participate in this industry shift.


The Critics Must Be Crazy: 'Tomb Raider' Is A Great Video Game Movie

Forbes - Tech

The film only earned $57 million domestically, but it still topped 2016's Assassin's Creed, which earned $54 million in the US with a $240 million cumulative box office. And here's the thing: Tomb Raider was really good. Alicia Vikander's Lara Croft is really good. It's one of the best video game movies I've ever seen, and if you missed it at the movie theater, you should definitely check it out from the comfort of your own home. "Best video game movie" is a fairly low bar, but I genuinely enjoyed Tomb Raider as a movie---not just as a video game movie. It certainly has more than a few similarities to the rebooted video game franchise.

The Richest Indian-Owned Company Is Emerging As A Pivotal Player In India's Startup Ecosystem

Forbes - Tech

Last month, the music streaming arm of telecom company Jio, Reliance Jio Music, and music and audio streaming service Saavn merged to jointly strengthen their foothold in the digital music market, which is expected to cross $460 million (Rs.3,100 crore) in revenue by 2020. The two music streaming companies will be integrated into a combined $1 billion entity that leverages the media streaming expertise of Saavn with the 4G internet connectivity of telecom company Jio. Soon after the announcement of this merger, Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), also agreed to pick up a 72.69% stake in the AI-based online education startup Embibe, with a proposal to invest $180 million over the next three years. This foray of India's petrochemical giant Reliance in the startup industry was the culmination of a plan put into motion in 2016, when RIL's owner, the richest Indian on Forbes Billionaires 2018 list, Mukesh Ambani, addressed its 42nd annual general meeting in Mumbai. During the address he stated that Reliance Industries was setting up a $743 million (Rs.5,000 crore) fund, called the Jio Digital India Startup Fund, to invest in digital businesses.


NEC, Google Use AI to Improve Spectral Efficiency in Submarine Cable Networks

#artificialintelligence

NEC announced successful transmission tests that took place over a commercial subsea cable measuring more than 10,000 kilometers using artificial intelligence (AI) and probabilistic shaping at a modulation of 64QAM. NEC, in a joint research publication with Google, has demonstrated for the first time that the FASTER open subsea cable can be upgraded to a spectral efficiency of 6 bits per second per hertz (b/s/Hz) in an 11,000km segment. This represents a capacity of more than 26 terabits per second (Tb/s) in the C-band, which is over 2½ times the capacity originally planned for the cable, for no additional wet plant capital expenditure. In doing so, a spectral efficiency-distance product record of 66,102 b/s/Hz in a field trial performed together with live traffic neighboring channels. The team achieved this result using near-Shannon probabilistic-shaping at a modulation of 64QAM, and for the first time on a live cable, artificial intelligence (AI) was used to analyze data for the purpose of nonlinearity compensation (NLC). This approach sets aside those deterministic models of nonlinear propagation, in favor of a low-complexity black-box model of the fiber, generated by machine learning algorithms.
