I am studying a MSc in Applied Statistics and my master thesis is called "Unsupervised learning techniques applied to classification of gymnasts through the measuring of individual elements from acrobatic gymnastic discipline". That is, I would need to have an index, citations, plots, math (for the theoretical background of machine learning models) and so on. I am going to use Python for the developing. However, I am still thinking about which sofwtare should I use for typing purposes. Regarding the first option, the main inconvenient is that coding has to be developed outside Latex (for testing) and then it has to be pasted in Latex, which results in a loss of hyphenation (at least that happened when I first used it) and the consequent loss of time for making it again.

A former streaming industry exec and an AI specialist walk into a bar… they leave starting an AI company for the music industry. That's not exactly how Singapore-based startup Musiio was formed, but it's close enough -- and the outcome is the same. Co-founders Hazel Savage, formerly of Pandora and Shazam, and Swedish data scientist Aron Pettersson connected at Entrepreneur First in Singapore. The program began in London as a way to help like-minded tech connect with the potential to start projects, so it does mirror the serendipity of meeting new friends in a bar. "We'd probably never have met each other if we hadn't gone to EF," Savage told TechCrunch in an interview.

While it has cooled a bit after a scorching hot 2017, the artificial intelligence and robotics trade still offers plenty of long-term allure. And short-term traders looking to play a rebound in robotics now have a new option to consider.

There's no need to say that we live in the age of technology. Artificial intelligence has become something face on a daily basis but have you ever stopped for a second and wondered what are the benefits artificial intelligence brings? Read on to find out.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most important technologies of this era. Once considered a remote possibility reserved for science fiction, AI has advanced enough to approach a technological tipping point of generating groundbreaking effects on humanity and is "likely to leave no stratum of society …

Mere months after blowing minds at Sundance, the interactive "Frankenstein AI: A Monster Made by Many" may now be experienced from the comfort of your own home. Not unlike Mary Shelley's classic novel, the exploration of artificial–intelligence explores what happens when humans create …

The slow war against AI-powered, face-swapping pornography continues. The Screen Actors Guild, the labor union representing the biggest names in film and television, says it's "fighting back" against deepfakes, videos that superimpose actors' faces onto the bodies of porn stars. SAG-AFTRA president Gabrielle Carteris wrote the following in the group's monthly magazine, as spotted by Deadline: "We are closely watching the development of so-called deepfakes. This artificial intelligence tool has the ability to steal our images and superimpose them onto another person's body in potentially unpleasant and inappropriate digital forms. SAG-AFTRA is focused on these emerging processes and fighting back when the technology infringes on our members' rights."

Friends, humans, rapidly-evolving robots, the time has finally come: Westworld Season 2 is here. After nearly 17 months, HBO's futuristic thriller about a theme park where the rich can live out their Wild West fantasies with android "hosts" finally returns on Sunday. At the end of the first season, it seemed as though some of the hosts were starting to gain more agency than robots are supposed to have (or were they?) and there were a lot of mysteries left unsolved. In anticipation of the Season 2 debut, WIRED got together some of our biggest Westworld aficionados to hash out our hopes and dreams for the second season. Do we think these violent delights have violent ends?

It was recently reported that the meditation app Calm had published a "new" fairytale by the Brothers Grimm. However, The Princess and the Fox was written not by the brothers, who died over 150 years ago, but by humans using an artificial intelligence (AI) tool. It's the first fairy tale written by an AI, claims Calm, and is the result of a collaboration with Botnik Studios - a community of writers, artists and developers. Calm says the technique could be referred to as "literary cloning". Botnik employees used a predictive-text program to generate words and phrases that might be found in the original Grimm fairytales.

In 1968, America and the former Soviet Union were locked in a space race to land a man on the moon. It was during this time of Cold War tension and rivalry that 2001: A Space Odyssey come out on cinema screens and dazzled filmgoers. Al Jazeera's Rosiland Jordan went to the Smithsonian Museum in Washington to see an exhibition that honours the movie.
