Panel: artificial intelligence works best when supply chain partners collaborate

#artificialintelligence

Companies looking to add artificial intelligence (AI) platforms to help solve logistics challenges need to collaborate with their supply chain partners or else run the risk of outpacing their suppliers' and customers' digital capabilities, according to a panel held today at the Massachusetts Institute of …

How Can Machine Learning Revamp Your Mobile App?

#artificialintelligence

The era of generic services is waning. Customers want to get offers tailored to their needs. You can see the numbers for yourself: half of customers are likely to switch brands if a company doesn't meet their needs, and 57 percent are willing to share data with companies that send personalized offers. Technological progress and digital improvements have created new chances for vendors to attract and retain customers. Yet there's a huge gap between mass personalization and true individualization: you can hardly delight your target audience with a mobile app that lacks any prominent feature or that contains bothersome pop-up ads.


Artificial intelligence is writing fairy tales now, and humanity is doomed

#artificialintelligence

If it's started to feel like all summer blockbuster movies are being written by robots [INSERT FORMER PRO WRESTLER, INSERT GIANT CGI ANIMAL], you'll be disquieted to learn that that future may not be too far off. The meditation app Calm teamed up with the tech team at Botnik to write a new Brothers Grimm-style fairy tale entirely through artificial intelligence. By inputting the data from existing Brothers Grimm stories and using predictive text technology (and with a few human writers stitching things together), the group at Botnik crafted "The Princess and the Fox," a story about "a talking fox [who] helps the lowly miller's son to rescue the beautiful princess from the fate of having to marry a dreadful prince who she does not love." "We're doing for the Brothers Grimm what Jurassic Park did for dinosaurs," says Michael Acton Smith, co-founder of Calm, in a press press release. "We're bringing them back from the dead, with modern science."


[D] Implementing a variable length input vectors for Neural Networks • r/MachineLearning

@machinelearnbot

I saw a post of some time ago where somebody wanted to make use of variable length input vectors where the input would represent the pixels of multiple pictures and the resolution of the pictures would change thus the input. It seems a bit impossible as removing, changing or adding input nodes makes an impact on the network it self as weights and biases would have to be readjusted. I am doing research about this topic so if you have any insights or interesting papers to read it would be appreciated. Would the impact of removing or adding one input node on a relatively small network make a huge impact? If you keep memory of previous input nodes and place them back into the network after a few time steps would it worsen or better the network?


Developer Attempts to Transcribe a Podcast with Microsoft's Speech API. Hilarity Ensues.

#artificialintelligence

Over the last few years, the wave of machine learning and artificial intelligence APIs has been cresting as more and more businesses see the potential for differentiation and more and more API providers look to service that need. IBM clearly recognized the potential of these APIs when it acquired AlchemyAPI back in 2015. Alchemy specialized in machine-learning driven APIs like sentiment analysis and image/language processing. Those APIs are now a part of IBM's Watson portfolio. Now, a few years later, everyone is getting into the game.


How artificial intelligence is reshaping our lives

@machinelearnbot

It's Saturday night and you've just finished watching the last episode of a Swedish crime drama that you somehow stumbled upon, although you can't quite remember how. It's late and probably time for bed, but--without prompting--your Netflix screen fills with promotional shots for more shows. There's one about a female detective in Denmark and another about a British inspector who weaves between both sides of the law. It's a familiar scenario to any Netflix watcher--when the service seems to magically suggest programs that fit your latest pop-culture craze. These days, the computer algorithms that allow Netflix or Amazon to make purchasing suggestions are a normal part of life.


Didactic, Extensible and Clean Implementation of Alpha Zero • r/MachineLearning

@machinelearnbot

Main contributor of the repo here- shameless plug but some might find it useful. I wrote up a pretty simple version of Alpha Zero that works with any framework (PyTorch, Tensorflow, Keras) and any game (currently Othello, Gobang, TicTacToe, Connect4). Certainly not written to scale to large games, but hopefully clean code that can be fun to hack around with for smaller projects. Also a tutorial that goes with it here: http://web.stanford.edu/
