Machine Learning- Playing part in our Daily Lives

#artificialintelligence

Might be used in some typical heavy applications we might not even know about. The first impression when a layman gets to hear about machine learning. You are surrounded by the things that consist of machine learning. The predominant tech companies are using it massively, understanding the user like never before. Recently there has been excitement at its peak regarding the launch of Netflix in India.


Understanding data mining clustering methods

#artificialintelligence

When you go to the grocery store, you see that items of a similar nature are displayed nearby to each other. When you organize the clothes in your closet, you put similar items together (e.g. Every personal organizing tip on the web to save you from your clutter suggests some sort of grouping of similar items together. Even we don't notice it, we are involved in grouping similar objects together in every aspect of our life. This is called clustering in machine learning, so in this post I will provide an overview of data mining clustering methods. In machine learning or data mining, clustering assigns similar objects together in order to discover structures in data that doesn't have any labels.


Google's computers are creating songs - making music may never be the same - Business - NZ Herald News

#artificialintelligence

Google has launched a project to use artificial intelligence to create compelling art and music, offering a reminder of how technology is rapidly changing what it means to be a musician, and what makes us distinctly human. Google's Project Magenta, announced this month, aims to push the state of the art in machine intelligence that's used to generate music and art. "We don't know what artists and musicians will do with these new tools, but we're excited to find out," said Douglas Eck, the project's leader in a blog post. "Daguerre and later Eastman didn't imagine what Annie Liebovitz or Richard Avalon would accomplish in photography. Surely Rickenbacker and Gibson didn't have Jimi Hendrix or St Vincent in mind." Google has already released a song demonstrating the technology.

Siri vs. Alexa: Why Amazon Won Our 300-Question Showdown

#artificialintelligence

I'm an Android girl who loves her iPad mini and her Amazon Echo. I also plan to be the first to bow before Skynet, once Judgment Day truly arrives. But I want to make sure I'm backing the right robot voice. I said "Hey Siri" and "Alexa" more than 300 times to determine which of these two virtual assistants, bordering on AI, truly represent Cyberdyne Systems in its infancy, or whether I should just wait for Google Home. Using an iPhone 6s with Hey Siri enabled and an Alexa-powered Amazon Echo, I asked questions to determine each assistant's intelligence, speed, versatility and personality while both were connected to the same Wi-Fi network.


Tribune Publishing aims to publish 2,000 videos a day with AI

#artificialintelligence

Part of this plan, it seems, is to start churning out mass-produced videos without much need for human assistance. "There's all these really new, fun features we're going to be able to do with artificial intelligence and content to make videos faster," Ferro told interviewer Andrew Ross Sorkin. "Right now, we're doing a couple hundred videos a day; we think we should be doing 2,000 videos a day." For context, BuzzFeed does around 65 to 75 videos a week. The rush to use artificial intelligence to churn out content is especially worrying.

'Star Wars' actor John Boyega set to battle giant monsters in & apos;Pacific Rim' sequel - LA Times

Los Angeles Times

The breakout star of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" will be canceling the apocalypse in the sequel to the 2013 sci-fi action film "Pacific Rim." Boyega will have a lead role in the film playing the son of character Stacker Pentecost, played in the original film by Idris Elba. Directed by Guillermo del Toro, "Pacific Rim" centered on a battle between human-piloted giant robots and Godzilla-style giant monsters known as kaiju. While the film grossed just 102 million domestically, it pulled in a more impressive 411 million worldwide. Steven S. DeKnight, who created the Starz series "Spartacus," is set to make his feature directing debut with the "Pacific Rim," which will begin shooting at the end of this year, after Boyega wraps shooting on "Star Wars: Episode VIII." "I am very proud and happy to welcome John into a fantastic sandbox," Del Toro said in a statement. "The'Pacific Rim' universe will be reinforced with him as a leading man as it continues to be a multicultural, multi-layered world. 'The World saving the world' was our goal and I couldn't think of a better man for the job."


'Mr. Robot' Sells Out: Why Is A Show About Wealth Redistribution Hawking 118 Sneakers In Chelsea?

International Business Times

How do you market a show about a digital vigilante trying to bring about the end of a hypercapitalist society? A show with a protagonist who sneers at social media and abhors Starbucks, and who -- at the end of the first season -- brought down the biggest corporation in the world with a cyberattack, leading to complete economic chaos? Traditional wisdom dictates that marketing efforts for such a show would shy away from anything overtly capitalistic that might come off as being inconsistent with its anticapitalistic spirit. In particular, you would probably avoid opening a store that sells 600 leather jackets and 118 light-up sneakers in the upscale Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan. Not so for the marketing team at USA, the NBCUniversal-owned cable network that airs the show we just described, the much-lauded drama "Mr. In advance of the show's second season, USA has partnered with Story, a brick-and-mortar store in Manhattan that functions as a sort of gallery for hire, for a special seven-week "Mr.
