London: A computer "judge" using artificial intelligence has correctly predicted verdicts of the European Court of Human Rights with 79 per cent accuracy. Computer scientists devised a program that was able to weigh up legal evidence and moral questions of right and wrong. The algorithm scoured English language data sets for 584 cases relating to torture and degrading treatment, fair trials and privacy. In each case, the program analysed the information and arrived at its own judicial decision. In 79 per cent of cases, the artificial intelligence (AI) verdict matched the one that was delivered by the court.

An artificial intelligence system has correctly predicted the outcomes of hundreds of cases heard at the European Court of Human Rights, researchers have claimed. The AI predicted the verdicts to an accuracy of 79%, according to the scientists involved. AI is increasingly being used in fields such as journalism, law and accountancy. But critics said no AI would be able to understand the nuances of a legal case. The study, which was conducted by researchers at University College London and the universities of Sheffield and Pennsylvania, does not spell an end to lawyers, the researchers said.

The new effort by Toyota is also the latest indication of a changing of the guard in Silicon Valley's basic technology research. In September, when Dr. Pratt joined Toyota, the company announced an initial artificial intelligence research effort committing 50 million in funding to the computer science departments of both Stanford and M.I.T. In addition to focusing on navigation technologies, the new research corporation will also apply artificial intelligence technologies to Toyota's factory automation systems, Dr. Pratt said. A version of this article appears in print on November 6, 2015, on page B3 of the New York edition with the headline: Toyota Planning an Artificial Intelligence Research Center in California.

Self-driving cars, intelligent drones, robots and more: Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is expected to be the biggest revolution in the digital space since the dawn of the world wide web. And maybe the last one, as cynics like to say: From Stanley Kubrick (2001: A Space Odyssey) to Stephen Hawking, many have warned about the dangers of AI surpassing us. From a marketing perspective, AI looks like a great, rather than a gloomy, possibility. The future is full of promising applications for it. Tracking tools have become more and more sophisticated. They make it possible to track all the actions of your website visitors, from the first visit on -- but for the marketer there lies a challenge in actually reading the phenomenal amount of data they gather.

While the number of headlines about machine learning might lead one to think that we just discovered something profoundly new, the reality is that the technology is nearly as old as computing. It's no coincidence that Alan Turing, one of the most influential computer scientists of all time, started his 1950 treatise on computing with the question "Can machines think?" From our science fiction to our research labs, we have long questioned whether the creation of artificial versions of ourselves will somehow help us uncover the origin of our own consciousness, and more broadly, our role on earth. Unfortunately, the learning curve on AI is really damn steep. By tracing a bit of history, we should hopefully be able to get to the bottom of wtf machine learning really is.

Machine learning enables computers to learn from large amounts of data without being explicitly programmed to do so. We can already see how machine learning gives rise to new intelligent applications, from self-driving cars to intelligent assistants on our smartphones. Increasingly, businesses recognize the importance of using machine learning to transform their data assets into business value. However, many companies are unsure how machine learning can be applied to solve problems in an enterprise context. As the world's most relevant enterprise data is part of SAP's system and business network, SAP aspires to make all its enterprise solutions intelligent and help customers to leverage their data.

Hi Tim - No, I haven't tried that. To be clear, are you thinking of images as "sequences" of pixels? If that's the case, I suppose one could use some sequence-related algorithms, like RNN/LSTM, but with two dimensions. Typically, CNNs are used for images since they encode the proximity of neighboring pixels. To your second point, one could submit the image to the model before it's fully loaded, and get less-than-optimal results until the image is fully loaded.

Artificial intelligence software that can find patterns in highly complex decisions is being used to predict our taste in films, TV shows and music with ever-increasing accuracy. And now, after a breakthrough study by a group of British scientists, it could be used to predict the outcome of trials. Software that is able to weigh up legal evidence and moral questions of right and wrong has been devised by computer scientists at University College London, and used to accurately predict the result in hundreds of real life cases. The AI "judge" has reached the same verdicts as judges at the European court of humanrights in almost four in five cases involving torture, degrading treatment and privacy. The algorithm examined English language data sets for 584 cases relating to torture and degrading treatment, fair trials and privacy.

Enter Plum, Koretz's 1,499 invention that doubles as a countertop appliance and the ultimate tricked-out wine storage. Plum lets wine drinkers have a "by the glass" experience: When consumers place a bottle in the device, Plum uses cloud and artificial intelligence technology to identify the label, and automatically set the perfect sitting temperature for each bottle. Koretz said the company has raised nearly 10 million to date from lead investor Vinod Khosla, of Khosla Ventures, as well as investors across various industries - wineries, consumer goods, hospitality and technology. With the push of a button, it uses a pressurized needle-based system to extract one glass of wine at a time--but without removing the cork. This process allows the wine in each bottle to be preserved for up to 90 days.
