They are wise-cracking companions, able to communicate in more than six million languages. Others are bent on enslaving or destroying humanity, deeming themselves better, more rational caretakers of the Earth in light of our irrational behaviors. Pilot or garbage man, soldier or slave, hero or villain--robots have played every role imaginable in popular science fiction for nearly a century. In the 21st century, real-life robots inspired by their fictional counterparts are beginning to take starring roles in everyday life. Several companies, Google among them, are testing autonomous cars (unfortunately, there is no indication that they will be able to travel into the past or future anytime soon).

DUBAI // A 125cm-robot rescuer is the latest addition to Dubai Municipality's safety system for the emirate's beaches. The robot, which is shaped like a boat and manoeuvred by remote control, can reach a speed of 35kph or approximately 12 times the speed of a human. The goal behind launching this type of technology was to keep beachgoers safe, said Alya Al Harmoudi, director of the Environment Department at Dubai Municipality. "The move is also in response to the Dubai government directives to keep up with the latest technologies and innovations," she said, adding: "It was to ensure that all the necessary requirements and precautions are in place to enhance the rescue operations on the public beaches of Dubai." The device is fitted with an electric pump to facilitate movement and speed and travel up to a distance of 130km.

In an effort to bolster its hold in artificial intelligence in developing Siri and alikes, Apple has acquired a Hyderabad (India)-based machine learning startup Tuplejump–that helps companies to store, process and visualize Big Data– for an undisclosed amount. "Apple buys smaller technology companies from time to time, and we generally do not discuss our purpose or plans," While Rai and Buddhavarapu, according to their LinkedIn pages, have moved to Apple–working as Software Engineer and Engineering Manager respectively– post-acquisition, Alur has joined Anaplan and is heading the engineering team at the cloud-based analytics platform for sales, operations and finance sector. Techcrunch also cited that, Apple is particularly interested in Tumplejump built "FiloDB", an open-source project that aims at applying machine learning concepts and analytics to massive amounts of complex data sets. While Tuplejump, as a standalone company, claimed to be an early adopter of Big Data technology and help Fortune 500 companies manage the same. According to Venturebeat, the Tumplejump team was well acquainted with open source big data tools such as the Apache Spark processing engine, the Apache Cassandra NoSQL database, and the Apache Kafka via publish-subscribe messaging system.

Recent advancements in technology have resulted in the rise of artificial intelligence. Since it was started in 1950, great strides have been made by incorporating cognitive ability while building these machines. These machines are built with the ability to independently make decisions and operate in a way that enables them to attain certain programmed goals. This development is characterized by a number of open source intelligence solutions companies to cater for different fields, such as for example Expert System. The number one users of this technology are in the health care sector.

Google has achieved something major in artificial intelligence (AI) research. A computer system it has built to play the ancient Chinese board game Go has managed to win a match against a professional Go player: the European champion Fan Hui. The research is documented in a paper in this week's issue of the journal Nature. The Google system, named AlphaGo, swept France's Hui, who is ranked a 2-dan, in a five-game match at the Google DeepMind office in London in October. AlphaGo played against Hui on a full 19-by-19 Go board and received no handicap.

Customer attrition, also known as customer churn, customer turnover, or customer defection, is the loss of clients or customers. Banks, telephone service companies, Internet service providers, pay TV companies, insurance firms, and alarm monitoring services, often use customer attrition analysis and customer attrition rates as one of their key business metrics (along with cash flow, EBITDA, etc.) because the cost of retaining an existing customer is far less than acquiring a new one. Companies from these sectors often have customer service branches which attempt to win back defecting clients, because recovered long-term customers can be worth much more to a company than newly recruited clients. Churn prediction is one of the most popular Big Data use cases in business. It consists of detecting customers who are likely to cancel a subscription to a service.

Recently we shared an introduction to machine learning. While making machines learn from data is fun, the data from real-world scenarios often gets out of hand if you try to implement traditional machine-learning techniques on your computer. To actually use machine learning with big data, it's crucial to learn how to deal with data that is too big to store or compute on a single computing machine. Today we will discuss fundamental concepts for working with big data using distributed computing, then introduce the tools you need to build machine learning models. We'll start with some naive methods of solving problems, which are meant only as an example.
