Apple Buys Tuplejump to Expand Machine-Learning Capabilities

#artificialintelligence

Apple Inc. has acquired Indian machine-learning startup Tuplejump Software Pvt Ltd as it seeks to expand its expertise in artificial intelligence. The iPhone maker bought the Hyderabad, India-based company in June, according to a person familiar with the deal who asked not to be identified. Tuplejump's software specializes in processing and analyzing big sets of data quickly. The deal was reported earlier by TechCrunch. The purchase price wasn't disclosed.


ICICI Bank ICICI Bank introduces 'Software Robotics' to power banking operations

#artificialintelligence

Mumbai: ICICI Bank, India's largest private sector bank, today announced the deployment of'Software Robotics' in over 200 business processes across various functions of the bank. The bank is the first in the country and among few, globally, to deploy'Software Robotics' that emulates human actions to automate and perform repetitive, high volume and time consuming business tasks cutting across multiple applications. At ICICI Bank, software robots have reduced the response time to customers by up to 60% and increased accuracy to 100% thereby sharply improving the bank's productivity and efficiency. It has also enabled the bank's employees to focus more on value-added and customer-related functions. The software robots now perform over 10 lakh banking transactions every working day.

Nasa has announced that it has found evidence of flowing water on Mars. Scientists have long speculated that Recurring Slope Lineae -- or dark patches -- on Mars were made up of briny water but the new findings prove that those patches are caused by liquid water, which it has established by finding hydrated salts. Several hundred camped outside the London store in Covent Garden. The 6s will have new features like a vastly improved camera and a pressure-sensitive "3D Touch" display


Apple acquires third machine learning company in two years

#artificialintelligence

Apple has acquired a new machine-learning company, Tuplejump, based in India/US. According to a report by TechCrunch, this is the third machine-learning company Apple has acquired within a window of two years. Though there hasn't been any official confirmation by the Cupertino giant, their response to the queries regarding the acquisition gives a clear indication that the deal has happened. The company responded to the questions saying, "Apple buys smaller technology companies from time to time, and we generally do not discuss our purpose or plans." Though Tuplejump's website has been taken down after the acquisition, a Wayback Machine capture reveals this was the companies introduction: "A few years ago people realised that the volume of data that businesses generate was becoming unwieldy. A new set of technologies to handle this huge amounts of data cropped up. We were one of the early adopters of these'big-data' technologies. Having helped Fortune 500 companies adopt these technologies we quickly realised how complicated they were and how much simpler they could get. Thus started our quest to simplify data management technologies and make them extremely simple to use. We are building technology that is simple to use, scalable and will allow people to ask difficult questions on huge datasets."


How Machine Learning, Big Data And AI Are Changing Healthcare Forever

#artificialintelligence

While robots and computers will probably never completely replace doctors and nurses, machine learning/deep learning and AI are transforming the healthcare industry, improving outcomes, and changing the way doctors think about providing care. Machine learning is improving diagnostics, predicting outcomes, and just beginning to scratch the surface of personalized care. Imagine walking in to see your doctor with an ache or pain. After listening to your symptoms, she inputs them into her computer, which pulls up the latest research she might need to know about how to diagnose and treat your problem. You have an MRI or an xray and a computer helps the radiologist detect any problems that could be too small for a human to see.


Apple acquires Hyderabad-based machine learning startup Tuplejump ETtech

#artificialintelligence

Apple has acquired a Hyderabad-based machine learning startup Tuplejump to strengthen its expertise in artificial intelligence, reports TechCrunch. "Apple buys smaller technology companies from time to time, and we generally do not discuss our purpose or plans." the Cupertino giant told the publication, indicating the deal was likely an acqui-hire. Tuplejump was founded in 2013 by Rohit Rai, Satyaprakash Buddhavarapu and Deepak Alur and helps companies to store, process and visualise big data. Tuplejump's website has now shut down and founders Rohit Rai and Satyaprakash Buddhavarapu have joined Apple, as indicated by their LinkedIn profiles. This deal comes a month after Apple acquired another machine learning company Turi. It had also bought deep learning company Perceptio in October last year.


Sales Automation through a Deep Learning Platform

#artificialintelligence

A deep learning platform that actually sells to the customer. This article outlines a successful sales automation platform that uses deep learning to drive customers down an order flow. Most sales processes are mostly linear and have a flow. A good sales agent knows how to guide the customer down this path gracefully. If the customer is deviating from the flow the sales agent knows how to sell the product and continue on with the order flow.


Will quantum computing change the world?

#artificialintelligence

Computing could be set to take a quantum leap, ushering in a new era of fast, powerful, processing which could change the world. That's according to some of the speakers at a Cambridge Wireless technology conference, which focused on the'quantum computing revolution'. Based in the theory of quantum mechanics, quantum computing applies ideas such as super-position and entanglement to dealing with data. Or, as Colin Williams from quantum computing firm D-Wave, put it: "Classical computing is based on having a one or a zero. In quantum computing you can have lots of ones and zeros at the same time."



What is the future scope of Machine Learning - Education article

#artificialintelligence

Have you ever thought of a system which will read a hand written text and type it? A machine is anything that lessens human effort. The art of developing machine which does not need extensive programming is known as machine learning. Machine learning is the process of developing artificial intelligence in computers, It does make computers do the desired work without being extensively programmed and with least human efforts. It does make a use of statistical analysis and predictive analysis.
