Artificial intelligence helps in the discovery of new materials
With the help of artificial intelligence, chemists from the University of Basel in Switzerland have computed the characteristics of about two million crystals made up of four chemical elements. The researchers were able to identify 90 previously unknown thermodynamically stable crystals that can be regarded as new materials. They report on their findings in the scientific journal Physical Review Letters. Elpasolite is a glassy, transparent, shiny and soft mineral with a cubic crystal structure. First discovered in El Paso County (Colorado, USA), it can also be found in the Rocky Mountains, Virginia and the Apennines (Italy).

Rapidfy, an on-demand platform that connects customers with service professionals and small and medium enterprises is looking to improve how these professionals interact with customers. The firm announced today (Sept. Rapidfy's Live Chat feature will allow customers to communicate via a service professional's website, Facebook or the Rapidfy platform. The chatbots will use artificial intelligence to help service professionals reach and communicate with customers in an affordable way. Just last week, Facebook announced 30,000 bots would soon be payment-enabled for the 900 million users of its Messenger platform.

cognitive computing
Chatterbox Labs is a Cognitive data science company focused on delivering real world business outcomes that drive multi-million dollar outcomes. As a company we often find ourselves explaining the key differences between RPA and Cognitive. Fundamentally, RPA and Cognitive are two completely different offerings that both have merit, however, we describe RPA as the "Finger Tapping" as opposed to the "Brain Mapping" of Cognitive. RPA is a different and lower value proposition compared to Cognitive. Cognitive is built and ready to address 90% of the worlds data that is unstructured and not monetized…..RPA cannot address this market Cognitive is focused on processing 148K documents per second and achieving accuracy of 80% which is higher than human accuracy.
MIT Researchers Create Device That Detects Human Emotions Using Wireless Signals
Researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory have created a device that can read human emotions using wireless signals. The EQ-Radio reads subtle changes in breathing and heart rhythms to figure out if a person is happy, excited, angry or sad. The device measures heartbeats like an ECG monitor with a margin of error of 0.3 percent. It then analyzes the waveforms within each heartbeat to determine the person's emotion. "Our work shows that wireless signals can capture information about human behavior that is not always visible to the naked eye," project lead Dina Katabi, who co-wrote a paper on the topic with PhD students Mingmin Zhao and Fadel Adib, said in a statement Tuesday.
Personalized Recommendations are Disrupting Retail - Find out Why.
Recommendation systems allow executives and manager to recommend products their customers will like, and in the process take the guesswork out of marketing efforts - but they're still underused, and often under perform. We explain their use cases, how they work, why they might fail, and how to solve these issues. In a world dominated by mail, social media, youtube ads, chat applications and other communication technologies, marketing executives and managers have never had more ways of reaching out to customers. Yet this explosion in communication channels is a mixed blessing: while customers can be reached more easily, marketing teams also need to tailor their message much more than a decade ago: gone are the days of "one message to every customer". Non-tailored messages are often considered like junk or spam, and have become largely ineffective at driving sales.
Wipro and Vectra Networks Partner to deliver Automated 'Threat Hunting as- a- Service'
Wipro will leverage the Vectra automated threat management platform built with artificial intelligence-based on machine learning and behavioral analytics to detect attacker behaviors and user anomalies in the network. According to Gartner, "most enterprises have limited capabilities to detect and respond to breaches when they inevitably occur, resulting in longer'dwell times' and increased damage." We believe organizations these days incur significant fines because they do not have adequate solutions to detect breaches or cannot contain them in a reasonable period. Gartner also says that by 2020, 60% of enterprise information security budgets will be allocated to rapid detection and response approaches -- up from less than 10% in 2014.1 As threats became more intelligent and sophisticated, traditional security solutions will become inadequate over time because they will continue to make snap judgments based on incomplete information. Wipro's'Threat Hunting as- a- Service' offering, powered by Vectra Networks, provides enterprises with an automated threat hunting platform for real-time detection of threats.
How artificial intelligence will drive the future of workforce automation
For business environments, many tasks are already being performed through the automated functions of intelligent machines, such as scheduling, report compilations and invoice tracking. Increased productivity is the common goal for any competitive enterprise, and for business, the benefits of automation are clear: allow for tasks to be completed faster in a way that is cost-effective and error-free. AI enables the cost-cutting automation of routine work but can also empower value-adding augmentation of human capabilities. Tasks such as scheduling, allocating resources and generating reports across business sectors have typically been reserved for humans but can now fall within the remit of intelligent processes to execute.
How artificial intelligence will drive the future of workforce automation
Futurists and science fiction writers have always looked ahead to predict how machines could augment the way people live and work. Still, a future where technology fully replaces physical work is distant, but it's no surprise that Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a bit of a buzzword among technology and business circles lately. The topic of AI often generates strong reactions, with proponents who note its boundless potential reach and others who see it as a nadir for the global workforce. However, industries across the board have noted the potential of AI and how it will impact enterprises at the core. According to Narrative Science, 44 per cent of executives believe artificial intelligence's most important benefit is'automated communications that provide data that can be used to make decisions'.
