How Shutterstock Uses Machine Learning to Improve the User Experience

#artificialintelligence

Most companies know by now that the key to making smart and strategic decisions is to look at both current and past data as a cornerstone for future business. Business intelligence teams and other analysts are brought on to enable more efficient decision making across every department. This can lead to visible changes for customers or viable improvements to process for employees. Advances in computer vision have opened up opportunities to apply data like never before. As artificial intelligence has become an increasingly popular topic of late and corresponding neural networks have improved, it's a great time to revisit how – and when – your company is applying its data.


Azure Machine Learning now supports multiple versions of R and Python - The Fire Hose

#artificialintelligence

Data scientists building new models in R or Python often want to use the latest runtime and package versions, which have the newest features and bug fixes. They might also have existing production models they have to maintain that rely on older versions. Now Azure Machine Learning provides support for multiple R and Python versions. Choose a newer version when building a new experiment, or update existing scripts to run under a newer version. Or keep using an old version if a legacy model depends on it.


Rethinking reengineering - Accenture Outlook

#artificialintelligence

Today, companies compete for analysts, engineers and data scientists who have hard technical skills and knowledge of distributed computing systems and analytical tools.3 But in the world of machine-reengineering, workers will also need other skills that could be as unconventional as the processes they support.4 These include the ability to program "belief spaces"--advanced probabilistic models that help robots deal with uncertainty--and to work well with intelligent machines.5 Mercedes-Benz, for example, has replaced large, inflexible factory robots with people and smaller, more flexible robots. Now Mercedes-Benz needs a workforce that can teach robots how to collaborate closely with employees on the factory floor.


PatternEx Hosting Artificial Intelligence Workshop for CISOs at Black Hat

#artificialintelligence

The workshop will be led by two AI security experts with years in the field, and will demystify Artificial Intelligence before exploring its application in cyber defense. Dr. Kalyan Veeramachaneni is currently a research scientist at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), and has been conducting research in the field for years. He will be joined by Dr. Ignacio Arnaldo, the Chief Data Scientist at PatternEx and former researcher at MIT CSAIL. Together they will facilitate an interactive, vendor agnostic discussion which will provide a foundation for understanding emerging artificial intelligence solutions in InfoSec. "During the time that we have been talking with security leaders from around the world we have found a strong interest in the potential of AI in InfoSec, but there is too much jargon and marketing speak out there," comments Travis Reed, CMO for PatternEx.


Dark data? Not if Teradata and Nuix can help it

PCWorld

Big data may promise a world of new insight, but if it can't be analyzed, you can kiss that potential goodbye. Enter Teradata and Nuix, which on Tuesday teamed up to bring so-called "dark data" to light. Dark data is generally considered any data that gets overlooked and underused, often because employees don't know it's there or don't know how to access it. It's widely thought that dark data accounts for a majority of most companies' information assets. Through their partnership, the companies will integrate Nuix's namesake data processing and indexing engine with Teradata's Aster Analytics software, giving organizations a new way to uncover their dark data and analyze it on the spot.

Having stomach troubles? Try swallowing an origami robot

Boston Herald

Has your child swallowed a small battery? In the future, a tiny robot made from pig gut could capture it and expel it. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are designing an ingestible robot that could bpatch wounds, deliver medicine or dislodge a foreign object. They call their experiment an "origami robot" because the accordion-shaped gadget gets folded up and frozen into an ice capsule. "You swallow the robot, and when it gets to your stomach the ice melts and the robot unfolds," said Daniela Rus, a professor who directs MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.
