Beer brewed with the help of AI? Yup, that's now a thing
Four beers have been created, with each recipe altered based on customer feedback received by an algorithm. The system is hidden behind a Facebook Messenger bot, which takes feedback from customers and sends it onto human brewers who change recipes accordingly. This information is then interpreted by the algorithm, which learns from customer feedback to ask better questions in the future. The bot asks questions based on customer preference and flavour and answers are normally marks out of ten, yes or no and multiple choice.
Beer brewed with the help of AI? Yup, that's now a thing
The world's first beer brewed with the help of artificial intelligence is now on sale. Four beers have been created, with each recipe altered based on customer feedback received by an algorithm. The system is hidden behind a Facebook Messenger bot, which takes feedback from customers and sends it onto human brewers who change recipes accordingly. IntelligentX, the company behind the beers, said the use of AI would help brewers receive and test customer feedback "more quickly than ever before". Codes printed on the bottles direct people towards the bot, which then asks a series of questions.
The Future of Human Communication: How Artificial Intelligence Will Transform the Way We Communicate
The goal of any communication, whether it's a letter to shareholders or a keynote address, is to influence the audience in some way. As we prepare to deliver key messages, the question on our minds is always Will this work? Will this have the desired effect on my audience? With enough resources invested in test audiences, focus groups, and certain media monitoring platforms, you may begin to get an answer to that question. Unfortunately, these costly, time-consuming methods are out of the realm of possibility for many companies, and most individuals.
Teaching machines to talk: My role in innovating machine understanding -- Init.ai Decoded
We are participating in a world where the limit to what computers can do is less bounded than ever. Firmly past the AI winters, speculation about where machine learning can take technology is reaching new heights of not only optimism but tangible results. In Alan Turing's fever dream of 2016, it seems like computers can learn just about anything. But the tools we have for artificial intelligence are powerful, certainly. Big tech players, Google and Apple, have recognized that and are pouring money and effort into beefing up their ML chops.
Machine Learning Advice for Developers
So you're a programmer and want to get your hands dirty with some artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML)? I did an interview with TechWorld on machine learning advice for developers, but the final writeup didn't include most of the material, so here are the questions with my full answers: When I started in AI and ML I read Peter Norvig's "Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach", and I've probably read it three times now. It's important to fundamentally understand the algorithms you'll be using, otherwise every ML method is a black box and the best you can do is blindly throw them at problems. Then try doing ML projects, like Kaggle competitions, where you have a clear definition of what you're trying to learn--like a specific algorithm or toolkit. You're going to fail, often, but that's how to best learn ML techniques.

Google is internally building two Android Wear smartwatches, according to Android Police, and they could be Nexus-branded. The report says one of the smartwatches will be larger, with a diameter of 43.5mm, and features LTE, GPS, and a heart-rate monitor. The smaller Android Wear smartwatch will not include LTE nor GPS, and it has a diameter of 42mm. Android Police, citing multiple sources, adds the two smartwatches could feature Google Assistant integration -- the platform Google unveiled at Google I/O 2016 -- as a way of users gaining contextual information through "an ongoing two-way dialogue".
Coming Soon to a Mainframe Near You: Machine Learning, Part 1 - Syncsort blog
Mainframe machine learning poised to take off. Is Terminator Skynet far off? So far the mainframe big data story has been very useful, but pretty tame: logs for operational intelligence, improved cybersecurity, improved retention period, fancier dashboards. Here's betting that it's going to get much more interesting -- and probably already is in some shops. ML is a discipline that Google has fully embraced.
