Since the advent of Siri, personal digital assistants have been an exciting thing. We later saw Google Now and then came Microsoft's Cortana. While digital assistants can do a lot more there is another category, the bots. Many of us would have observed that replies to customers from telcos in social networks appear to be robotic in nature. According to our sources in the telecom industry, they aren't handled by bots yet.

A Passion for Research Internet of Things, Machine Learning & Robotics Are High Priorities For Developers In 2016 by Louis Columbus on June 25, 2016 56.4% of developers are building robotics apps today. These and many other insights are from the Evans Data Corporation Global Development Survey, Volume 1 (PDF, client access) published earlier this month. The methodology was based on interviews with developers actively creating new applications with the latest technologies. The Evans Data Corporation (EDC), International Panel of Developers, were sent invitations to participate and complete the survey online. Please see page 17 of the study for additional details on the methodology.

Deep Learning is a new area of Machine Learning research, which has been introduced with the objective of moving Machine Learning closer to one of its original goals: Artificial Intelligence. Join Jennifer Marsman as she welcomes Sonja Knoll to the show as they take a deep dive into Deep Learning as well as apply some real-world scenarios for you to try out on your own.

Recent observations of galaxies at z \gtrsim 7, along with the low value of the electron scattering optical depth measured by the Planck mission, make galaxies plausible as dominant sources of ionizing photons during the epoch of reionization. However, scenarios of galaxy-driven reionization hinge on the assumption that the average escape fraction of ionizing photons is significantly higher for galaxies in the reionization epoch than in the local Universe. The NIRSpec instrument on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will enable spectroscopic observations of large samples of reionization-epoch galaxies. While the leakage of ionizing photons will not be directly measurable from these spectra, the leakage is predicted to have an indirect effect on the spectral slope and the strength of nebular emission lines in the rest-frame ultraviolet and optical. Here, we apply a machine learning technique known as lasso regression on mock JWST/NIRSpec observations of simulated z 7 galaxies in order to obtain a model that can predict the escape fraction from JWST/NIRSpec data.

The End of Talent Management as We Know It.

I've been really interested in AI and bots lately. I decided to think about a bot experience for YouTube.

I've just run my second briefing on intelligent assistance. Much happened in the few months between sessions. This time, the second half of the day was dominated with stories about bots and their use cases on messaging platforms. It also included the amazing things now possible via automated voice which Amazon's Alexa Challenge exemplifies. Meanwhile IBM's Watson continues its conquest of carbon life forms with the trashing of an extraordinarily talented Go grand master.

Artificial Intelligence - is it something that's closer to reality than we realize? The answer is most certainly yes. Up until now AI has been the stuff of science fiction, but that's not going to be the case for much longer. Megacorporation Google is stepping in to bring on the future with its moves towards creating AI. SEO Leads To More Than Search Rankings Google is creating the foundation for AI by enticing companies to create high quality content to rank high in SEO.
