Facebook is using artificial intelligence to allow users to compose one post in multiple languages. The issue is critical given that half of Facebook's customer base doesn't speak English. The social networking giant said it will begin testing an in-house tool called the "multiligual composer." Using the composer, Facebook customer can write one post and viewers will see it in their preferred language. For Facebook, its scale will improve its machine translation models for less common languages.

Artificial intelligence has been difficult to adopt; it's either too complex or too expensive. To solve this problem, we specifically designed Emozionella AI to be fast, reliable and easy to implement for apps. Our revolutionary A.I. solution works on two levels: the «identification» algorithms recognize the personality of each user and the context of each interaction; the «cognitive» algorithms determine what content or feature is most relevant and how to present it best. Emozionella AI algorithms are configured during the implementation project to match the specifics and requirements of the brand.

Intel will be inside BMW's iNEXT, a completely autonomous car the automaker plans to release by 2021. Intel and visual analytics company Mobileye, will provide underlying technology for the iNEXT to roam streets without human assistance. It's an awkward day to make this announcement, given Thursday's news of a NHTSA investigation following the first known fatality in a self-driving car. The accident involved Tesla's self-driving Autopilot feature, officially in beta but widely used by enthusiastic Tesla customers. Autopilot was engaged when a Model S rammed into a left-turning semi in May, killing the driver.

Finding insight in oceans of data is one of enterprises' most pressing challenges, and increasingly AI is being brought in to help. Now, a new tool for Apache Spark aims to put machine learning within closer reach. Announced on Friday, Sparkling Water 2.0 is a major new update from H2O.ai that's designed to make it easier for companies using Spark to bring machine-learning algorithms into their analyses. It's essentially an API (application programming interface) that lets Spark users tap H2O's open-source artificial-intelligence platform instead of -- or alongside -- the algorithms included in Spark's own MLlib machine-learning library. Among the highlights of the new software is the ability to run Spark and Scala through H2O's Flow user interface.

Many aspects of my life are neat and organized. My computer is not one of them. I rarely purge my system of old files and photos. I forget to uninstall software I don't need anymore. My desktop is a mess of thumbnails and documents.

The U.S. announced Thursday the first fatality in a wreck involving a car in self-driving mode. The government said it is investigating the design and performance of the system aboard the Tesla Model S sedan. A file picture dated 30 April 2015 shows a Tesla Motors Model S on a parking lot of the Tesla Motors Headquarters in Palo Alto, California, USA. Questions abound in the wake of the first death of a driver of a Tesla car with its self-driving features engaged. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which has begun a preliminary evaluation into the fatal May 7 crash of a 2015 Model S electric car, said its probe centers on the car's'Autopilot' feature.

More than 1.5 billion people use Facebook. And only half speak English. The rest speak so many dozens of other languages, effectively silo'd off from the English speakers and, in many cases, from each other. If you stumble onto a Facebook post in a foreign language, Facebook lets you instantly translate it--in a semi-effective way. And beginning today, millions of people will have the option of instantly translating their own posts into any one of 44 other languages, so that they will automatically show up in your News Feed in your native tongue.

Intel wants to take on Google's Tensor Processing Unit and Nvidia's GPUs in machine learning computing with improvements to its Xeon Phi mega-chips. The company will add new features to Xeon Phi to tune it for machine learning, said Nidhi Chappell, director of machine learning at Intel. Machine learning, a trendy technology, allows software to be trained to do tasks like image recognition or data analysis more efficiently. Intel didn't disclose when the new features will be added, but the next version of Xeon Phi will come by 2018. Intel's already behind chip rivals in machine learning, so it may have to speed up the next Xeon Phi release.

Walk into a conference room on the 16th floor of an Uber Engineering building on Market Street in San Francisco. You enter an intense discussion around a table with software and data engineers, data scientists, modeling experts, and even a product manager. How to determine a fraudulent user. Fraud prevention is one of the fastest growing areas of research and development at Uber. As our platform has grown, so has the international underworld that tries to undermine it.

When I was in high school, one of the required classes I had to take was a shop class. I had been taking mostly what the school called "enriched" courses, or what were mostly academic classes that featured primarily reading, writing, and arithmetic. A shop class had more of a trade focus. I was surprised when the first lesson on the first day of my shop class was a richer academic experience than any of the enriched classes I had taken. The instructor started talking about systems, and how many manufacturing processes involved breaking products down into different systems.
