Google is looking at a future where people would not even notice their own gadgets. This is what the company's CEO Sundar Pichai shared in their annual shareholder letter, emphasizing the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Google's annual shareholder letter this year was the first since Alphabet was announced in August 2015 as the company's parent company. According to reports, Google Search is what got the company started, and also considered as its future. However, search has become different than it was when Google launched it in 1998, and is also expected to be greatly different that it is now, eWeek reported.

The market for AI applications is white hot with huge potential, but that potential needs to be tempered by a heavy dose of realism about the capabilities and business value of artificial intelligence technology, according to industry analysts. "It's sort of captured the imagination of the world in general, but the danger we have with AI is expectations getting too high," said Mike Gualtieri, an analyst with Forrester Research. From the early days of computing, the story of AI applications has always been one of early excitement, huge hype and inevitable bust. Every decade or so, some advance in computing power has led to speculation that machines capable of replicating some aspect of human thought were right around the corner. But each time the challenges proved too difficult, and the technology was not ready.

RE•WORK will host it's annual East Coast events on Deep Learning and the Internet of Things in Boston on 12 & 13 May. Over 300 machine learning and IoT enthusiasts and experts will come together to hear keynote presentations, panel discussions, fireside chats and to explore the startup showcase area. The Deep Learning Summit brings together leaders from industry, academia and startups to explore advances in deep learning methods and techniques, as well as their business applications in areas including finance, manufacturing, healthcare & transportation. The Connected Home Summit is the fifth installment in RE•WORK's Internet of Things series, following the Connected City Summit held in London earlier in 2016 and previous IoT Summits in San Francisco, London and Boston as well as dinners and meetups in 2015. The Summits are a unique opportunity to meet and interact with CTOs, founders, data scientists, engineers, designers and industry experts leading the connected home and deep learning revolutions.

This is going to be the home for any Data Science/Machine Learning links that my team thinks are interesting/useful, and hopefully it's useful to you as well.

It provides an agnostic introduction to operational ML with open source and cloud platforms. It is the first ML workshop to go all the way from data preparation to the integration of predictive models in real-world applications and their deployment in production. Participants will learn to use Python open source libraries scikit-learn, Pandas and SKLL, and cloud platforms Microsoft Azure ML, Amazon ML, BigML and Indico (along with their APIs).

The term'Artificial Intelligence' was originally coined in the 1950s by the computer scientist John McCarthy. Today, the hype around artificial intelligence (AI) is ramping up, especially as big tech companies like Apple, Amazon, Google, Facebook, IBM and Microsoft attempt to commercialize its use. Digital Ad Agencies are also starting to figure out how they can leverage Artificial Intelligence techniques to make their clients' marketing and advertising efforts more effective. Marketing is a complex field of decision making which involves a large degree of both judgment and intuition on behalf of the marketer. Artificial Intelligence techniques are increasingly extending decision support through analyzing trends; providing forecasts; reducing information overload; enabling communication required for collaborative decisions, and allowing for up-to-date information.

Recently, bots have been making the headlines as the new apps: conversation will play an important role in the next interface between humans and machines. Recast.AI is a collaborative platform allowing developers to create and deploy conversational agents on any channel. In this talk, Paul will approach four major problematics he faced while developing Recast's bot framework: modeling a conversation, understanding natural language, finding and extracting keywords, and generating language. His presentation will tackle the entire process of bot creation, from it's global implications to its core technicalities.

In warehouses, hospitals and retail stores, and on city streets, industrial parks and the footpaths of college campuses, the first representatives of this new invading force are starting to become apparent. "The robots are among us," says Steve Jurvetson, a Silicon Valley investor and a director at Elon Musk's Tesla and SpaceX companies, which have relied heavily on robotics. A multitude of machines will follow, he says: "A lot of people are going to come in contact with robots in the next two to five years." The arrival of the robots -- and their potentially devastating effect on human employment -- has been widely predicted. Now, the machines are starting to roll or walk out of the labs.

A new app that uses a neural network combined with facial recognition software to help put names to faces in random photographs by scanning social network data is being used in Russia to identify and harass young women who have previously appeared in pornographic films. Trinity Digital, an app developer in Russia, released a free iOS and Android app called FindFace in February that enables people to identify people by taking a random photograph and using its neural network to figure out the person's name, location, occupation and other details. A neural network is a huge network of computers that are trained using computer algorithms to solve complex problems quickly, as well as improving artificial intelligence by gaining a deeper recognition and understanding of art and the world around us. On 9 April, members of a disreputable imageboard called Dvach, which is like the Russian cousin of 4chan, launched a campaign to deliberately try to locate and identify actresses who appear in pornography, as well as women listed on Intimcity, a Russian website advertising prostitution and escort services. Using FindFace, the Dvach users not only identified the women, but they also shared archived copies of their profiles on Vkontakte (the Russian version of Facebook) publicly online and repeatedly spammed the families of the women letting them know that they had been outed as porn stars and prostitutes.
