It's technology available today already being applied to search engines. Leading visionaries in search technology, including Google's Beshad Behzadi in his keynote speech at the SMX West Keynote to Satya Nadella at Microsoft's Build conference, are articulating a vision of smarter and more capable personalized help that will drive efficiency, focus and ultimately, happiness. Nadella believes the next big bet for Microsoft is "conversation as a platform." This is a more intuitive and accessible canvass integrating into apps, as well as artificial intelligence (A.I.) and bots that can interact with other bots. While the devices and technology used to access search are evolving, search will still be an increasingly integral part of everyday life.

Mia is your new marketing assistant, according to Signpost. Signpost is a marketing automation and CRM solution with out 6,000 customers, all of which are about to sample artificial intelligence in a new area of their business. Mia, their latest feature, uses "machine learning to eliminate the need for a traditional CRM and other forms of manual marketing." Given Mia's perceived intelligence, Signpost has been referring to her as a person, and apparently, she's set to change the way marketers interact with customers. That last claim is a bold one indeed, but it seems as though Mia may be up to the task in some respects.

When Ian Burkhart was 19 years old, he was in an accident that damaged his spinal cord. He was paralysed from the chest down, losing all feeling in his hands and feet. Now a team of scientists and doctors in the USA have been able to restore some control in Burkhart's right hand through the use of innovative technology. For five years Burkhart – who broke his neck when he dove under a wave at a beach in North Carolina – has been unable to do mundane tasks like stir a straw. The procedure has enabled Burkhart, now 24, to use his hand and fingers, but it has not eliminated the paralysis.

Auckland-based software developer Touchpoint Group has launched a new artificial intelligence program, designed to help companies better understand customer behaviours. Labelled Ipiphany, it is the first cognitive analytics program in the world to be able to simultaneously "learn" from combinations of customer information collected via text, machine learning and natural language processing. Launched following a three-year cognitive behaviour research project by data scientists in Australia and New Zealand, the research allowed Touchpoint Group to develop a cloud-based solution designed to deliver faster insight compared to traditional research methodologies. Formed in Auckland in 2001, Touchpoint is one of the region's leading developer of customer engagement software across industries including banking, insurance, and utilities, and already provides solutions for many of the largest banking and financial services companies. Touchpoint Group CEO Frank van der Velden believes Ipiphany could "dramatically improve" the financial returns from existing investments in "customer data" made by large companies.

If this year's selection of electable decisionmakers feels like it leaves something to be desired, then here's a story for you. Imagine a world without politicians, or, really, politics. Policy options are instead plugged into a sophisticated program and 1,000 or 100,000 simulations are made. Likely outcomes of the policy change are analyzed and unintended consequences are made visible. Politics are reduced to an argument over what inputs should take precedence in the model, not over what decision to make, and the arguments have to contend with data, which takes precedence over all.

In this special guest feature, Gary Baum, Vice President of Marketing at MyScript, talks about how handwriting recognition is enhancing machine (and human) learning. As an input method, handwriting recognition teaches machines to adapt to the user, adding in another layer to their evolving skill set. Those users can program systems simply by jotting down notes and in turn, build platforms most reflective of the human experience. Gary is a tech industry veteran with more than 20 years of executive marketing and product management experience. At MyScript, he oversees global marketing activities and educational efforts to build MyScript brand awareness and drive technology adoption, expand and commercialize digital ink technology offerings, and nurture strategic collaborations and partnerships within the digital writing ecosystem.

Boosting is an ensemble technique that attempts to create a strong classifier from a number of weak classifiers. In this post you will discover the AdaBoost Ensemble method for machine learning. This post was written for developers and assumes no background in statistics or mathematics. The post focuses on how the algorithm works and how to use it for predictive modeling problems. If you have any questions, leave a comment and I will do my best to answer.

Where marketers used to rely on a mix of broad demographic data and personal intuition to engage audiences, data analytics and predictive algorithms are now helping them tailor messaging right down to the word. Machine learning lets you say: I want to target people that have posted a picture of a guitar in the last three months, or: I want to target people with the INTP personality type that posted something angry about Bernie Sanders recently. Markers have really managed to crack the code and find ways to innovate using machine learning. Join us and hear indico CEO Slater Victoroff explore the science behind today's stronger, data-driven marketing campaigns, and find out how you can start applying these strategies to your business!
