Google this week announced a new cloud-based Machine Learning platform for developers or businesses that'll allow users to access the company's artificial intelligence technology, reports Computerworld. Google is using its Machine Learning service to differentiate its cloud services from its competitors, which include the market-leading Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. The announcement was made during the GCP Next conference, a global cloud event that was hosted by Google. Google's new Cloud Machine Learning platform opens the door for developers to take advantage of Google's artificial neural networks. This makes it possible for the cloud to move beyond a storage medium and become a tool for analyzing large amounts to data.

TayAndYou was supposed to be a Teenage Girl-like AI for twitter. Microsoft's proof it could create chat bots to do customer service. The problem was Microsoft didn't leave on any training wheels, and didn't make the bot self reflective. We have all had a bad day, and wanted to tell the person who is bugging us that they are acting like a Nazi. Tay, on the other hand, didn't know that she should just ignore the people who act like Nazi's, and so she became one herself.

Artificial intelligence has come a long way and computers may one day do a better job of diagnosising your health problems than Doctors. In the meantime, we can make it easier to self diagnosis ourselves (something everyone already does online) with a Twitter chatbot. You engage the bot and it asks you a series of questions, identifies your symptoms and offers possible diagnosises. Perfect opportunity for IBM to have it powered by Watson.

Researchers from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have created an algorithm that can predict how memorable or forgettable an image is almost as accurately as humans -- and they plan to turn it into an app that subtly tweaks photos to make them more memorable. For each photo, the "MemNet" algorithm -- which you can try out online by uploading your own photos -- also creates a heat map that identifies exactly which parts of the image are most memorable. "Understanding memorability can help us make systems to capture the most important information, or, conversely, to store information that humans will most likely forget," says CSAIL graduate student Aditya Khosla, who was lead author on a related paper. "It's like having an instant focus group that tells you how likely it is that someone will remember a visual message." Team members picture a variety of potential applications, from improving the content of ads and social media posts, to developing more effective teaching resources, to creating your own personal "health-assistant" device to help you remember things.

Soccer aficionados will never forget the headbutt by French soccer great Zinadine Zidane during the 2006 World Cup final. Caught on video camera, Zidane's attack on Italian player Marco Materazzi after a verbal exchange got him a red ticket. He left the field, making it easier for Italy to become world champions. The world found out later about Materazzi's abusive words of Zidane's female relatives. "If we had good lip-reading technology Zidane's reaction could have been explained or they would've both gotten sent out," says Helen Bear, a computer scientist at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, UK. "Maybe the match outcome would be different."

Empowering the data-driven organization is a core element of our strategy at Hewlett Packard Enterprise. This can sound like just another fancy marketing campaign – unless you were in a seat at the Seize the Data Analytics World Tour event in Palo Alto. DreamWorks Animation's Jeff Wike presenting at the Silicon Valley event As I sat smiling through the Kung Fu Panda 3 trailer and watched Jeff Wike, Head of Technology for Film and TV Production at DreamWorks Animation, take the stage, I expected to hear how analytics helped DreamWorks Animation analyze how many people watched the film and how they chose to do so - in the theater, on demand, on what device. That information is foundational to any organization in the media industries these days. I didn't expect to hear that the HPE Vertica Advanced Analytics database improved the ability of artists to iterate design and even render panda fur by minimizing compute resources, or how the studio was able to quickly redesign the characters' facial movements when the movie was translated to Mandarin, also due to the power of analytics.

The increase in complexity, along with the accelerating rate of change in IT are the two factors that make it so difficult for IT operations teams to identify issues without having deep knowledge of a particular setup. This complexity also means that technical people are staring at incomplete screens, showing only a part of the overall situation: one layer of the stack, one area of the network, or one business service. It has been said that the probability of an error is O(?N), where N is the number of times a human being has to intervene. As complexity and pace of change increase, however, the need for human intervention grows too, and with it the probability of somebody missing something or misinterpreting a signal. So how can IT operations teams gain a 360-degree understanding of what's taking place across the entire IT production stack?

To start using the Search API you have to create an Index of information or use one from a number of public text Indexes like Wikipedia. Then you can start performing searches on them through the Query Text Index API by building queries using natural language text, keywords, and Boolean expressions. Its potential can be maximized by combining it with the Find Related Concepts,the Find Similar, or the Text Tokenization APIs.
