Apple takes its security and Artificial Intelligence a step higher

#artificialintelligence

In order to take its security and Artificial Intelligence benefits a step higher, Apple allegedly has acquired Israeli cyber security firm RealFace that specializes in facial recognition innovation. As per the details provided by report released by Times of Israel the startup was established in 2014, was taken over by Apple for an expected sum of $2 million. This acquisition had added fuel to the current rumors about the fact that iPhone's next model may accompany facial authentication innovation. RealFace has built up a special facial recognition innovation that incorporates artificial intelligence and "brings back human perception to digital processes".The organization has goals of making profound learning-controlled biometric logins standard and passwords redundant while opening your cell phone or PC. The Israeli startup likewise built up a now-old application called Pickeez, which chose and examined a client's best photographs crosswise over different stages utilizing the RealFace acknowledgment programming.


Machine learning in hybrid transaction/analytics processing

#artificialintelligence

Fundamentally, machine learning is a productivity tool for data scientists. As the heart of systems that can learn from data, machine learning allows data scientists to train a model on an example data set and then leverage algorithms that automatically generalize and learn both from that example...

How A.I. Could Be Our Most Intelligent Defense

#artificialintelligence

If you'll be attending the RSA Conference in February and are looking to learn some hacking tips and tricks, Cylance CEO and President Stuart McClure will be presenting on February 15th at 1:30 PM on Hacking Exposed NextGen. Stuart will demonstrate some live exploits and real-life hacking on everyday technology, and will also show you how to prevent them using simple countermeasures. We urge you to join Stuart for this amazing presentation at the Marriott Marquis in Yerba Buena 5. Reserve your seat today! In the meantime, get ready for RSA by watching Stuart's recent CBS News interview, during which he discusses why "who did the hacking" is a less important question than how to stop it: STUART: "Our approach is really quite different than anything else you'll find out there. We take a purely mathematical approach. We believe that you can actually identify attacks long before they ever start, and truly prevent them. This is done through what we call AI prediction. We've trained computers over millions and millions of files and attacks, to learn exactly what makes them up - the DNA of these attacks. By understanding the DNA mathematically, now we can prevent and protect against future attacks. So it looks like we're predicting attacks, when really, we've just learned through AI machine learning what the DNA of these attacks is. We see ourselves today as applying artificial intelligence to cybersecurity in a truly preventative and predictive way. We see the company expanding far beyond cybersecurity. The techniques that we are using are very applicable to other areas and fields of study. Anything that you want to try and classify effectively. For example, another application might be healthcare, or diagnostics - for example an MRI scan. Being able to detect early forms of cancer or disease. They take large amounts of data that you and I would fall asleep trying to process, and they never forget what they process. And they can learn from that to make decisions going forward."


Nadella woos India Inc. with artificial intelligence

#artificialintelligence

When Binny Bansal, co-founder of India's largest retailer Flipkart was studying at IIT-Delhi, nobody at his institute was interested in the subject of artificial intelligence. "Because nothing was happening in India," Mr. Bansal told his co-panelists Satya Nadella, chief executive of Microsoft and Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani during a fireside chat at an event in Bengaluru. That was 15 years ago and a lot has changed since. On Monday, Mr. Nadella, who leads the world's largest software maker, announced a strategic partnership with Flipkart, where the e-commerce company would adopt the company's cloud computing platform, Microsoft Azure. Flipkart said that it planned to leverage artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and analytics capabilities in Azure to optimise its data for innovative merchandising, advertising, marketing and customer service.


Artificial intelligence set to transform the patient experience, but many questions still to be answered

#artificialintelligence

ORLANDO โ€“ From Watson to Siri, Alexa to Cortana, consumers and patients have become much more familiar with artificial intelligence and natural language processing in recent years. Pick your terminology: machine learning, cognitive computing, neural networks/deep learning. All are becoming more commonplace โ€“ in our smartphones, in our kitchens โ€“ and as they continue to evolve at a rapid pace, expectations are high for how they'll impact healthcare. As it sparks equal part doubt and hope (and not a little hype) from patients, physicians and technologists, a panel of IT experts at HIMSS17 discussed the future of AI in healthcare on Sunday afternoon. Kenneth Kleinberg, managing director at The Advisory Board Company, spoke with execs from two medical AI startups: Cory Kidd, CEO of Catalia Health, and Jay Parkinson, MD, founder and CMO of Sherpaa.


Facial recognition technology can identify lemurs

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Facial recognition technology used to identify criminals can also identify lemurs with a near perfect level of accuracy. The system, called LemurFaceID, is a facial recognition system that works by identifying individual lemurs based on photographs of them. The system can facilitate the long-term research of known individual lemurs, which could help with understanding how lemurs evolve and how to best conserve them. The LemurFaceID system scored 98.7 per cent accuracy after 100 trials of using the system. Amateur photographers took photos of the lemurs in Ranomafana National Park (RNP), a rainforest in southeastern Madagascar.


Cuban: Trump can't stop rise of the robots and their effect on U.S. jobs

(Photo: Mark Wilson, Getty Images) Add Mark Cuban to the list of tech visionaries exhorting the need to address the advance of robotics and artificial intelligence. "Automation is going to cause unemployment and we need to prepare for it," Cuban posted on Twitter with a link to an essay about the rise of robots in the workplace. Automation is going to cause unemployment and we need to prepare for it. Employment and jobs have been a hot topic recently with President Trump's emphasis on getting U.S. corporations to focus on jobs at home and his plans of tightening of trade and immigration policies to foster job growth. Automakers including Fiat Chrysler, GM and Ford, as well as Intel and Walmart have recently announced plans that the companies say will create new jobs.


Jeff Dean on machine learning, part 2: TensorFlow Google Cloud Big Data and Machine Learning Blog Google Cloud Platform

#artificialintelligence

TensorFlow is the machine-learning library open sourced by Google in November 2015. It gained over 11,000 stars on GitHub in its first week after launch, and has built up quite a community since then: at the time of this writing, TensorFlow has over 45,000 stars, 13,000 commits and 21,000 forks. This is the second installment in our interview series with Jeff Dean, Google Senior Fellow and lead of the Google Brain research team. In our first installment, we talked about the landscape of machine learning: its past, present and future. In this installment, we'll cover TensorFlow: why we built it originally, how to use it, and what its future may hold.
