A team of researchers has devised a way of accurately tracking web users across multiple browsers. The breakthrough could prove particularly useful to advertisers, enabling them to continue serving targeted ads to internet users, even if they tried to avoid them by switching from Chrome to Firefox or Windows Edge. The research can be found in a paper penned by Lehigh University's Yinzhi Cao and Song Li, and Washington University in St. Louis' Erik Wijmans, titled (Cross-)Browser Fingerprinting via OS and Hardware Level Features. The technique reliably identifies the'digital fingerprint' of users' browsers, based on information such as extensions, plugins, time zone and whether or not an adblocker is installed.

When it comes to machine learning and data science, there are so many language options to choose from. Data scientist Jean-Francois Puget does some analysis to decide which one is best. What programming language should you learn to get a machine learning or data science job? I could provide my own answer to it and explain why, but I'd rather look at some data first. After all, this is what machine learners and data scientists should do: look at data, not opinions. So, let's look at some data.

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (ML) are not brand new concepts but over the last few years we've started to hear an awful lot more about how those technologies are in use by search engine companies. Google uses Machine Learning to help determine things like the quality of a webpage and the meaning of search queries; with the goal to always improve the quality of a search result. We're living in a world where slowly, but surely, the services we're surrounded by are adopting more and more features driven by machine learning systems. As a consumer you're never really told that a service you use is ML based, you just use it. Amazon uses Machine Learning to improve the quality of the recommendations they make to their customers, for example.

When I completed my degree in neuroinformatics in 2005, the next career step on the same topic was to go into research or to do a PhD. The areas of machine learning, cognitive science, natural language processing, robotics and all the other parts that make artificial intelligence where academic disciplines that had not hit the broad markets yet. Most companies at that time were still struggling to find out how to use the Internet. Remember, we are talking about web 1.0 with its static web pages, wonderful blinking captions, gif-buttons and online guestbooks. Happy about achieving my master's degree, I did not feel like becoming a scientist or continuing my studies, so (by coincidence) I started doing SAP consultancy. I do not want to say bad things about R/3, but at the time, going from neural nets coding that we did at the University of Edinburgh to ABAP felt like taking a step (or three) backwards in time and technology.

Not only can Amazon predict what products you're most likely to purchase, but it is also has the ability to guess your age. The firm's AI, Rekognition, received an update that provides an estimated age range of a person in an uploaded image – the value is expressed in years and is returned as a pair of integers. Amazon believes this new attribute can be used to power public safety applications, collect demographics or create a timelapse in photos. The firm's AI, Rekognition, received an update that provides an estimated age range of a person in an uploaded image. Amazon Rekognition is a developer toolkit that is part of the firm's AWS cloud computing service.

A Dutch vehicle manufacturer has made flying cars commercially available for the first time ever. PAL-V has created the Liberty Sport and Liberty Pioneer, a pair of two-person three-wheelers capable of flying at speeds of up to 112mph. The Sport is the cheaper of the two, with the base model starting at $400,000. The Pioneer, meanwhile, comes in at $600,000.

The phone, originally released in 2000 and in many ways beginning the modern age of mobiles, will be sold as a way of getting lots of battery life in a nearly indestructible body. The new incarnation of the old 3310 will be sold for just €59, and so likely be pitched as a reliable second phone to people who fondly remember it the first time around. It will be revealed at Mobile World Congress later this month, according to leaker Evan Blass who first revealed the details.

Recently, the Urban Institute called for the creation of "neighborhood-level early warning and response systems that can help city leaders and community advocates get ahead of (neighborhood) changes." Open data and open-source analytics allows community stakeholders to mine data for actionable intelligence like never before. The objective of this research is to take a first step in exploring the feasibility of forecasting neighborhood change using longitudinal census data in 29 Legacy Cities (Figure 2). The first section provides some motivation for the analysis. Section 3 provides results and the final section concludes with a discussion of community-oriented neighborhood change forecasting systems. Neighborhoods change because people and capital are mobile and when new neighborhood demand emerges, incumbent residents rightfully worry about displacement.

The challenge posed by the many-body problem in quantum physics originates from the difficulty of describing the nontrivial correlations encoded in the exponential complexity of the many-body wave function. Here we demonstrate that systematic machine learning of the wave function can reduce this complexity to a tractable computational form for some notable cases of physical interest. We introduce a variational representation of quantum states based on artificial neural networks with a variable number of hidden neurons. A reinforcement-learning scheme we demonstrate is capable of both finding the ground state and describing the unitary time evolution of complex interacting quantum systems. Our approach achieves high accuracy in describing prototypical interacting spins models in one and two dimensions.

Getting learners to read textbooks and use other teaching aids effectively can be tricky. Especially, when the books are just too dreary. In this post, we've compiled great e-resources for you digital natives looking to explore the exciting world of Machine Learning and Neural Networks. But before you dive into the deep end, you need to make sure you've got the fundamentals down pat. It doesn't matter what catches your fancy, machine learning, artificial intelligence, or deep learning; you need to know the basics of math and stats--linear algebra, calculus, optimization, probability--to get ahead.
