Google reveals photo enhancement tool to sharpen up snaps

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Google Brain's latest software can create sharpen images from a pixelated source. The system combines two neural networks and machine learning to guess what details lay hidden in the blurry picture. Once the system is fed an 8 x 8 pixelated image, the networks search for high-resolution images that it believes matches the source's content - and adds the missing details.

How to Make Manual Predictions for ARIMA Models with Python

#artificialintelligence

The autoregression integrated moving average model or ARIMA model can seem intimidating to beginners. A good way to pull back the curtain in the method is to to use a trained model to make predictions manually. This demonstrates that ARIMA is a linear regression model at its core. Making manual predictions with a fit ARIMA models may also be a requirement in your project, meaning that you can save the coefficients from the fit model and use them as configuration in your own code to make predictions without the need for heavy Python libraries in a production environment. In this tutorial, you will discover how to make manual predictions with a trained ARIMA model in Python.


Artificial Intelligence Movies: Top 10 AI Movies - Datamation

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) has long been a staple of science fiction, but in recent years, technology has improved to the point where real-world AI systems have become usable. In fact, Markets and Markets predicts that that the worldwide market for AI systems could be worth $16.06 billion by 2022. Interestingly, as AI becomes a bigger part of daily life, it also seems to be playing a bigger role in the entertainment industry. Already this decade, filmmakers have put out at least 30 feature films featuring an A.I. character in a key role. By comparison, our research turned up just 19 notable AI movies from the 2000s, 14 from the 1990s and 10 from the 1980s.


A Brief History of Deep Learning - DATAVERSITY

#artificialintelligence

Deep Learning, as a branch of Machine Learning, employs algorithms to process data and imitate the thinking process, or to develop abstractions. Deep Learning (DL) uses layers of algorithms to process data, understand human speech, and visually recognize objects. Information is passed through each layer, with the output of the previous layer providing input for the next layer. The first layer in a network is called the input layer, while the last is called an output layer. All the layers between the two are referred to as hidden layers.

Concept-i Car Makes Artificial Intelligence More Human

#artificialintelligence

One of the more far out automotive ideas shown at CES 2017 was Toyota's Concept-i. It is a car that strives to become a kind of digital life form. Designed by Toyota's CALTY Design Research in Newport Beach, California along with UX created by the Toyota Innovation Hub in San Francisco, the Concept-i car explores the potential of automotive AI. The exterior design doesn't subscribe to traditional category cues of performance or luxury cars. The shapes are futuristic in a funky kind of way.


Element AI's Yoshua Bengio says Canada is at the forefront of the AI revolution

#artificialintelligence

As Canada continues to emerge as a leader in the artificial intelligence space, it's worth assessing how new AI technologies will change people's lives. Last week on The Disruptors, co-host Bruce Croxon spoke with Yoshua Bengio, who is a pioneer in the machine learning space. Bengio is one of the founders of Element AI, an organization dedicated to helping companies develop an AI-first strategy. "Ten years ago, we were doing very basic research." Bengio discussed how Canada became an AI giant, and how AI technology might impact people's lives going forward.


Rethink's Robots Get Massive Software Upgrade, Rodney Brooks "So Excited"

IEEE Spectrum Robotics

Rethink Robotics is taking the wraps off a massive project that the company has been working on for two years. "It's been a big part of our development that the world hasn't seen," says Rethink founder and CTO Rodney Brooks. "I've been so excited about this because I know what it can do." A little over a year ago, Rethink started shipping Sawyer, a collaborative robot designed to be faster, stronger, and more precise than the company's first cobot, Baxter, which didn't "sell like hotcakes," as Brooks had expected. But developing a brand-new robot was just part of Rethink's post-Baxter plans: Another goal was completely rebuilding its software platform, called Intera, which is responsible for controlling all of Sawyer's functions as well as allowing users to program the robot.


Google Brain Cleans Up Low-Res Photos by Turning Everyone Into a Glitched Out Monster

#artificialintelligence

The team at Google Brain has made an impressive breakthrough for increasing the resolution of images. They've managed to turn 8x8 grids of pixels into monstrous approximations of human beings. Neural networks are our best chance at being able to truly increase the level of detail in a low-resolution image. We're stuck with the pixel information that a photo contains but deep learning can add detail through what are commonly referred to as "hallucinations." This essentially means a piece of software making guesses about an image based on the information it's learned from other images.


Understand Logistic Regression the easy way: Part 1

#artificialintelligence

Logistic Regression is one of the world's most popular model used to solve classification problems in machine learning. This model will arm you with super powers to solve problems like classifying "spam" or "non-spam" emails, detect malignant tumours, blood pressure and so many more! I have always believed, before learning anything new, you should have a purpose to learn it. I hope you are motivated enough to learn it now! Let us begin with binary classification problem, which means'y' our output can have only two values '0 or 1'.
