Ever have a hard time understanding a road sign in another country? Computer vision startup Mapillary thinks it has a solution. You know how Google hopes to "organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful?" Swedish startup Mapillary wants to do the same thing with the world's road signs. As it turns out, from warnings about polar bears to alerts concerning "invisible cows," there are some pretty darn unusual roadside messages you'll come across as you travel the globe.

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.

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 (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.

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.

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.

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 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.

You see it all the time in movies and TV shows: A security camera records footage of an intruder, but the image is too blurry or pixelated to make out who it is. Some nerdy-looking "hacker" then clacks at his keyboard and -- boom -- seconds later, pixelated image turns into a crisp one revealing the person's face in glorious detail. "Oh, come on!" we all say while rolling our eyes. Well, you might have to break that habit because Google has figured out a way to turn movie magic into reality (sort of). SEE ALSO: Google's biggest Android problem is also ruining emoji According to ArsTechnica, researchers at Google's deep learning research project, Google Brain, have created software that attempts to "sharpen" images made up of 8 x 8 pixels.
