Wearable AI will help judge the tone of conversations
A single conversation can be interpreted in very different ways. For people with social anxiety or conditions like autism, this can make social situations extremely stressful. But a new device that can detect if a conversation is happy or sad based on speech patterns could make life easier for people who struggle in these situations. The Samsung Simband predicts if a conversation is happy or sad based on a person's speech patterns. Long pauses and monotonous vocal tones were associated with sadder stories.
MIT Made a Wearable That Knows How a Conversation's Going
No matter how debonair you are at your best, conversation can be awkward for anyone. That's especially true for those who struggle to pick up on social cues. To help navigate those rocky exchanges, MIT CSAIL researchers have created a wearable system that can tell whether the person you're talking to is happy or sad. The device takes an existing research-grade wearable--Samsung's Simband smartwatch, which can measure movement, heart rate, blood pressure, blood flow, and skin temperature--and pairs it with audio capture that can pick up signals like tone, pitch, energy, and word choice, and provide a transcript of the text. By weighing all of the incoming signals, algorithms can classify each five-second installment of conversation as either "positive" or "negative."
Nastel Announces AutoPilot Insight 2.0 Fusing Machine Learning, Business Transactions and Mobile Analytics - Nastel Technologies, Inc.
Melville, NY (PRWEB) January 17, 2017 – Nastel Technologies, a global provider of enterprise-grade operations analytics and application performance monitoring (APM) solutions, announced the next-generation version of its flagship software platform, AutoPilot Insight 2.0. According to Charley Rich, VP Product Management "The new release fuses predictive anomaly and machine learning capabilities, business transaction tracking that spans corporate firewalls, raw information handling and analytics speed, and the flexibility to operate across dynamic IT environments--from mobile to mainframe. It provides the broad array of capabilities needed by developers, IT admins, and business analysts for enterprise-grade operations intelligence and APM." Rich said building a solution that fully addresses today's client requirements demanded two years of ground-up product re-engineering. "Customers universally remarked that they needed to find data outliers faster and sense problem conditions before they actually affect users. They also wanted more powerful end-to-end transaction tracking capabilities, with the ability to tie transaction performance to business outcomes."
Understanding How Machines Learn, Through Prototyping – Big Tomorrow
This is the second article in a larger series exploring the intersection of design and existing artificial intelligence technology through experiments, prototypes and concepts. We believe this is a critically important topic for the design community and beyond, so we're sharing what we learn along the way. Let's start by getting something out of the way: we're not machine learning experts -- we don't publish research about new algorithmic breakthroughs and we're not especially good at math. But we're curious about what to do with all the machine learning capability already floating around out in the world, and we're bullish about how far a'good enough' understanding can often take you. So how might non-experts begin to play with machine learning?
