Uber's self-driving cars start picking up passengers in San Francisco

#artificialintelligence

Uber's self-driving cars are making the move to San Francisco, in a new expansion of its pilot project with autonomous vehicles that will see Volvo SUVs outfitted with sensors and supercomputers begin picking up passengers in the city. The autonomous cars won't operate completely driverless, for the time being โ€“ as in Pittsburgh, where Uber launched self-driving Ford Focus vehicles this fall, each SUV will have a safety driver and Uber test engineer onboard to handle manual driving when needed and monitor progress with the tests. But the cars will still be picking up ordinary passengers โ€“ any customers who request uberX using the standard consumer-facing mobile app are eligible for a ride in one of the new XC90s operated by Uber's Advanced Technologies Group (ATG). There's a difference here beyond the geography; this is the third generation of Uber's autonomous vehicle, which is distinct from the second-generation Fords that were used in the Pittsburgh pilot. Uber has a more direct relationship with Volvo in turning its new XC90s into cars with autonomous capabilities; the Fords were essentially purchased stock off the line, while Uber's partnership with Volvo means it can do more in terms of integrating its own sensor array into the ones available on board the vehicle already.


Omnity search engine finds documents relevant to yours โ€“ regardless of language

#artificialintelligence

With the amount of published research, patents, white papers, and other written knowledge out there, it's hard to be even reasonably sure you're aware of the goings-on around a certain topic or field. Omnity is a search engine made to make it easier by extracting the gist of documents you give it and finding related ones from a library of millions -- and now supports over a hundred languages. The process is simple and free, at least for the public-facing databases Omnity has assembled, comprising U.S. patents, SEC filings, PubMed papers, clinical trials, Library of Congress collections, and more. You upload a document or text snippet, and the system scans it, looking for the least common words and phrases -- which generally indicate things like topic, experiment type, equipment used, that sort of thing. It then looks through its own libraries to find documents with similar or related phrases that appear in a manner that suggests relevance. For example, say you put in the results of your clinical trial testing a food additive on a certain strain of mice, and found it resulted in a certain condition.


80% Of Marketing Leaders Say Artificial Intelligence Will Revolutionize Marketing By 2020

#artificialintelligence

Over 3/4 of Marketing Leaders believe the future belongs to Artificial Intelligence. In October 2015, in my post entitled "The Future Of Sales Is AI: Are Your Sales Teams Prepared?" I shared a bold prediction from LeadGenius cofounder Anand Kulkarni: "In just 10 years most salespeoples' jobs will be replaced by artificial intelligence." As I wrote then and as I believe today, sales is not going away. Salespeople are not going away.

Scientists at LANL used high performance computing to investigate how an asteroid's kinetic energy is transferred to the atmosphere and the ocean. An impact would have devastating effects if it occurred within 10-20 kilometers of a city's coastline, but if it hit out in the middle of the ocean, the massive waves generated by the collision would quickly die down.

They can appear sad, happy (like Rihanna's avatar), interested or even angry - however, there is only a small set of emotions available at the moment. Users just have to upload a font facing image, such as this image of Elon Musk (left) of themselves or someone else to the Loom.ai
