Lip reading, an essential tool that helps the hearing-impaired to better understand the world, is now conducted by artificial intelligence with a better accuracy than done by humans, University of Oxford reveals. In an article currently published by Quartz we learn that a new paper issued by the University of Oxford with funding from Alphabet's Deepmind, reveals that they have developed an artificial intelligence system called LipNet that can read lips with an accuracy of 93.4%. University of Oxford has previously released a system that operated word-by-word with an accuracy of 79.9%, but their new system has now developed a new and different way of approaching the problem. "Instead of teaching the AI each mouth movement using a system of visual phonemes, they built it to process whole at a time. That allowed the AI to teach itself what letter corresponds to each slight mouth movement", Quartz writes. The new system was exposed to 29 000 3-second-videos videos labelled with the correct text to train the system, and in comparison with human lip-readers that had an average error rate of 47.7%, the AI's error rate was only 6.6%.

Why do Digital marketers need Artificial Intelligence? What does Artificial Intelligence in Digital Marketing look like today? When it comes to humans and machines understanding each other, humans are in luck because they already know how machines talk. Machines however, have a lot of learning to do. This is where semantic analysis comes into play.

We recently published a news strory about an artificial intelligence system that predicted that Donald Trump will win the US presidential elections. We also went ahead to inform you that the A.I christened MoglA had predicted the past three American elections correctly. Well, it looks like MoglA has added another feather to it's cap as Donald Trump has been declared the president elect of the United states of America. To read about Trump's win, click HERE The AI system christened MoglA was developed by an Indian startup founded by Sanjiv Rai. The prediction was a bold one, putting into consideration the fact that most polls before the elections have put Hillary ahead of Trump by a good margin.

Baidu has launched Melody, an AI-powered conversational bot designed to provide relevant information to doctors to assist with recommendations and treatment options. Melody incorporates advanced deep learning and natural language processing (NLP) technologies developed by Baidu. Melody integrates with Baidu Doctor, an app that Baidu launched in China in 2015. Andrew Ng, chief scientist, Baidu, said: "Melody is designed to help both doctors and patients. By focusing on the medical-assistant vertical, we've built a conversational bot that can give highly-customized and situation-appropriate responses to a patient's query."

Florent Perronnin was director at Fair in Paris until July 2016, when he moved to Xerox in Grenoble. He is now deputy manager of the analytics labouratory at Xerox Research Centre Europe. One of the primary areas of focus at Xerox is computer vision. "You need a certain combination of ingredients for a country to be strong in AI," said Perronnin. "You need good research institutions. And France is very strong in two of the competencies required for AI research – mathematics and computer science."

Artificial Intelligence vs. Driverless Cars: Which Tech Trend Has More Opportunity? Self-driving cars are well on their way, and many tech companies are focusing much of their attention on artificial intelligence. Here's how big these two trends could get. IHS Automotive predicts that just 20 years from now, nearly 10% of all new vehicles sold will be fully self-driving. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said last month that all of the company's new cars built from now on will ship with fully autonomous hardware (though the features won't be activated yet).

MUNICH, Nov. 08, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ahead of the opening of the world's largest international trade fair for the electronics industry in Munich, Electronica reveals its trend index 2020, an international survey highlighting how people see their future lives with electronic devices. In the US, 1,000 consumers took part in the survey, which indicates strongly that artificial intelligence should not replace thinking. However 69% of US people were positive about an intelligent automobile which monitors traffic like a driving instructor, and only intervenes when the driver makes a mistake. People feel comfortable with idea of using devices for protection and general security, but they don't want them to be too intrusive or connect up their office and home. Results painted a similar picture for electronic healthcare. More than 80% of the population surveyed want electronic safety technology to make living easier for older people with connected emergency alert systems.

California voters have approved a significant change of the rules in how proposed laws are approved by the Legislature, overwhelmingly supporting a new mandate for public review of legislation before any final vote. Proposition 54, which will impose a three-day waiting period before lawmakers can take action on the final version of bills, appeared headed for an easy victory on election night. As of early Wednesday, it was winning with 64% of the vote. The change in legislative rules was long discussed in the state Capitol but failed to gain momentum until the initiative written by a former GOP legislator and bankrolled by a wealthy Bay Area activist. In addition to the three-day delay for public review of most bills, Proposition 54 will also impose new rules requiring that video of legislative hearings and debates be posted online.
