Talos,: was it a Greek myth equivalent of robotics or AI? The history of AI begins with a myth and just as with many modern AI systems, it concerned defence. According to Greek mythology, Talos was a giant automaton made of bronze, created by the god Hephaestus, for the purpose of guarding the island of Crete by throwing stones at passing ships. Just as many experts in AI today accuse companies of claiming to have AI when in fact they don't, the second well known example of AI was a lie. The Turk was supposed to be a mechanical device for playing chess, created by Wolfgang von Kempelen, trying to impress Empress Maria Theresa of Austria in 1769.

Simpliv, the learning platform, is organizing the AI Summit India on 18th November at Taj, Vivanta, Bangalore. This two-day summit will be an ideal opportunity to explore critical areas of AI such as digital transformation, AI and deep learning, AI and cybercrime, AI as a tool for enforcing accountability, the various industries that could get impacted by AI, enterprise and process automation using AI, AI and costumer experience, AI's role in messaging in the advertising, marketing and healthcare and other sectors, AI for the Cognitive Enterprise, and much more.

Much of the progress we've seen in artificial intelligence in the past five years is due to deep learning. Advances in software algorithm models, processing power and dramatically lower costs have put deep learning within reach of more companies, opening the door for broader innovation in products and services, and also supporting the execution of complex business processes. However, the terms artificial intelligence, deep learning and machine learning are often used interchangeably. That can be confusing if you are not aware of the distinction, so this blog clarifies what these terms are. Let's take the example of a security product that is being built to identify threats in Figure 2 below.

The original scan (left) and the areas where information was extracted (in red and green, right) using the technology developed at the Technion. Researchers at Technion-Israel Institute of Technology have developed a deep learning-based method for mapping critical receptors on cancer cells, which is expected to significantly improve personalized cancer treatment, the Office of the Technion Spokesperson reported on Wednesday. According to the report, the new technology extracts molecular information from images of breast cancer biopsies that underwent hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. The staining, made by a common dye used to test biopsy tissue, allows the pathologist to identify the type of cancer and its severity but does not allow the identification of biological characteristics that are crucial for personalized treatment.

Results From a total of 274 413 fundus images initially obtained from CGSA, 269 601 images passed initial image quality review and were graded for GON. A total of 241 032 images (definite GON 29 865 [12.4%], probable GON 11 046 [4.6%], unlikely GON 200 121 [83%]) from 68 013 patients were selected using random sampling to train the GD-CNN model. Validation and evaluation of the GD-CNN model was assessed using the remaining 28 569 images from CGSA. The AUC of the GD-CNN model in primary local validation datasets was 0.996 (95% CI, 0.995-0.998), The most common reason for both false-negative and false-positive grading by GD-CNN (51 of 119 [46.3%] and 191 of 588 [32.3%]) and manual grading (50 of 113 [44.2%] and 183 of 538 [34.0%]) was pathologic or high myopia.

In this episode of the Data Show, I speak with Michael Mahoney, a member of RISELab, the International Computer Science Institute, and the Department of Statistics at UC Berkeley. A physicist by training, Mahoney has been at the forefront of many important problems in large-scale data analysis.

This example shows how to train a generative adversarial network (GAN) to generate images. A generative adversarial network (GAN) is a type of deep learning network that can generate data with similar characteristics as the input training data. The generator - Given a vector or random values as input, this network generates data with the same structure as the training data. The discriminator - Given batches of data containing observations from both the training data, and generated data from the generator, this network attempts to classify the observations as "real" or "generated". Train the generator to generate data that "fools" the discriminator.

Researchers have developed a neural network approach that can accurately identify congestive heart failure with 100 percent accuracy through analysis of just one raw electrocardiogram (ECG) heartbeat, a new study reports. Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a chronic progressive condition that affects the pumping power of the heart muscles. Associated with high prevalence, significant mortality rates and sustained healthcare costs, clinical practitioners and health systems urgently require efficient detection processes. Dr. Sebastiano Massaro, associate professor of organizational neuroscience at the University of Surrey, has worked with colleagues Mihaela Porumb and Dr. Leandro Pecchia at the University of Warwick and Ernesto Iadanza at the University of Florence, to tackle these important concerns by using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) – hierarchical neural networks highly effective in recognizing patterns and structures in data. Published in the Biomedical Signal Processing and Control Journal, their research drastically improves existing CHF detection methods typically focused on heart rate variability that, whilst effective, are time-consuming and prone to errors.

With the help of Artificial Intelligence(AI), researchers have developed a neural network approach that can accurately identify congestive heart failure with 100 per cent accuracy through analysis of just one raw electrocardiogram (ECG) heartbeat. Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a chronic progressive condition that affects the pumping power of the heart muscles. Associated with high prevalence, significant mortality rates and sustained healthcare costs, clinical practitioners and health systems urgently require efficient detection processes. The researchers have worked to tackle these important concerns by using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) – hierarchical neural networks highly effective in recognising patterns and structures in data. "We trained and tested the CNN model on large publicly available ECG datasets featuring subjects with CHF as well as healthy, non-arrhythmic hearts. Our model delivered 100 per cent accuracy: by checking just one heartbeat we are able detect whether or not a person has heart failure," said study researcher Sebastiano Massaro, Associate Professor at the University of Surrey in the UK.
