It's common knowledge that neural networks are really good at one narrow task, but they fail at handling multiple tasks. This is unlike the human brain which is able to use the same concepts at amazingly diverse tasks. For example, if you have never seen a fractal before and I show you one right now. After seeing the image of a fractal, you'll be able to handle multiple tasks related to it: How are you able to do all these tasks? Are there dedicated neural networks in your brain specializing in all these tasks?

When a syringe-wielding drill thief tried sticking up a Home Depot near Yankee Stadium, police figured out quickly that it wasn't a one-off. A man had also used a syringe a few weeks earlier while stealing a drill at another Home Depot 7 miles (11 kilometers) south in Manhattan. The match, though, wasn't made by an officer looking through files. It was done by pattern-recognition computer software developed by the New York Police Department. The software, dubbed Patternizr, allows crime analysts stationed in each of the department's 77 precincts to compare robberies, larcenies and thefts to hundreds of thousands of crimes logged in the NYPD's database, transforming their hunt for crime patterns with the click of a button.

The New York City Police Department is using a new software system called Patternizr, which helps officers search through "hundreds of thousands" of case files, according to a report in The Washington Post. The report says that the software was developed in house, and allows analysts to search across a wide range of files to look for patterns or similar crimes. Previously, they would have had to have gone through physical files. In one example, officers used the system to connect two crimes -- a man who used a syringe to steal a drill in two different Home Depots in New York City. Rebecca Shutt, the crime analyst who solved the case explained to the Post that the system "brought back complaints from other precincts that I wouldn't have known."

NEW YORK - When a syringe-wielding drill thief tried sticking up a Home Depot near Yankee Stadium, police figured out quickly that it wasn't a one-off.

The department disclosed its use of the technology only this month, with Levine and Cholas-Wood detailing their work in the INFORMS Journal on Applied Analytics in an article alerting other departments how they could create similar software. Speaking about it with the news media for the first time, they told The Associated Press recently that theirs is the first police department in the country to use a pattern-recognition tool like this.

It can be as simple as scanning a barcode, or as complex as PiP. Yep… one of the most advanced pet identification systems out there... PiP is a smartphone app created for pet owners who've lost their cat, dog, fish. Should you misplace your pet, its photo will be analyzed and matched with photos of pets that have been found wandering the streets. Image analysis is used to beat lost tags, outdated microchips, and fading tattoos. Teaching a computer to see, is no walk in the park.

I technology can be used by the government to learn from historical data, analyze new inputs to perform human tasks, such as pattern recognition from data, image and video analytics which human analytics can miss due to large scale and complexity of data with exponential speed. Machine learning and deep learning can find insights hidden in data without necessarily being programmed where to look or what to find which results in better, faster and more accurate decision-making capabilities. NLP is used to improve understanding and interaction between humans and machines, automatically extracting new emerging trends from large amounts of structured and unstructured data which can result in the discovery of various drawbacks and solutions. Computer vision analyzes and interprets what's in an image or video through image processing, image recognition and object detection which helps significantly for proper surveillance of cities. AI with tools like machine learning and big data analytics can help improve lifestyle of citizens by optimizing traffic conditions, reducing pollution, energy saving and energy generation, safety and privacy, improving public health, enhancing agricultural outcomes, smart transportation, infrastructure optimization, smart homes, instant emergency solutions, natural resources management and accurate weather are among the many factors government can use AI for enhancing life quality of citizens. AI can be used to do financial analysis from multiple transaction mediums for taxation purposes.

Summary: In the literal blink of an eye, image-based AI has gone from high cost, high risk projects to quick and reasonably reliable. C-level execs looking for AI techniques to exploit need to revisit their assumptions and move these up the list. For data scientists these are miraculous times. We tend to think of miracles as something that occurs instantaneously but in our world that's not quite so. Still the rate of change in deep learning, particularly in image recognition is mind boggling and way up there on the miraculous scale.
