The six astronauts at the International Space Station got an early Easter treat this weekend with the arrival of a supply ship full of fresh food and experiments. Instead of the usual bunny, Saturday's delivery came via a swan -- Orbital ATK's Cygnus capsule, named after the swan constellation. The cargo carrier rocketed away from Cape Canaveral on Tuesday night. NASA astronaut Timothy Kopra used the station's big robot arm to grab the capsule, as the two craft soared 250 miles above the Indian Ocean. Four hours later, the capsule was bolted firmly to the complex.

With AI Scry, you'll never have to wonder how your iPhone would describe the world around you if it was capable of autonomous thinking. Available for iOS, AI Scry is a new app that generates automatic descriptions of whatever appears in front of your phone's camera. Get your company on stage at TNW Europe. Created by Oakland-based art/technology studio Disc Cactus (or as it's stylized), the app aims to showcase the merits and weaknesses of machine learning technologies in a fun and entertaining manner. One of the developers who worked on the project, Sam Kronik, says that to give your phone a mind of its own it uses the open-sourced neural network Neural Talk introduced by Stanford scientist Andrej Karpathy.

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab (APL) have successfully integrated control of their Modular Prosthetic Limb with a commercially available wearable. Using two Myo armbands - muscle-sensing wearables that are already capable of controlling PCs and drones - the wearer is able to perform muscle actions with their upper arm, which are detected by the armbands and wirelessly transmitted to a nearby computer. The computer then determines the movement that is being attempted and sends a signal to the prosthetic arm to complete the task. Using this system, the test subject was able to demonstrate individual finger control, simultaneous finger control, two degrees of freedom at the wrist, multiple grasps and complete simulated activities of daily living. The success of this system is due in large part to the attachment method of the prosthesis, known as osseointegration.

The first teaser trailer for the Netflix animated series "Voltron: Legendary Defender." Lauren Montgomery and Joaquim Dos Santos are the creative team behind Netflix's "Voltron: Legendary Defender." The mechanized lions of Voltron are roaring back to life. The popular 1980s cartoon fantasy franchise with one really cool giant robot is being introduced to a new generation with the Netflix's animated series Voltron: Legendary Defender. Produced by DreamWorks Animation, the first 13 22-minute episodes will drop on June 10.

This solution presents an example of using machine learning with financial time series on Google Cloud Platform. Time series are an essential part of financial analysis. Today, you have more data at your disposal than ever, more sources of data, and more frequent delivery of that data. New sources include new exchanges, social media outlets, and news sources. The frequency of delivery has increased from tens of messages per second 10 years ago, to hundreds of thousands of messages per second today.

Nearby in the lobby, a big-screen TV is flashing the words: Welcome back AlphaGo Team! But that is about as far as one can tell that the London company has just come home triumphant after making history last week by trouncing Go world champion Lee Se Dol with its supercomputer, AlphaGo. "Lee Se Dol is one of the greatest players of all time. IBM's Deep Blue took on world chess champion Garry Kasparov nearly 20 years ago and won, through sheer computational power.

Computer that beat Go champion has many applications, says its maker. A little chalkboard sits on the reception desk of DeepMind's office in London's gentrified King's Cross. On it is scrawled: AlphaGo - 4, Lee Sedol - 1. Nearby in the lobby, a big-screen TV is flashing the words: Welcome back AlphaGo Team! But that is about as far as one can tell that the London company has just come home triumphant after making history last week by trouncing Go world champion Lee Se Dol with its supercomputer, AlphaGo. Perhaps the team already knew they were going to win the best-of- five epic showdown between man and machine in Seoul.

Over the past few years we have witnessed an incredible explosion of interest and application of machine learning. Machine learning has become the predominant computational paradigm, and in short term it has gone from one successful application to another. However, machine learning is far from a unified field, and many different approaches and techniques are vying for primacy and dominance. Which raises an interesting question: is it possible to find a single all-purpose machine learning algorithm that can successfully tackle all protean problems that are currently being attacked from various angles. This search for this "Master Algorithm" in many respects has the flavor of the search for a unified field theory in Physics.

The UK Government has launched an inquiry into the robotics and artificial intelligence segment, to evaluate its rising influence and impact on society. The UK Government has initiated an inquiry into Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI), given its rising influence and daunting advancement in technology. They intend to determine what impact the rise of AI will have at a holistic level on the workforce and the society in general. Further, the corresponding social, legal and ethical aspects also need to be scrutinized. This inquiry will be carried out by the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee.

In a Washington Post article, several potential issues are discussed. The questions of whether a being a person is the same as being human, and whether a robot could ever be considered a person, have no clear answers. Whether a robot can be considered'a natural-born citizen' would also need to be decided.
