Machine Learning is all about Common Sense.
Machines are invented to solve problems and make life easier. It is widely accepted that common sense is a sense which is not so common:) So, don't you think this problem should also be addressed? Or someone would say that can a machine ever solve this problem? What is a common sense? According to Wikipedia "Common sense is a basic ability to perceive, understand, and judge things, which is shared by ("common to") nearly all people and can reasonably be expected of nearly all people without any need for debate" Simple, easy to understand and widely accepted facts (common sense) are the building blocks of every complex structure.
Amazon organized a secret robot, AI and space conference
The conference's details remain a secret -- Amazon hasn't even confirmed it yet. But Bloomberg says the guests attended seminars, including one that talked about giving robots human values. Amazon focused on these particular fields, most likely because they're all relevant to its interests. It has robots working in its warehouses, and it even held a robotics challenge last year to develop machines that can find items and fulfill orders. Its Amazon Echo speakers come with Alexa, its voice assistant that can read ebooks aloud, control the lights and give you election updates.
Ward's Method for clustering in SAS
It looks at cluster analysis as an analysis of variance problem. This method involves an agglomerative clustering algorithm. It starts out with n clusters of size 1 and continues until all the observations are included into one cluster. This method is most appropriate for quantitative variables, and not binary variables. Then you can set some threshold for the outlier clusters, like the size of that cluster is smaller then n*0.1%.
'Fearless' twins reveal how our bodies affect our emotions
Is fear all in the mind? Experiments on twins who can't feel fear are suggesting that some emotions are experienced only after we become aware of changes to our body. Many studies have shown that the amygdalae โ two almond-shaped regions near the centre of the brain โ are crucial for feeling fear. People who have lost their amygdalae through brain injury or disease also lose the ability to feel fear. In 2013, Justin Feinstein at the University of Iowa in Iowa City and his colleagues managed to scare three "fearless" people โ two female identical twins and a woman known as S.M., none of whom have amygdalae โ by getting them to inhale carbon dioxide, making them choke.
Using TensorFlow, which CUDA toolkit and cuDNN versions to use? โข /r/MachineLearning
I've been trying to install TensorFlow on my machine (Ubuntu 14.04 w/ GTX 970), but I've been having some issues with installing the GPU-enabled version. I initially installed CUDA 7.5 and cuDNN 7.0 but received an error, I believe it was an ImportError involving libcudart.so.7.5. I also installed via pip, could this potentially be an issue? After some reading, it seems that TF used to not have support for CUDA 7.5 and cuDNN 7.0, however all the stuff I have found is from back in November so no idea if this is still true.
Google Working On Gesture-Based Keyboard For iPhone With GIF, Image And Search Functions: Report
Google may be looking to ensure its control of the world's search market by building a gesture-based smartphone and tablet keyboard designed to work with Apple's iPhone and iPad, which has integrated search functionality, according to sources speaking to the Verge. According to the report, Google employees have been testing the new keyboard for several months already though the search giant has yet to decide when or if it will release the keyboard to Apple's App Store. With the introduction of iOS 8 in 2014, Apple finally opened up its software to allow users install third-party keyboards to replace the stock iOS version. Google's keyboard, like the stock Android keyboard, allows for gesture typing, a feature that allows users to swipe their finger from one letter to the next allowing Google to then guess what word you want based on the shape of the gesture you have made. As well as this gesture feature, Google is said to be integrating GIFs and images directly into the keyboard which would be powered by Google's own image search.
Has the evolution of the phone come to an end? Experts fear innovation is being held back due to limits about size and battery life
Nearly a decade after the iPhone broke the mould, is the evolution of the smartphone finally come to an end? Industry experts believe innovation is giving way to phone functions popping up as software or services in devices from cars to fridges and to watches and jewellery. Even Apple now treats older, smaller 4-inch screens as something new. And analysts and product designers said fresh breakthroughs are running up against the practical limits of what's possible in current hardware in terms of screen size and battery life. Industry experts believe innovation is giving way to phone functions popping up as software or services in devices from cars to fridges and to watches and jewellery.

What Alpha Go means for the rest of us?
AlphaGo, from Google's DeepMind, made history today with its historic 4โ1 defeat of Go world champion, Lee Sedol. Prior to the five-game match, many Go experts, including Mr. Lee himself predicted that the machine would be defeated 5โ0 or, if it did well, 4โ1. The result was quite the opposite with Mr. Lee managing just one win. This is both a shock for Go players, and represents an achievement in AI that many had not expected for at least another decade. Games, and in particular abstract strategy games like Go, chess and draughts have been a staple of AI research since its inception.
