Apple leaps into AI research with improved simulated unsupervised learning

Corporate machine learning research may be getting a new vanguard in Apple. Six researchers from the company's recently formed machine learning group published a paper that describes a novel method for simulated unsupervised learning. The aim is to improve the quality of synthetic training images. The work is a sign of the company's aspirations to become a more visible leader in the ever growing field of AI. Google, Facebook, Microsoft and the rest of the techstablishment have been steadily growing their machine learning research groups.
