The Smartphone with A.I. camera: LG V30 - iGreenik

#artificialintelligence

When we think about mobile phone cameras and high-quality photos, the name iPhone, Motorola and Vivo come into our minds. LG has been ignored for a while now when it comes to mobile phones, but it seems that now LG is ready to blow all it's competitors away. The technology has been named " Vision AI" and the V30 comes with premium camera features like dual lenses, wide-angle low-distortion lenses and the all-glass Crystal Clear Lens. While taking a picture, the AI automatically analyses objects and recommends user the best shooting mode like portrait, food, landscape etc. The LG image recognition technology used in it will analyze over 100 million images to develop the image recognition algorithm.


5 Unexpected Ways AI Can Save the World – Charles Milander

#artificialintelligence

Many naysayers claim that artificial intelligence could destroy the world, often using the storyline in The Terminator to prove their point. In reality, AI can do more to save the world. Fortunately, it seems as though more people are beginning to understand the benefits of AI rather than fearing it. For example, Strategy Analytics found that 41 percent of consumers surveyed believed that AI would "enrich" their lives. Many jobs, despite a focus on health and safety, still involve a considerable amount of risk.


Preparing for Urban 4.0

@machinelearnbot

Conventional models, while still solid, are no longer up to the heightened challenges of the present. Exponentially improving technologies for the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence are enabling urban developments with much higher levels of efficiency and flexibility to conserve resources, promote security, and boost the quality of life. The key development is not the technologies themselves, but their integration around a holistic view of urbanization that enables a series of smart services. Instead of focusing on single services, or specific buildings or highways, leading organizations around the world are using IoT and analytics to optimize infrastructure generally and evolve with changing needs. While getting there will take a great deal of investment and expertise, the result will be places where residents thrive in unexpected ways in their personalized urban developments.


10 Big Data experts to follow on Twitter

@machinelearnbot

Making sense of Big Data can be as difficult as choosing the right hashtags, but some experts have figured out how to do both. Humans and technologies generate 2.5 quintillion bytes of data a day, but these troves of information are only as good as the tools companies use to understand it all. Big Data is expected to significantly mature in 2018 and, coupled with advancements in cloud, artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies, is pushing the boundaries of possibility and understanding. Brown puts decades of expertise to use tackling business technology trends from a Big Data standpoint. He offers followers daily resources with Big Data insight on tech topics from cloud and AI to hardware and mobility.


Quantum computer could have predicted Trump's surprise election

New Scientist

Predicting the outcome of a general election is a challenge. But combining quantum computing with neural network technology could improve forecasts, according to a new study that used just such a network to model the 2016 US presidential elections. "Using this application is a way of demonstrating the potential of these new sorts of algorithms, and the kind of problems that quantum computing might be able to assist with in the future," says Michael Brett, CEO of data analytics company QX Branch, which conducted the study.


Government OKs hiking optional pension age to 71

The Japan Times

The government on Friday approved an outline for raising the optional age for tapping public pensions to 71 or older to address the national labor shortage stemming from Japan's falling birthrate and rapidly graying population. The ministry will consider revising the related laws in fiscal 2020 to encourage people in their 60s or older to continue working. The ministry's outline notes that older adults are physically healthier than previous generations and are highly motivated to continue working or participate in community activities. In addition, the outline says the government will review the "standardization of life stages according to age categories." "Depopulation in rural areas is expected as the pace of aging picks up. It is important to realize a society where people of all generations can widely and actively participate," Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said during a meeting on the issue Friday.

Companies like Affectiva have explored artificial emotional intelligence, or the science of getting computers to understand facial expressions and social cues from humans, so that machines can better suit our needs.


This Week in AI, February 15th, 2018 – Udacity Inc – Medium

#artificialintelligence

Alex Irpan, a software engineer at Google, wrote an excellent article on the current difficulties of getting deep reinforcement learning to work. For example, even after weeks of optimizing hyperparameters and explotation-exploration rates, these models are still highly sensitive to initial conditions. A 30% failure rate is seen as "working." Irpan makes the argument that most attempts with deep RL fail but no one talks about it publicly, we only see the few cases where the problems are simplified enough to be feasible. This is still a new field - the breakthrough Atari DQN paper was published only 3 years ago - so there is plenty of room for more research and advancement.
