AI Helps Create The Largest 3D Map Of The Universe
According to the article by Thomas Macaulay, scientists at University of Hawaii's Mānoa Institute for Astronomy (IfA) created the largest 3D map in the world of the universe. The article states, "They trained an algorithm to identify celestial objects in the survey by feeding it spectroscopic measurements that provide definitive object classifications and distances." "Utilizing a state-of-the-art optimization algorithm, we leveraged the spectroscopic training set of almost 4 million light sources to teach the neural network to predict source types and galaxy distances, while at the same time correcting for light extinction by dust in the Milky Way," said lead study author Robert Beck. It is interesting how the technology used to map out the stars is similar to the technology used by Opsani. Opsani also uses a neural network to modify certain settings for your application that can affect performance. We then monitor the performance of the application.
Growth in Machine Learning Leading to Demand for Automated ML - AI Trends
Machine learning has been used successfully in many disciplines that increasingly depend on it. However, the success relies on human machine learning experts to perform many tasks, according to an account on AutoML.org, a website of the community. These tasks include: Preprocessing and cleaning the data; selecting and constructing appropriate features; selecting an appropriate model family; optimizing model hyper parameters; post-processing machine learning models; and critically analyzing the results. The growth of machine learning applications has created a demand for off-the-shelf machine learning methods that can be used more easily and without necessarily expert knowledge. The goal is to progressively automate these manual tasks in what is being called AutoML.

A new 3-D printing technique creates solid objects using rays of light
On the Starship Enterprise, replicators were devices that were used "to dematerialize matter and then reconstitute it in another form," according to Startrek.com. For Captain Picard's hungry crew, in particular, that usually meant nostalgically reconstituting meals on demand to appease a sudden craving. Though we remain a long way away from being able to transmogrify matter into a chocolate sundae on command, a team of real-life researchers has created a 3-D printer that can create entire objects simultaneously instead of creating them one painstaking layer at a time like most printing techniques. The new approach ---- known as Computer Axial Lithography (CAL) ---- carves an object out of a synthetic resin that solidifies when it comes into contact with particular patterns and intensities of light. Using a device dubbed "the replicator," researchers from University of California, Berkeley and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory used the technique to create tiny airplanes and bridges, copies of the human jaw, a screwdriver handle and minuscule copies of Rodin's Thinker.

5 Unexpected Ways AI Can Save the World – Charles Milander
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.

Self-driving cars: The good, bad and unknown
The automobile is one of the most prominent and recognizable symbols of freedom, independence, and responsibility in the world. One major reason that turning sixteen in the United States is so highly anticipated is because it marks the age at which most kids become eligible to legally drive a car. Today's Millennials are no exception to this cultural phenomenon. Bloomberg recently reported that new data from J.D. Power & Associates found that Millennials now account for 27 percent of new car sales, up from 18 percent in 2010. They have surpassed Gen X to become the second-largest group of new car buyers after their boomer parents.
