Cleveland's beloved ancient sea monster was more turtle than shark

Popular Science

Science Biology Evolution Cleveland's beloved ancient sea monster was more turtle than shark Paleontologists revised the anatomy of Dunkleosteus terrelli-and it's still terrifying. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. About 360 million years ago, present-day Cleveland was home to a fearsome predator . But this giant did not stalk prey on land. Covered in armor plates and featuring scalpel-sharp, bone blades for teeth, was an undisputed, ancient apex predator.


Learning the Market: Sentiment-Based Ensemble Trading Agents

Ye, Andrew, Xu, James, Wang, Yi, Yu, Yifan, Yan, Daniel, Chen, Ryan, Dong, Bosheng, Chaudhary, Vipin, Xu, Shuai

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

We propose the integration of sentiment analysis and deep-reinforcement learning ensemble algorithms for stock trading, and design a strategy capable of dynamically altering its employed agent given concurrent market sentiment. In particular, we create a simple-yet-effective method for extracting news sentiment and combine this with general improvements upon existing works, resulting in automated trading agents that effectively consider both qualitative market factors and quantitative stock data. We show that our approach results in a strategy that is profitable, robust, and risk-minimal -- outperforming the traditional ensemble strategy as well as single agent algorithms and market metrics. Our findings determine that the conventional practice of switching ensemble agents every fixed-number of months is sub-optimal, and that a dynamic sentiment-based framework greatly unlocks additional performance within these agents. Furthermore, as we have designed our algorithm with simplicity and efficiency in mind, we hypothesize that the transition of our method from historical evaluation towards real-time trading with live data should be relatively simple.


Discourse over Discourse: The Need for an Expanded Pragmatic Focus in Conversational AI

Seals, S. M., Shalin, Valerie L.

The summarization of conversation, a case of discourse conversational summarization and conversational over a discourse, clearly illustrates a series AI more broadly. We illustrate the remaining challenges of pragmatic limitations in contemporary conversational in this area with ill-conceived examples inspired AI applications. While there has been some by conversational AI systems (Gratch et al., previous work examining pragmatic issues in conversational 2014), conversation summarization models, (Gaur AI (i.e., (Bao et al., 2022; Kim et al., et al., 2021) and author interactions with chatbots 2020, 2021a; Nath, 2020; Wu and Ong, 2021)), and voice assistants. Like Chomsky's star sentences, additional progress depends on understanding the these examples have clear pragmatic deficiencies source of limitations in current applications. We that trigger the Turing Test criterion. No aim to contribute to both theory and applications by competent speaker would construct such discourse.

Studies show that Studies that cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are malignant for human health. Thus, it is important to have an efficient way of CVD prognosis. In response to this, the healthcare industry has adopted machine learning-based smart solutions to alleviate the manual process of CVD prognosis. Thus, this work proposes an information fusion technique that combines key attributes of a person through analysis of variance (ANOVA) and domain experts' knowledge. It also introduces a new collection of CVD data samples for emerging research. There are thirty-eight experiments conducted exhaustively to verify the performance of the proposed framework on four publicly available benchmark datasets and the newly created dataset in this work. The ablation study shows that the proposed approach can achieve a competitive mean average accuracy (mAA) of 99.2% and a mean average AUC of 97.9%.


Defining The Brand

#artificialintelligence

For construction companies, the usage of data science techniques provides a huge opportunity to stand out from the competition and reinvent their business. There is a vast amount of continuously changing construction data which creates a necessity for engaging machine learning and artificial intelligent tools into different aspects of the business. Architecture is still a key place for technology and innovation to shake things up, especially with the increase of urbanization and the influx of more concentrated human populations around metropolitan areas. Realizing the difficulties within the domain of residential construction, Octett decided to deploy this initiative with the intention to solve simple problems that hold complex issues if not managed appropriately. These major inconsistencies within the sectors, left most construction specialists with little to no solutions.


FIRST LOOK: Cleveland's Launcher XL irons get the Artificial Intelligence treatment

#artificialintelligence

Don't be deceived by the sleek look: Cleveland Golf's Launcher XL irons are designed for the game-improvement golfer who needs an abundance of forgiveness and technology. The hollow cavity construction features a new variable-thickness Mainframe face that was created using Artificial Intelligence. In recent years, AI has played a larger role in the club design process as manufacturers have continued to push the boundaries, particularly when it comes to face construction. With AI taking the lead on face design, Cleveland's engineering team focused on improving the common high-toe mishit for mid-to-high handicap golfers. Compared to the previous generation, Launcher XL offers a 15 percent increase in MOI (a measure of forgiveness) on high-toe strikes in an effort to tighten the distance loss delta.

An 18-year-old Ohio man was being praised for saving a mother and her 10-year-old son at a North Carolina beach over the Fourth of July weekend – in a rescue that was caught on video. Travis Shrout of Stow, near Cleveland, said he had swum out pretty far at Topsail Beach where his family was vacationing on July 3 when he noticed the woman and her son struggling in the water, FOX 8 of Cleveland reported. Shrout's family had gotten out of the water but family friend Thad Unkefer wanted to test his drone's tracking features, so Shrout decided to get back in, he told the station.


Artificial intelligence is helping the Cleveland Clinic improve the odds an epilepsy patient can live seizure-free: Brain Tech in Cleveland

#artificialintelligence

Locating the source of an epileptic seizure can be tricky. Even the most advanced MRI can't pinpoint lesions, scars or other abnormalities on the brain in one-quarter of epilepsy patients. Cleveland Clinic experts are turning to artificial intelligence to help bridge the gap. Neurologists and brain surgeons from the Clinic's Epilepsy Center are using AI and advanced medical imaging techniques to help locate the source of a patient's seizures. That gives surgeons a better chance of removing any brain tissue that's associated with those seizures, which could help the patient live seizure-free for years. The use of AI has already helped the Clinic improve the odds a surgery will result in a patient living without seizures, said Dr. Imad Najm, the director of the Epilepsy Center at the Cleveland Clinic Neurological Institute.


Accelerating Distributed SGD for Linear Regression using Iterative Pre-Conditioning

Chakrabarti, Kushal, Gupta, Nirupam, Chopra, Nikhil

arXiv.org Machine Learning

This paper considers the multi-agent distributed linear least-squares problem. The system comprises multiple agents, each agent with a locally observed set of data points, and a common server with whom the agents can interact. The agents' goal is to compute a linear model that best fits the collective data points observed by all the agents. In the server-based distributed settings, the server cannot access the data points held by the agents. The recently proposed Iteratively Pre-conditioned Gradient-descent (IPG) method has been shown to converge faster than other existing distributed algorithms that solve this problem. In the IPG algorithm, the server and the agents perform numerous iterative computations. Each of these iterations relies on the entire batch of data points observed by the agents for updating the current estimate of the solution. Here, we extend the idea of iterative pre-conditioning to the stochastic settings, where the server updates the estimate and the iterative pre-conditioning matrix based on a single randomly selected data point at every iteration. We show that our proposed Iteratively Pre-conditioned Stochastic Gradient-descent (IPSG) method converges linearly in expectation to a proximity of the solution. Importantly, we empirically show that the proposed IPSG method's convergence rate compares favorably to prominent stochastic algorithms for solving the linear least-squares problem in server-based networks.
