On the Non-Existence of a Universal Learning Algorithm for Recurrent Neural Networks
We prove that the so called "loading problem" for (recurrent) neural net(cid:173) works is unsolvable. This extends several results which already demon(cid:173) strated that training and related design problems for neural networks are (at least) NP-complete. Our result also implies that it is impossible to find or to formulate a universal training algorithm, which for any neu(cid:173) ral network architecture could determine a correct set of weights. For the simple proof of this, we will just show that the loading problem is equivalent to "Hilbert's tenth problem" which is known to be unsolvable. It seems that there are relatively few commonly accepted general formal definitions of the notion of a "neural network".
Ashley Judd says grief-associated clumsiness led to her fracturing her leg after death of mother
Fox News Flash top entertainment and celebrity headlines are here. If you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide, please contact the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 or 1-800-273-TALK (8255). Ashley Judd on Wednesday reportedly said grief-associated clumsiness led to her fracturing her leg earlier this year after the death of her mother. The "Double Jeopardy" actress, 54, said during a conversation series in association with UCLA's Friends of the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior that the "freak accident" fractured her femoral condyle near the knee last summer just months after her mom Naomi Judd, 76, died by suicide, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Judd has said she was the one who found her mother on April 30 at the country music star's Tennessee home.

Computers on wheels – don't be intimidated - Cape Business News
The advent of Artificial Intelligence into the world we live in is furiously gaining momentum, where products like Google Duplex, Amazon Alexa, and others are finding residence in more and more mobility applications. Everyday cars are becoming more and more technologically advanced. But, says Hedley Judd, National Director of the Tyre, Equipment, Parts Association (TEPA), an association of the Retail Motor Industry Organisation (RMI), this should not be intimidating but rather exciting news for motorists. The motor vehicle has an Engine Control Unit (ECU), Body Control Module (BCM), screens of different types, and of course the communication system to the outside world, either via a WIFI-linked hotspot or a Bluetooth link to the cell network. "The ECU and the BCM are both effectively computers with processors and memory that are programmed to function according to set rules depending on the external input from the engine or the vehicle via the driver. The screens referred to are the infotainment screen and nowadays in many vehicles the instrument cluster has become a computer-like screen as well. Finally, the communication language would be understandable to the drivers of today's vehicles."

Law enforcement agencies turning to drones to fight crime
TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) - No longer a novelty, drones are becoming an everyday tool for more police and fire departments, new research has found. The number of public safety agencies with drones has more than doubled since the end of 2016, according to data collected by the Center for the Study of the Drone at New York's Bard College. The center estimated that just over 900 police, sheriff, fire and emergency agencies now have drones, with Texas, California, and Wisconsin leading the way, the study showed. While many law enforcement drone units are just getting started and are in place in just a fraction of the public safety agencies around the country, police and fire departments are continuing to find new uses for the remote-controlled aircraft. They're being deployed to take photos of car accidents, guide firefighters through burning buildings and search for missing people and murder suspects.

Tech Knocks on the Bathroom Door
At first blush, the bathroom is the most boring possible spot smart-home technology could be applied, except maybe a closet. But consider a mirror that turns on motion-activated lights when you get up in the middle of the night, or tells you the weather in the morning. Consider setting the shower on to the perfect temperature just by asking, before you climb in. There are even "intelligent" toilets in the works though how intelligent they'll be remains to be seen. At an opening press event for CES Sunday, Kohler debuted a voice-enabled lighted mirror with dual-microphones and Amazon.com

Drug cartels using drones to smuggle drugs at border
AUGUST 2008: Border agents recovered this 2-foot-high drone that was seen swooping over the border fence in southern California. Drug cartels are using unmanned drones to carry drugs across the southern border, challenging the U.S. technological ability to stop the advance. Brandon Judd, an agent and president of the National Border Patrol Council, warned that the border patrol does not have the technology to contain drones. "The number is just astronomical," Judd told The Washington Times. At least 13 drones believed to be carrying drugs were spotted in November alone, agents said, according to the Times.

Ashley Judd Is Wrong About Video Games
In a TED talk that's been making the rounds recently, actress Ashley Judd took a stab at the video game industry saying that "profiteering off misogyny in video games must end." "I'm so tired of hearing you talk to me about how deplorable #GamerGate was when you're still making billions of dollars off games that maim and dump women for sport," she said. As the Italians would say. Misogyny in video games is vastly overblown by members of the press---both mainstream and within the video game press itself---and by celebrities and activists. I can only surmise that Judd, in this instance, is referring to Grand Theft Auto, the lowest of low-hanging fruit when it comes to criticizing video games for misogyny.

Training a 3-Node Neural Network is NP-Complete
Blum, Avrim, Rivest, Ronald L.
We consider a 2-layer, 3-node, n-input neural network whose nodes compute linear threshold functions of their inputs. We show that it is NPcomplete to decide whether there exist weights and thresholds for the three nodes of this network so that it will produce output consistent with a given set of training examples. We extend the result to other simple networks. This result suggests that those looking for perfect training algorithms cannot escape inherent computational difficulties just by considering only simple or very regular networks. It also suggests the importance, given a training problem, of finding an appropriate network and input encoding for that problem. It is left as an open problem to extend our result to nodes with nonlinear functions such as sigmoids.
