Deep Learning Visually Explained. Understanding deep learning using…

#artificialintelligence

Deep learning is one of the most powerful AI techniques, however, it can be difficult to understand. In this blog, I will attempt to explain deep learning using visuals and examples. Deep learning architecture is inspired by how our brain works. It is a connection of neurons. Deep learning models can have many parameters.


New Balance To Use Custom-built AI Technology at NYFW to Identify Those Defying The Norm

#artificialintelligence

If you are planning to attend NYFW this season, here are some words of advice, make sure that you are dressed to stand out from the crowd. Well, New Balance, the athletic brand, will be using "custom-built artificial intelligence technology to identify and recognise those who stand out from the crowd." To help them spot those draped in the kind of garments that make them stand out, New Balance will be using Real Time Exception Spotting, a computer vision technology that will collect and show real-time fashion data on unsuspecting people who are identified as "defying the norm." They will do this by scanning crowds of people and using the input collected to "identify the anomalies and exceptions to the'norm.'" According to New Balance, the technology does not only identify colours and shapes, but it can also identify patterns, styles and accessories.


Intel pursuing new chips as it plots a wearables future

PCWorld

Every year, Intel is present at Fashion Week in New York, showing off how technology will change fashion. It's an odd match, but the depth of technologies shown by Intel has changed every year. In previous years, Intel showed off cool bracelets, smart clothes, and an odd robotic spider dress by Dutch designer Anouk Wipprecht. Intel's 2017 showcase was a lot different and more practical, sprinkling in retail technologies with otherworldly wearables. That move to the practical, in a nutshell, describes Intel's tryst with its wearables unit -- from starting as a lab for cool devices to becoming a bootstrapped group focused on practical products amid the company's efforts to reduce wasted spending. Intel believes the best wearable products are yet to come, and it wants to change the way we interact with computing devices, share information, and even entertain ourselves.


How Computer Vision and Machine Learning Will Help You Find the Perfect Shoe Size

#artificialintelligence

The nagging frustrations of ill-fitting shoes could soon be a thing of the past thanks to technology developed by Swedish company Volumental. New Balance has partnered with Volumental to install 3-D foot scanners in select stores worldwide that use foot measurements such as width, height and girth to determine a customer's ideal shoe model and shoe size. Although the technology behind Volumental's scanners may be complex, the process is simple: Customers step into the 3-D foot scanner, which transfers information from their feet to a tablet within seconds. The data is then matched with the proper shoes and size for a perfect fit. "Volumental's product has created a completely new way of interacting with our customers. It brings New Balance's unique fit story to life in a personal & relevant way for each of them. Customers love it and our staff love it," said New Balance international retail director Jonathan Clark.

Shoe manufacturer New Balance is stepping onto the 3-D printing platform with a new running shoe that incorporates a 3-D printed midsole that can be customized to each runner. New Balance is making the shoe available for the first time in Boston in April, 2016 -- timed to coincide with the Boston Marathon. It's difficult to believe that with all of the unrest in Iraq, a company such as AMBS Architects would propose building a skyscraper to rival Dubai's Burj Khalifa, which stands 830-meters high. But here it is: the 1,152-meter-tall Bride's tower. The building is being suggested for Basra, located in the south of Iraq -- a rapidly growing center for business.
