What are the smartest and dumbest cat breeds?

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Every cat owner knows that you don't have to observe the animals for long to know they are highly intelligent beings. Despite having relatively small brains, studies have shown felines have high emotional intelligence and a great willingness to adapt, making them some of the smartest creatures in the animal kingdom. But how to breeds stack up when it comes to intelligence? As a study this month revealed the most intelligent breeds of dogs, we delve into which breeds of cats can be crowned the cleverest. Does it respond to its own name? People tend to assume that cat's cannot learn their own names, unlike dogs. But research from Sophia University in Japan revealed that cats do recognise when their name is being called.


SimSiam in PyTorch, Part 1: The Data

In this series, we will write, in PyTorch, SimSiam, an awfully simple yet competitive self-supervised learning (SSL) technique that dispenses with complicated tricks prevalent in other SSL algorithms like BYOL's momentum encoder, SimCLR's negative pairs, and SwAV's online clustering. Audience: Because SimSiam is quite straightforward, there are no prerequisites concerning self-supervised learning, and everything will be covered or helpful articles are linked. However, the fundamentals of convolutional neural networks plus PyTorch are required. Without further ado, let's get coding! Oft-times, I prefer top-down approaches for diving into a topic compared to starting with the building blocks and gradually building up to the bigger idea.


Opinion How to Build Artificial Intelligence We Can Trust

Today's A.I. systems know surprisingly little about any of these concepts. Take the idea of time. We recently searched on Google for "Did George Washington own a computer?" None of Google's first 10 search results gave the correct answer. The results didn't even really address the question.
