Steph Curry's former coach says AI can help train the next NBA champions

#artificialintelligence

Steph Curry is currently celebrating another NBA championship -- just 10 years after the star feared he'd never play again. Curry's early years at the Golden State Warriors were plagued by chronic ankle injuries. In 2013, the team's new performance director, Keke Lyles, proposed a new explanation for the problem. Lyles believed Curry was overly reliant on his ankles for speed. The coach devised a training program that transferred power generation to the marksman's hips.


Review: I tested the cute and reborn Palm – but do you really need a smartphone stand-in?

USATODAY - Tech Top Stories

Palm helped popularize the idea of a modern smartphone with its Palm Treo, but after failing to keep up with the iPhone and Android the company has been reborn. Its new product: A 3.3-inch companion device to work alongside those phones, not replace it. And yet Palm's past found me wanting to embrace the newly reborn Palm, an adorable and, yes, palm-sized $349 smartphone stand-in on sale Friday as a Verizon Wireless exclusive. I have fond memories for the original PalmPilot, the first truly successful personal digital assistant. I was even a fan of the Palm Pre, a phone with software that was, in hindsight, ahead of its time but couldn't escape the iPhone's shadow.


Meet the new Palm: Hint, this isn't your old PalmPilot

Palm helped popularize the idea of a modern smartphone with its Palm Treo, but after failing to keep up with the iPhone and Android the company has been reborn. Its new product: A 3.3-inch companion device to work alongside those phones, not replace it. Palm is back – well, sort of. We're not talking about a comeback of the PDA maker, back when that meant personal digital assistant. This Palm has Steph Curry on its team and is making a play for the as-yet undefined market – the one for a mini clone phone.


TF Jam -- Shooting Hoops with Machine Learning – TensorFlow – Medium

#artificialintelligence

In this article, we'll dive into using Unity3D and TensorFlow to teach an AI to perform a simple in-game task: shooting balls into a hoop. The complete source code is available on Github, if you have any questions reach out to me on Twitter. There is a game where players have one main goal: get a ball into a basket. This doesn't sound that hard, but when your blood is pumping, your heart is racing, the crowd is cheering -- well, it gets pretty tough to make that shot. No, never heard of it.
