Kamikaze Killers: Iran's Drones Fly with Western Technology

Der Spiegel International

The same applies to typical aviation instruments, such as the gyro stabilizer, also known as a gyroscope, which enables aircraft to orient themselves in the air. The mechanical gyroscope CAR found in a Mohajer 6 drone resembles one previously documented by the group in a Qasef 1 drone. That model is similar to the Shahed 136 and 131 and also belongs to the loitering munitions category, known casually as kamikaze drones. "The data from the report seems valid and very detailed," Ulrike Franke, a drone expert at the European Council of Foreign Relations in London told DER SPIEGEL. At the same time, the experts also discovered differences to older models. According to the report, some of the drones found in Ukraine had been fitted with more modern technology, such as a software-defined radio that was in a Shahad 136.

Characterizing Venture Funds using Machine Learning

#artificialintelligence

At Tyto.ai we are working on interesting problems which occasionally brings us into contact with VCs and other investors. Most of my machine learning background is in natural language processing (NLP). I love NLP, and I could talk all day about it, but sometimes it is difficult to explain how generalizable the techniques in modern NLP are to areas outside text. It's pretty easy to show how a deep learning model can tell the difference between a dog and a cat, and everyone understands how that is relevant to different image types. But techniques developed for NLP are perhaps even more powerful.
