[ad_1] In their experiment, the team filmed a pile of clutter. Off screen, someone created shadows by moving blocks and other objects. Their algorithm predicted the light transport, or the way light is expected to move in a scene, and compared that to the shadows. It then used that info to reconstruct the off-screen video. […]

Amazon and the NFL team up to create a ‘Digital Athlete’ simulation
[ad_1] The platform will combine Amazon’s AI, machine learning and computer vision technologies with NFL’s data sets, which include info on player position, play type, equipment used, playing surface, player injury info and more.

Microsoft’s Seeing AI app helps the blind in five more languages
[ad_1] Microsoft’s Seeing AI has been helpful for describing objects and text to the blind, but there’s been a key problem: it has only been available in English, making it a non-starter if you don’t speak the language. That won’t be a problem for some people from now on. Microsoft has updated the iOS-only app […]
Amazon created a musical keyboard to help developers learn about AI
[ad_1] The company envisions developers using the 32-key, two-octave keyboard as a tool for experimenting with machine learning. You can use the instrument to lay down a melody, and then, with the help of Amazon’s DeepComposer toolset, create new compositions. At launch, Amazon will have pre-trained algorithms that will be able to dress up melodies […]
Amazon AI generates medical records from patient-doctor conversations
[ad_1] According to Matt Wood, vice president of artificial intelligence at Amazon Web Services, the tool can understand medical language. Additionally, doctors don’t have to worry about calling out commas and periods; the software will take care of that automatically. Wood also claimed that Transcribe Medical is very accurate, though Amazon has yet to publish […]
Australia rolls out AI cameras to spot drivers using their phones
[ad_1] The first three months of the initiative will let first-infraction drivers get away with a warning. After that, however, it gets expensive. They’ll receive a $344 AUD ($233 US) fine and five demerit points in typical cases, with those figures climbing to $457 AUD ($309 US) for school zone violations and 10 demerit points […]
Google explains how the Pixel 4 excels at night sky photography
[ad_1] The trick to capturing the night sky is taking long exposures. As such, Google bumped the Pixel 4’s maximum exposure time to four minutes, up from just one minute on the Pixel 3. However, shooting a single four minute exposure would blur the stars, so the Pixel 4 takes up to 15 exposures, each […]
Amazon ends creepy program that sent samples based on purchase history
[ad_1] Product Sampling is ostensibly a convenience — you can try items you’d otherwise never consider. However, it also serves as a physical reminder of Amazon’s far-reaching data collection. Even if you’re fully aware that Amazon has a detailed record of your purchase history, it could still be creepy to receive cat food or moisturizer […]
AI determines how much help Shakespeare had writing a play
[ad_1] True to longstanding theories, the AI determined that Fletcher wrote just under half of the play. However, it’s where he took over that might be surprising. If this is accurate, Fletcher didn’t just take over at the start of a new scene — he also pitched in near the ends of other scenes. There […]
Hitting the Books: Humans are responsible for the antics of our AIs
[ad_1] How to Speak Machine: Computational Thinking for the Rest of Usby John Maeda When machines become as smart as the people who design them, where does responsibility fall when said machines make a mistake? We’re already beginning to see examples of this throughout society, from suspect facial recognition technology to suspect sentencing software. In […]
