[ad_1] To screen for lung cancer, radiologists typically view hundreds of images from a single CT scan. With this new AI model, Google can generate an overall lung cancer malignancy prediction and identify subtle malignant tissue, or lung nodules, which are often difficult to see. The AI also factors in previous scans, which can help […]

Facebook used its AI smarts to build detailed disease prevention maps
[ad_1] These maps, Facebook suggests, could help health organizations better determine how to handle outbreaks or distribute supplies because they’ll provide insights on where people live and move and whether they are connected. Groups such as the American Red Cross are already using them to determine areas in which people are concentrated and coordinate health […]
Facebook Research is developing touchy-feely curious robots
[ad_1] “Much of our work in robotics is focused on self-supervised learning, in which systems learn directly from raw data so they can adapt to new tasks and new circumstances,” a team of researchers from FAIR (Facebook AI Research) wrote in a blog post. “In robotics, we’re advancing techniques such as model-based reinforcement learning (RL) […]
I listened to a Massive Attack record remixed by a neural network
[ad_1] Mezzanine, by trip-hop group Massive Attack, is a huge record that many, including Rolling Stone, consider one of the best mankind has ever produced. You’ve probably heard at least a few of its tracks, like Teardrop, Angel and Inertia Creeps. I can say with absolute certainty, though, that you’ve never listed to a version […]
LG’s custom chip is made to power AI in appliances and robots
[ad_1] Similarly, the LG Neural Engine is intended to process image and voice data even when it’s not connected to the cloud. That means a device with the chip could recognize its environment and adjust settings accordingly, navigate through a place it hasn’t been before and understand a user’s commands in natural language — all […]
eBay’s improved AI translation boosts Spanish-language sales
[ad_1] Before 2014, eBay had some automatic translation options, but it seems the use of AI has been a boon for sellers as it’s said to have improved translation by around 10 percent. The AI only affected search queries and listing titles (and not product descriptions), but it seems that more accurate translation helped people […]
Google Duplex still confuses restaurants
[ad_1] One year later, restaurants are still confused by Google DuplexNatt Garun,The Verge Google had us in awe when it debuted the AI-powered Duplex tech at I/O 2018. The system can be used to make reservations on your behalf, and it can even make a call if one is required. A year later though, it […]
Senators reintroduce bill to improve AI adoption in government
[ad_1] The General Services Administration would be tasked with both providing AI expertise to agencies and researching policy. The Office of Management and Budget would need to devise strategies for investing in and using AI for federal data. The Office of Personnel Management, meanwhile, would identify the skills necessary for AI workers and create relevant […]
MIT AI model is ‘significantly’ better at predicting breast cancer
[ad_1] The scientists first looked at the mammograms of over 60,000 patients who were treated at Massachusetts General. They then identified the women that developed breast cancer within five years of their screening. With this data, scientists created a model that recognizes the subtle patterns in breast tissue that are the early signs of cancer. […]
Watch Google’s I/O 2019 keynote in 13 minutes
[ad_1] To say that Google had a busy I/O keynote would be an understatement. There were new Pixel phones and a Nest smart display, but those were really just the start. Google also had an avalanche of AI and software updates, including a next-gen Assistant, AR search and of course Android Q. That’s a lot […]
