[ad_1] The approach regularly has the networks compete against each other, with weaker examples being replaced by stronger “progeny” that are copies of the better-performing networks with slightly tweaked parameters (just as a child isn’t a perfect clone of its parent). This automatically gets rid of the poorer-performing networks while saving Waymo from having to […]

AI learns to solve a Rubik’s Cube in 1.2 seconds
[ad_1] However, UC Irvine’s DeepCubeA doesn’t hold the record for automated Rubik’s Cube solving. Last year, researchers built a robot that could complete the puzzle in 0.38 seconds. Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s min2phase algorithm, which isn’t an AI system, solved it three times faster than DeepCubeA. While other methods were specifically designed to solve the […]
Grammarly’s color-coded AI suggestions show what needs fixing
[ad_1] The company tells Engadget that the “majority” of the suggestions will carry over to the mobile keyboard for Premium users. Free users will have to wait until sometime later in 2019. No matter where the updated editor is available, this could be helpful if you want a summary of needed improvements that isn’t quite […]
AI could study your brain to help teachers improve their courses
[ad_1] The team started out by having rookie and intermediate engineering students both take standard tests as well as answer questions about pictures while sitting in an fMRI scanner. From there, they had the algorithm generate “neural scores” that could predict a student’s performance. The more certain parts of the brain lit up, the easier […]
Walmart uses AI camera tech to track checkout theft at 1,000 stores
[ad_1] The store chain is using tech from several companies, including Everseen. The technology has been in use for the past two years. If you ask the company, it appears to be working. Spokeswoman LeMia Jenkins told BI that shrinkage rates (that is, the loss of goods to theft and accidents) have dropped at stores […]
Netflix experiment rumbles your phone during shows
[ad_1] Other projects are more clever than pragmatic, but they could still have their uses. The Voice of Netflix uses a neural network to grab dialogue from streaming shows and turn them into new sentences on demand. If you want to hear characters from The Crown recite something silly, you can. TerraVision helps show producers […]
Volvo’s self-driving buses and trucks will run on NVIDIA tech
[ad_1] Work will start “immediately,” Volvo said. Staff from Volvo and NVIDIA will even share workspace at their respective headquarters in Gothenburg and Santa Clara. There’s no timetable for when you can expect to see the first fruits of the partnership on a road near you. To some degree, this is about fast-tracking Volvo’s work […]
IBM AI helps predict breast cancer a year before it appears
[ad_1] The IBM approach trains the AI with anonymized mammography images linked to biomarkers (such as reproductive history) and clinical data, allowing the creation of an algorithm with comparatively high accuracy. It can reduce the chance of a bad diagnosis by establishing connections between traits you wouldn’t spot in imagery alone, such as iron deficiencies […]
Spies may have used an AI-generated face to infiltrate US politics
[ad_1] The imaginary Jones had LinkedIn connections to a number of American officials or political influencers, including economist Paul Winfree (considered for a Federal Reserve seat), a deputy assistant secretary of state and a senator’s senior aide. She also had links to think tank activists at the Brookings Institution and Heritage Foundation. There are no […]
MIT algorithm helps robots guess where humans are going next
[ad_1] Rather than simply rely on the distance of points on a person’s body, like common systems, the new approach aligns segments of a person’s trajectory with a collection of reference movements. Moreover, it considers timing as well — it knows you’re not about to change course if you’ve just started moving. Robots should be […]
