[ad_1] Scientists tested the app with nearly 53,000 photos of 40 children, half of whom had eye diseases. Out of those, the AI system spotted 16 instances an average of 1.3 years before doctors made a diagnosis. When retinoblastoma can start migrating to the brain in as little as six months after white eye becomes […]

Apple’s Deep Fusion photography comes to iPhone 11s in beta
[ad_1] Deep Fusion takes an underexposed photo for sharpness, and blends that with three neutral pictures and a long high-exposure image on a per-pixel level to achieve a highly customized result. The machine learning system examines the context of the picture to understand where a pixel sits on the frequency spectrum. Pixels for clouds will […]
AI can gauge the risk of dying from heart conditions
[ad_1] The approach is based on the notion that greater variability between heartbeats reflects greater risk. Scientists trained the machine learning system using historical data for patient outcomes. If a patient survived, their heartbeats were deemed relatively normal; if a patient died, their heart activity was considered risky. The ultimate risk score comes by averaging […]
Adobe Premiere Pro can automatically reframe your videos
[ad_1] If you were around during the VHS era, you may already be familiar with the process of changing aspect ratios. “Pan and scan” editing was used to convert 16:9 theatrical movie prints into 4:3 home videos. Editors had to move the footage frame by frame to make sure all relevant visuals stayed on-screen. Today, […]
Emulator uses AI to offer the translations your games never had
[ad_1] Many classic video games are only available in one language, making it difficult to enjoy them as a non-speaker unless you have a fan translation. Now, though, you might just need the right software. Version 1.7.8 of the RetroArch emulator front end has introduced an AI Service feature that uses machine learning to translate […]
US book publishers sue Audible over AI-powered transcription
[ad_1] At the center of the case is the Captions feature the Amazon-owned company announced last month. The feature uses machine learning to allow Audible users to transcribe an audiobook into text. Since it announced Captions, Audible has positioned the feature as a student aid. However, the company also plans to make it available to […]
New wristband could predict aggressive outbursts in people with autism
[ad_1] Matthew Goodwin, a Northeastern University behavioral scientist, created the wearable. While the initial tests show promise, Goodwin and his team of researchers only observed 20 children with autism over a period of 87 hours. They tracked each aggressive episode and corresponding physiological changes and then fed that data into their model. Next, Goodwin hopes […]
Waymo shares some of its self-driving car data to help researchers
[ad_1] The Waymo team explained this as an opportunity to improve the industry as a whole. It hoped he data would improve not just other self-driving vehicles, but also general concepts like perception, behavior prediction and scene understanding. Those could help with computer vision tasks, particularly robotics and other areas where recognizing objects could prove […]
DeepMind uses AI to track Serengeti wildlife with photos
[ad_1] The technology should also be viable in the wild. DeepMind is developing a pre-trained version of its AI model that would need only “modest” hardware and little internet connectivity — important when a powerful computer and fast internet access could be disruptive to wildlife and expensive to deploy. The team hopes to validate its […]
Waymo uses evolutionary competition to improve its self-driving cars
[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 […]
