AI detecting the worst images the internet has to offer
Awesome, not awesome. #Awesome“Using just the language in millions of old scientific papers, a machine learning algorithm was able to make completely new scientific discoveries…Using just the words found in scientific abstracts, the algorithm was able to understand concepts such as the periodic table and the chemical structure of molecules. The algorithm linked words that were […]
Under the hood of the U.S. military’s facial recognition system
Awesome, not awesome. #Awesome“More women in India die from cervical cancer than in any other country. This preventable disease kills around 67,000 women in India every year, more than 25% of the 260,000 deaths worldwide…[a new] AI model can now differentiate between normal and abnormal [Pap] smear slides with accuracy and is currently under validation in […]
Twitter blocking political ads and machine learning
Awesome, not awesome. #Awesome“…[I]t will be a while before more powerful machine-learning models will be able to predict your mental and physical reactions to a song with any precision… But the researchers are excited about how such models could be applied: to design music for specific individuals, to create highly evocative movie soundtracks, or to help […]
Monitoring 200 million kids to improve AI algorithms
Awesome, not awesome. #Awesome“AI is also helping Wrege unravel some other long-held elephant mysteries — like whether they have a language and how sophisticated it might be…Wrege envisions a time when it will be able to distinguish the sounds of distress or danger in the calls recorded in the forest [using a neural network]. Eventually maybe they’d be […]
Using machine learning to exploit poor populations
Awesome, not awesome. #Awesome“Doctors can detect heart failure from a single heartbeat with 100% accuracy using a new artificial intelligence-driven neural network…“[t]he application of organizational neuroscience, and specifically of neural network approaches to healthcare issues promises to open breakthrough frontiers for both clinical research and practice.”” — Nicholas Fearn, Journalist Learn More from Forbes > #Not Awesome“The rising use […]
Did a human write this?
Awesome, not awesome. #Awesome“[H]ow can we defend and protect ourselves against the inevitable [natural] disasters to come?…Machine-learning technologies can help decision makers more accurately answer urgent questions such as: When will the disaster hit? How destructive will it be? What areas will be hit hardest, and how many people live and work in these areas? What […]
Racial slurs hurled by a machine learning algorithm
Awesome, not awesome. #Awesome“…We’ve never directly detected or measured dark matter, but we know it exists because we can see its influence on the universe. Many of the movements of different stars and galaxies cannot be explained by the gravity exerted by the matter we can see…A team of researchers from ETH Zurich in Switzerland trained […]
