A few months ago I was at Johns Hopkins University’s Applied Physics Lab in suburban Maryland, where I serve as a senior fellow. A group of us — mostly retired four-star military officers — were there to witness a computer-simulated dogfight of a…
How did farming affect your day today? If you live in a city, you might feel disconnected from the farms and fields that produce your food. Agriculture is a core piece of our lives, but we often take it for granted. Farmers…
Its weekend time to try something new in Machine learning and make this time worthwhile. It is important to document the machine learning approach and solution to share it with the stakeholders, as much as it is to design it in the…
“The Algorithm” is impenetrable. It’s mysterious, it’s all-knowing, it’s omnipotent. Except that it’s not. An algorithm is a simple concept that, today, has many complex manifestations. Algorithms’ central and opaque position at the heart of social networks like Facebook cause some to view algorithms…
Embodied AI A new deep learning algorithm can generate high-resolution, photorealistic images of people — faces, hair, outfits, and all — from scratch. The AI-generated models are the most realistic we’ve encountered, and the tech will soon be licensed out to clothing companies…
Apple’s new software update, currently in beta and set to launch this fall, will include a major privacy change that may disrupt the current ad tech industry. iOS 14 will ask users if they want to opt-in before sharing their IDFA identifier…
This article introduces the research about the interactive ability of gesture recognition by the Tmall Genie M laboratory. The research covers the exploration of business and algorithms in gesture recognition, future applications, and prospects for the algorithms. 1. Overview “Gestures are the…
A new Philosopher AI could help you find meaning in a meaningless world — as long as you don’t ask it any controversial questions. The system provides musings on subjects that have plagued humanity since its inception. You can ask it about a topic…
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a revolution in the last few years, and the number of developers, graduate students, and even high schoolers exploring the field has exploded. This begs a fundamental question: When is it the right time to start learning…
2020 marks the start of a critical decade in achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As the Fourth Industrial Revolution continues to transform just about every industry sector, and revolutionize the way we live and work, it is only natural…
