Artificial Intelligence

In the past decade or so, there has been an explosion of interest in “coding”. Everyone and their pet dog has heard of Python, JavaScript, and C++. Talk about “Machine Learning” and “Artificial Intelligence” is all over in the publications of government institutions, academia, and large corporations. For whatever reason, everything has to be data driven. How can we leverage … [Read more...] about Life beyond “learn to code”

With every year, AI is beginning to bring more standardized levels of diagnostic accuracy in medicine. This is true of skin cancer detection, for example, and lung cancers. Now, a startup in Israel called Embryonics says its AI can improve the odds of successfully implanting a healthy embryo during in vitro fertilization. What the company has been developing, in essence, is an … [Read more...] about This startup says its AI can better spot a healthy embryo — and improve IVF success – TechCrunch

ResNet owes its name to its residual blocks with skip connections that enable the model to be extremely deep. Even though including skip connections is a common idea in the community now, it was a revolutionary architectural choice and allowed ResNet to reach up to 152 layers with no vanishing or exploding gradient problems during training.ResNet 34 Architecture (Illustration … [Read more...] about ResNet with TensorFlow (Transfer Learning)

As the global agricultural industry stretches to meet expected population growth and food demand, and food security becomes more of a pressing issue with global warming, a startup out of South Africa is using artificial intelligence to help farmers manage their farms, trees, and fruits. Aerobotics is a South African startup that provides intelligent tools to the world’s … [Read more...] about South African startup Aerobotics raises $17M to scale its AI-for-agriculture platform – TechCrunch

The continuing development and deployment of AI technologies in diverse domains has more and more people interacting with AI-powered products in their everyday lives. We deal daily with AI assistants like Alexa or Google Home, while robot vacuums clean our floors, algorithms trade our stocks and route-planning apps optimize our trips.Although most human-AI interaction is … [Read more...] about CHI 2021 | ‘AI as Play’ Challenges the Productivity-Based Human-AI Interaction Paradigm

Otter.ai, the A.I.-powered voice transcription service which already integrates with Zoom for recording online meetings and webinars, is today bringing its service to Google Meet’s over 100 million users. However, in this case, Otter.ai will provide its live, interactive transcripts and video captions by way of a Chrome web browser extension. Once installed, a “Live Notes” … [Read more...] about A.I.-powered transcription service Otter.ai can now record from Google Meet – TechCrunch

Before learning the collections module, we need to understand two things. One is the container data type and another one is abstract data types (queue) and (stack). First of all, the container data type is a data type that holds the same or different kinds of values.Coming to the second thing, we should know how a collection of data made. To know this, let us consider an … [Read more...] about Your One-Stop Guide to Collections in Python

MIT researchers are looking to address the significant gap between how quickly robots can process information (relatively slowly), and how fast they can move (very quickly thanks to modern hardware advances), and they’re using something called ‘robomorphic computing’ to do it. The method, designed by MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence (CSAIL) graduate Dr. Sabrina … [Read more...] about MIT aims to speed up robot movements to match robot thoughts using custom chips – TechCrunch
