Artificial Intelligence AI helps patients to get more rest while reducing staff workload A team from Feinstein Institutes for Research thinks AI could be key to helping patients get more rest while reducing the burden on healthcare staff. Everyone knows how important adequate sleep is for recovery. However, patients in pain – or just insomniacs like me – can struggle to get the sleep they need. “Rest is […] Written by Abraham T Diress November 23, 2020November 23, 2020 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Artificial Intelligence When AI Sees a Man, It Thinks ‘Official.’ A Woman? ‘Smile’ Men often judge women by their appearance. Turns out, computers do too. When US and European researchers fed pictures of congressmembers to Google’s cloud image recognition service, the service applied three times as many annotations related to physical appearance to photos of women as it did to men. The top labels applied to men were […] Written by Abraham T Diress November 23, 2020November 23, 2020 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Artificial Intelligence AI tool may predict movies’ future ratings Movie ratings can determine a movie’s appeal to consumers and the size of its potential audience. Thus, they have an impact on a film’s bottom line. Typically, humans do the tedious task of manually rating a movie based on viewing the movie and making decisions on the presence of violence, drug abuse and sexual content.

AI Robotics Robotic AI learns to be spontaneous There are widely sought after autonomous roles for robots, such as spontaneity. The functions of animals including humans, motivate many control mechanisms for autonomous robots. Using predefined modules and control methodologies, roboticists frequently design robot behaviors, which makes them task-specific, restricting their versatility. Researchers propose an alternative approach based on machine learning for designing random […] Written by Anatoly Kebede November 12, 2020November 12, 2020 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked

Artificial Intelligence Translating lost languages using machine learning Recent research suggests that most languages that have ever existed are no longer spoken. Dozens of these dead languages are also considered to be lost, or “undeciphered” — that is, we don’t know enough about their grammar, vocabulary, or syntax to be able to actually understand their texts. Lost languages are more than a mere […] Written by Abraham T Diress November 6, 2020November 6, 2020 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Artificial Intelligence Birdwatching from afar: Amazing new AI-enabled camera system to target specific behaviors An innovative new animal-borne data collection system has been developed by a research team from Osaka University that, driven by artificial intelligence ( AI), has led to the witnessing of previously unreported foraging behaviours in seabirds.

Ideas Who does A.I. think will win today’s election? These systems work in different ways. One system used deep learning to successfully predict the Indian election results, categorizing sentiment and then feeding those results into another neural network that correlates that sentiment with an election result.
