AI turns 2D images into an explorable 3D world
An artificial intelligence algorithm can transform still images into a high-resolution, explorable 3D world, with potential implications for film effects and virtual reality.
AI can change a fashion model’s pose and alter their clothes to match
A neural network can now repose human beings and change their clothes in photographs without losing key details.
Artificial intelligence sheds light on how the brain processes language
New research suggests the underlying function of 'next-word prediction' computational models closely resembles the function of language-processing centers in the human brain.
A new machine-learning system helps robots understand and perform certain social interactions
Robots can deliver food on a college campus and hit a hole in one on the golf course, but even the most sophisticated robot can't perform basic social interactions that are critical to everyday human life.
Pamela McCorduck, Historian of Artificial Intelligence, Dies at 80
She interviewed many of the scientists who were at the heart of the field through the end of the 1970s, and she compiled a groundbreaking history of its early years.
Surprisingly Smart Artificial Intelligence Sheds Light on How the Brain Processes Language
Neuroscientists find the internal workings of next-word prediction models resemble those of language-processing centers in the brain. In the past few years, artificial intelligence models of language have become very good at certain tasks. Most notab
Amazon wants you to keep quiet, for a brilliantly sinister reason
You're talking to your virtual assistants too much. Amazon would very much like to get you out of the habit.
Google’s parent launches a company dedicated to drug discovery.
Isomorphic Labs is a spinoff of the London-based artificial intelligence lab DeepMind.
Autonomous driving development saves millions in test kilometers
Driving simulator tests are popular—for understandable reasons: any scenario can be simulated at the touch of a button. They are independent of time and weather conditions and without any safety risk for the vehicle, people or the environment. Moreover, an hour in the driving simulator is cheaper and requires less organization than a real driving lesson on a test track.
Tesla's handling of braking bug in public self-driving test raises alarms
Tesla pushed out a new version of the experimental software suite it calls Full Self-Driving to approved drivers on Oct. 23 through an "over the air" update.
Vincent Chio, Shopify: On using AI to revolutionise the retail industry
It’s always interesting to hear how AI is revolutionising specific industries, and few companies are more qualified to comment on the impact on the retail industry than Shopify.
Toward speech recognition for uncommon spoken languages
Automated speech-recognition technology has become more common with the popularity of virtual assistants like Siri, but many of these systems only perform well with the most widely spoken of the world's roughly 7,000 languages.
Collections of traffic images used to enhance the perception capabilities self-driving car
If self-driving cars are to safely navigate traffic, they need to "understand" the things around them.
UK-Aus probe finds Clearview AI fails to comply with privacy regulations
A joint UK-Australia probe has found that Clearview AI fails to comply with privacy regulations.
What this billion-dollar "robocorn" says about ecommerce
Amazon's exclusive reign in fast fulfillment is coming to an end.
Convolution neural network used to identify dog breeds from photographs
Researchers in India have demonstrated how a convolution neural network can be used to identify dog breeds from photographs. Writing in the International Journal of Swarm Intelligence, the team explains how they have trained their algorithm with more than 15 million images of dogs and used a model that could carry out 22,000 different object classifications on those good resolution images.
The Pandemic's Wake Drives Automation Trends
The pandemic forced enterprises to adopt more sophisticated automation programs that have the ability to reshuffle priorities on a dime by using the latest analytics.
Deep Learning AI Explained: Neural Networks
Ballyhooed artificial-intelligence technique known as “deep learning” revives 70-year-old idea. In the past 10 years, the best-performing artificial-intelligence systems — such as the speech recognizers on smartphones or Google’s latest automatic tra
