AI learns to solve a Rubik’s Cube in 1.2 seconds

[ad_1] However, UC Irvine’s DeepCubeA doesn’t hold the record for automated Rubik’s Cube solving. Last year, researchers built a robot that could complete the puzzle in 0.38 seconds. Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s min2phase algorithm, which isn’t an AI system, solved it three times faster than DeepCubeA. While other methods were specifically designed to solve the […]

The fight against childhood blindness could lead to eagle-eyed robots

[ad_1] Each year, around four in 10,000 children worldwide are born with congenital cataract (CC), a rare occurrence by WHO standards, yet the condition accounts for as much as 20 percent of childhood blindness cases. CC is treatable with simple corrective surgery but in parts of the world where medical facilities are few and far […]

Facebook used its AI smarts to build detailed disease prevention maps

[ad_1] These maps, Facebook suggests, could help health organizations better determine how to handle outbreaks or distribute supplies because they’ll provide insights on where people live and move and whether they are connected. Groups such as the American Red Cross are already using them to determine areas in which people are concentrated and coordinate health […]

Facebook Research is developing touchy-feely curious robots

[ad_1] “Much of our work in robotics is focused on self-supervised learning, in which systems learn directly from raw data so they can adapt to new tasks and new circumstances,” a team of researchers from FAIR (Facebook AI Research) wrote in a blog post. “In robotics, we’re advancing techniques such as model-based reinforcement learning (RL) […]

eBay’s improved AI translation boosts Spanish-language sales

[ad_1] Before 2014, eBay had some automatic translation options, but it seems the use of AI has been a boon for sellers as it’s said to have improved translation by around 10 percent. The AI only affected search queries and listing titles (and not product descriptions), but it seems that more accurate translation helped people […]

NVIDIA’s $99 Jetson Nano is an AI computer for DIY enthusiasts

[ad_1] The kit can run Linux out of the box, and supports a raft of AI frameworks (including, of course, NVIDIA’s own). It comes equipped with 4GB of RAM, gigabit Ethernet and the I/O you’d need for cameras and other attachments. Price, unsurprisingly, is the main hook. While the Nano isn’t nearly as powerful as […]

Fan uses AI to remaster 'Star Trek: Deep Space Nine' in HD

[ad_1] Unfortunately, you're highly unlikely to see an official remaster of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Its special effects were shot on video rather than added to film, making an already daunting remastering process that much more difficult — and since i… [ad_2] Source link

Microsoft's AI app for the blind helps you explore photos with touch

[ad_1] Microsoft's computer vision app for the blind and poor-sighted, Seeing AI, just became more useful for those moments when you're less interested in navigating the world than learning about what's on your phone. The company has updated the iOS app wi… [ad_2] Source link

Palmer Luckey’s firm wins Pentagon drone AI contract

[ad_1] Anduril is most commonly known for its existing system, Lattice. It also uses machine learning, in this case to identify objects for the sake of border monitoring (such as a pitch for a virtual border wall) and battlefield awareness. In the long run, Luckey hopes to give soldiers “perfect omniscience” where they’re rarely surprised […]
