Machine learning and Doppler vibrometer monitor household appliances
A way of monitoring household appliances by using machine learning to analyse vibrations on a wall or ceiling has been developed by researchers in the US. Their system could be used to create centralized smart home systems without the need for individual sensors in each object. What is more, the technology could help track energy use, identify electrical faults and even remind people to empty the dishwasher. Read More
Computational Needs for Computer Vision (CV) in AI and ML Systems
Computer vision (CV) is a major task for modern Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) systems. It’s accelerating nearly every domain in the tech industry enabling organizations to revolutionize the way machines and business systems work.
… In this article, we briefly show you the common challenges associated with a CV system when it employs modern ML algorithms. Read More
Ain’t No Such a Thing as a ‘Citizen Data Scientist’
Dear Aspiring Data Scientist,
Before you start using ‘low code’ or ‘drag & drop’ data science tools, please learn the fundamentals.
Why aspire to be ‘Citizen Data Scientist’ when you can truly become a ‘Data Scientist.’ Read More
GPT-3: The First Artificial General Intelligence?
If you had asked me a year or two ago when Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) would be invented, I’d have told you that we were a long way off. I wasn’t alone in that judgment. Most experts were saying that AGI was decades away, and some were saying it might not happen at all. The consensus is — was? — that all the recent progress in AI concerns so-called “narrow AI,” meaning systems that can only perform one specific task. An AGI, or a “strong AI,” which could perform any task as well as a human being, is a much harder problem. It is so hard that there isn’t a clear roadmap for achieving it, and few researchers are openly working on the topic. GPT-3 is the first model to shake that status-quo seriously. Read More
