MIT researchers have developed a model which can distinguish people with asymptomatic Covid-19 from healthy people, using the sound of their coughs. These differences are impossible to detect with the human ear. Previously, researchers have trained algorithms to detect conditions such as pneumonia and asthma based on basic phone recordings of coughs. The MIT team, … Read more
The AI surge makes the PC processor maker’s purchase of Xilinx look like a one-way bet, but trouble may surface not that long from now. The parabolic blowoff top is a common feature of stock markets. Sometimes things get so frothy that there is no stopping investors and traders from piling into buying a particular … Read more
A report from Oxford Insights and the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) has assessed countries on the basis of their AI readiness and responsibility and found that some are at risk of furthering inequality and marginalisation. The ‘Government AI Readiness Index’ in the report ranked the US at number one and the UK at number two … Read more
Researchers say they have successfully addressed what they call a ‘major, long-standing obstacle to increasing AI capabilities’ by drawing inspiration from a human brain memory mechanism known as ‘replay’. Artificial intelligence (AI) experts at the University of Massachusetts (UMass) Amherst and the Baylor College of Medicine said they have developed a new method to protect – … Read more
• The word “fuzzy” means “vagueness”. Fuzziness occurs when the boundary of a piece of information is not clear-cut. • Fuzzy sets have been introduced by Lotfi A. Zadeh (1965) as an extension of the classical notion of set. • Classical set theory allows the membership of the elements in the set in binary terms, … Read more
“Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the part of computer science concerned with designing intelligent computer systems, that is, systems that exhibit characteristics we associate with intelligence in human behaviour – understanding language, learning, reasoning, solving problems, and so on.” Scientific Goal To determine which ideas about knowledge representation, learning, rule systems, search, and so on, explain … Read more
Logical AI- What a program knows about the world in general the facts of the specific situation in which it must act, and its goals are all represented by sentences of some mathematical logical language. The program decides what to do by inferring that certain actions are appropriate for achieving its goals. Search – AI programs … Read more
Game Playing- You can buy machines that can play master level chess for a few hundred dollars. There is some AI in them, but they play well against people mainly through brute force computation–looking at hundreds of thousands of positions. To beat a world champion by brute force and known reliable heuristics requires being able … Read more
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a branch of Science which deals with helping machines find solutions to complex problems in a more human-like fashion. This generally involves borrowing characteristics from human intelligence, and applying them as algorithms in a computer friendly way. A more or less flexible or efficient approach can be taken depending on the … Read more
Hearing loss happens to many of us. The US National Institutes of Health, for example, estimates that one in eight Americans aged 12 years and older has hearing loss in both ears. Twenty-five per cent of adults aged between 65 and 75, and half of those aged 75 and older, experience disabling hearing loss. According … Read more
