Machine learning

Another exciting emerging technology is machine learning, which is essentially a computer’s ability to learn on its own by analyzing data and tracking repeating patterns. For example, social media platforms use machine learning to get a better understanding of how you’re connected with those in your social network. They do this by analyzing your likes, … Read more

Neural networks ‘disentangled’ for computer vision without the black box

Researchers from Duke University have trained a deep neural network to share its understanding of concepts, shedding light on how it processes visual information.  Deep neural networks are loosely modelled on real brains, with layers of interconnected “neurons” which respond to features in the input data. For image recognition, input data is processed by the … Read more
