This self-driving car remembers the past using neural networks
Researchers at Cornell University have developed a technique to assist self-driving cars in recalling past events and utilize them as references while navigating, especially in bad weather when the vehicle’s sensors cannot be trusted. On cars, normally, artificial neural networks are not concerned with memory from the past, and they

Neural networks do better as they get bigger
Opposable thumbs have played an essential role in the evolution of our species. However, if evolution had given us two additional thumbs, things would not be much different. A single thumb on each hand is sufficient. But not for neural networks, the most sophisticated AI technologies for performing human-like activities,

Neural network-based visual stimuli classification paves the way for early Alzheimer’s diagnosis
One of the most serious difficulties with Alzheimer’s disease is that it is seldom noticed early on when it may be addressed better. Now, a team of researchers at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) has begun researching how human-computer interfaces might be modified for people with neurologic problems to identify

Dutch police use deepfakes to solve a crime
The Dutch police have utilized a deepfakes video to appeal for information on the 2003 murder of a young boy. According to authorities in Rotterdam, it is a “world-first” inquiry using artificially altered video. What are deepfakes? A deepfake is a form of artificial intelligence that may be used to

AI in manufacturing: The future of Industry 4.0
The industrial revolution, which took place in the last several years, has been the most significant transformation ever faced by the industrial sector. It covers all of today’s cutting-edge technology trends, including autonomous cars, smart connected devices, sensors, computer chips, and other technologies. This metamorphosis was caused by advances in

MIT researchers’ NDF model aims to teach robots new skills
MIT researchers claim they’ve developed a new method to teach robots new skills, which may help them perform manual labor objectives more effectively. A warehouse robot picks mugs off a shelf and places them in boxes for shipment when e-commerce orders pour in. Everything is going smoothly until the warehouse

A new neural network is able to read tree heights using satellite images
The researchers at ETH Zurich have developed the first high-resolution global vegetation height map for 2020 from satellite photos using an artificial neural network. This map may be vital in the fight against climate change and species loss, as well as in designing long-term sustainable development plans. Researchers from ETH

75 Big Data terms everyone should know
This article is a continuation of my first article, 25 Big Data terms everyone should know. Since it got such an overwhelmingly positive response, I decided to add an extra 50 terms to the list. Just to give you a quick recap, I covered the following terms in my first

A Deep Convolutional Neural Network that Understands the Sentiment in Images
What could possibly be a leap in AI technology is a novel method devised by scientists at Adobe Research and the University of Rochester to train computers to draw insights on ‘Visual Sentiments’ from mere images. A paper, entitled “Robust Image Sentiment Analysis Using Progressively Trained and Domain Transferred Deep
