The playbook that these consumer internet companies use to build their AI systems — where a single one-size-fits-all AI system can serve massive numbers of users — won’t work for these other industries (manufacturing, agriculture & healthcare). To bridge this…
Machine-learning algorithms are used to find patterns in data that humans wouldn’t otherwise notice and are being deployed to help inform decisions big and small. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science explores how to help nonexperts effectively, efficiently and…
The secret to achieving energy efficiency lies in the silicon neurons’ ability to learn to communicate and form networks, as shown by new research from the lab of Shantanu Chakrabartty, the Clifford W. For several years, his research group studied…
Jennifer Flynn had a problem. She wanted to push out one small update of the company’s software, which uses machine learning to find sales leads for its business customers. Data scientists struggle to keep track of which version of a…
MIT researchers have used AI to predict which technologies are rapidly improving — and which ones are overhyped. In a new study, the team quantitatively assessed the future potential of 97% of the US patent system. The fastest-improving domains were predominantly…
Automated machine learning, or AutoML, has generated plenty of excitement as a pathway to “democratizing data science.” The goal is straightforward enough: By embracing a new AI mindset and automating key elements of algorithm design, AutoML can make machine learning…
A Calgary, Alberta, animal health technology company, Sylvester.ai, has developed an app called Tably that uses the phone’s camera to tell whether a feline is feeling pain. The app looks at ear and head position, eye-narrowing, muzzle tension, and how…
On paper, blockchain is irrefutable. It delivers transparency, it’s immutable, self-governed, and secure. The only thing holding the technology back until recently was a lack of understanding from traditional businesses. Now, with the growing acceptance of crypto, and the adoption…
Smart toys made with artificial intelligence, such as machine-learning capabilities, can collect different forms of data from kids. Whether an AI-enabled toy is personalizing lessons based on how fast your kid learns shapes, or a doll is learning your kid’s…
As manufacturers become increasingly connected, their systems, machines, sensors and other devices are generating a wealth of new data, and given the sheer volume of data generated, that isn’t easily analyzed. It is a challenge that traditional manufacturing systems are…
