Flying Smarter: AI & Machine Learning in Aviation Autopilot Systems

Many experienced airline travelers have experienced a common scenario- As the boarding time approaches, the gate agent announces that there will be a slight delay since the pilots are running behind schedule on their current flight. The passengers continue to wait as the plane and flight attendants sit idle on the tarmac.  Several companies are… Read more Flying Smarter: AI & Machine Learning in Aviation Autopilot Systems

AI Takes on Radiology

Medical imaging has progressed from a film-based world to a digital one. Major imaging advancements including MRI, CT and ultrasound are the drivers in this evolution. Clinicians were demanding a way to move and display the information acquired digitally to a central archive. For instance, imagine a facility that has two different CT scanners, these… Read more AI Takes on Radiology

Is AI going to be your next personal stylist?

Apparel seller Stitch Fix recently introduced a coral, sleeveless blouse with a split neckline—and an unusual creative provenance. It was one of three new tops designed with the help of artificial intelligence. The San Francisco-based e-commerce company, which sends customers boxes of preselected outfits, is leveraging computers to analyze purchasing behavior and learn what elements… Read more Is AI going to be your next personal stylist?

Generative Adversarial Networks: The Future of Deep Learning?

While deep learning models have been able to achieve state-of-the-art results in image recognition and natural language processing tasks, their capabilities are still limited (https://www.cs.toronto.edu/~vmnih/docs/dqn.pdf, https://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v518/n7540/pdf/nature14236.pdf). Humans can learn patterns from only little data, but current deep learning models require thousands of samples (http://www.cell.com/neuron/pdf/S0896-6273(17)30509-3.pdf). Similarly, humans can succeed at a wide variety of tasks, but… Read more Generative Adversarial Networks: The Future of Deep Learning?

Artificial Intelligence: How far can it go?

After Fridays class and after the recent news of two AI chat bots creating their own language, I wondered to what extent can AI be pushed? Will it be useful after a certain level and When does it all go overboard? But before answering these questions, it is important to know the basics of AI.… Read more Artificial Intelligence: How far can it go?

Six Levels of Autonomous Driving and the Role of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Deep Learning are all terms referring to the performance of tasks normally requiring human intelligence. One of these tasks might still be driving a car, but how long does it take to get to autonomous cars and what kind of approaches in the field of artificial intelligence are already available?… Read more Six Levels of Autonomous Driving and the Role of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence in the Startup World

From Alexa and SIRI to self driving cars, AI is progressing rapidly. It is disrupting major industries like healthcare, finance, gaming, manufacturing, transport, customer service and many more. Robots are already driving cars and performing surgeries. And they are doing it better. According to an article on the verge, (https://www.theverge.com/2017/2/21/14687346/uber-self-driving-car-arizona-pilot-ducey-california) self driving cars are now… Read more Artificial Intelligence in the Startup World

Five AI Research Organizations to Watch

During our Week 5 presentations, we learned about the current state of AI and Haystack TV, Lark and Pinterest’s use of the technology. During the past few years, innovation in the field has accelerated rapidly, enabling a host of new solutions that weren’t possible in the not-too-distant past. As Daniel stated in class, due to… Read more Five AI Research Organizations to Watch

Dr. Watson, I presume? Augmenting healthcare with AI

Health is one of the most precious assets that humans have over their lives. Yet, it can be something that is overlooked for a long time and only given attention when the first symptoms of a disease arise. The general discussion on healthcare is shifting from sick care to preventive medicine where future illnesses are… Read more Dr. Watson, I presume? Augmenting healthcare with AI

Food interactions in the future

Artificial intelligence and Machine learning are a powerful combination when used together. Machine learning generates algorithms that when in touch with large quantities of data can self-teach and develop. With that in mind, we should expect to see smart robots doing all types of jobs and improving themselves really soon. 2016 was a good year… Read more Food interactions in the future
