The path of Artificial Intelligence
by Arthur Z. Aita on August 4, 2017 11:49 am
Cognitive computing or artificial intelligence (AI) was first idealized in the late 19th century through the work of George Boole in his literature The Laws of Thought. The british mathematician was also an educator and philosopher. Besides cognitive computing his energy was dedicated to comprehend the challenges of differential equations and algebraic logic. A few… Read more The path of Artificial Intelligence
Big Data and Pre-emptive Services in Wireless: Improving Performance at the Edge
by David L Love on August 4, 2017 5:25 am
To build on previous posts discussing what the wireless network of the very near future will deliver and enable, one area requiring exploration is artificial intelligence and how that can be used to improve network performance, particular at the edge. With current Long Term Evolution (LTE) fourth generation (4G) wireless networks, remote radio units (RRUs)… Read more Big Data and Pre-emptive Services in Wireless: Improving Performance at the Edge
Artificial Intelligence in the Startup World
by Arohi Jain on August 3, 2017 10:38 pm
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
Will tech replace nurses?
by Ghita Wallin on August 2, 2017 12:44 pm
This spring I took part in a multidisciplinary course at Aalto University focusing on innovating in elderly care. For one week, each of us shadowed a nurse making house calls. This was an eye-opening experience for me, revealing how alone many elderly people are in Finland, as fewer younger people today take care of their… Read more Will tech replace nurses?
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
by Arthur Z. Aita on July 28, 2017 1:48 pm
As we collect, store and process more and more data, the internet of things (IoT) gets a bigger role in our lives. Before you know it there is no need to bring your wallet to the groceries store anymore , you can simply use your phone (apple pay, venmo etc). Or even when you arrive… Read more Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
The Limits and Possibilities of Artificial Intelligence
by Adeesh Goel on July 28, 2017 11:58 am
The term Artificial Intelligence is somewhat misleading as it conveys that machines have the power to possess “intelligence”, of the human kind, which is not perfectly accurate. While AI and Machine Learning systems have had immense success in finding patterns when they ingest significant chunks of data, this intelligence is not generalizable. Hence, the pattern… Read more The Limits and Possibilities of Artificial Intelligence
BIG DATA AND MODERN SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS
by Victor Gardrinier on July 28, 2017 11:31 am
One could define Big Data as “the growth in the volume of structured and unstructured data, the speed at which it is created and collected, and the scope of how many data points are covered.”[1] According to Jeffrey Welser Vice President and Lab Director at IBM Research, unstructured data volume grows exponentially. Today, in just… Read more BIG DATA AND MODERN SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS
Big data: Computer vs. Human Brain
by Teun de Planque on July 28, 2017 11:15 am
The amount of digital data continues to double every two years (https://www.economist.com/news/business/21717430-success-nvidia-and-its-new-computing-chip-signals-rapid-change-it-architecture). Digital data is growing so fast that computers and existing storage techniques are not able to keep up (https://www.technologyreview.com/s/602156/the-big-deal-with-big-data-isnt-just-the-data/). Data is produced at a rate at which government organizations and companies do not know how to analyze it, and a lot of the… Read more Big data: Computer vs. Human Brain
Dr. Big Data: "How are you feeling today?"
by Dean Rauschenbusch on July 28, 2017 11:13 am
“Hello Doctor, I haven’t been feeling well for the past days. I think I am sick.” We have all said this sentence in one form or another far too often. If we don’t feel well and this feeling doesn’t pass or gets worse we often seek a doctor for medical help. But lets see about… Read more Dr. Big Data: "How are you feeling today?"
The transparent society in the era of Big Data
by Christina Verena Rentschler on July 28, 2017 11:12 am
“Big Data is about much more than just correlating database tables and creating pattern recognition algorithms. It’s about money and power.”[7] While talking about the benefits of Big Data and Analytics in the field of manufacturing and other businesses to improve processes or even predict and prevent certain events, a lot of data produced nowadays… Read more The transparent society in the era of Big Data
