Current Events #3

     Machine learning computer systems is which you get better with experience are poised to turn into the economy much as steam engines and electricity have in the past. They can out stand people in a number of tasks though they are unlikely to replace people in all jobs. Mitchell, who the founded the world's first Machine Learning Department at Carnegie Mellon University describe 21 criteria to evaluate whether a task is amendable to machine learning.  Machine Learning is one element  of what is known as artificial intelligence. Rapid advances in machine intelligence have yielded recent improvements in facial recognition, natural language understanding and computer vision. Its already widely used for credit card fraud detection, financial market analysis and recommendation systems with new applications such as medical diagnosis on the horizon. Machine Learning will affect a particular job or profession can be difficult because machine learning tends to automate or semi-automate i

                  Inner working of victorious AI revealed by researchers      At December 18, 2017 an artificial intelligence defeated the four top professional players in no time-limit Texas Hold'em used a three-pronged approach to master a game with more decision points than atoms in the universe. They explained how their AI broke the game into computationally manageable parts and fixed potential weaknesses in its strategy during the competition. Libratus beaten each of the players individually in the two-player game and wonmore than $1.8 million in chips. Measured in milli-big  blinds per hands (mbb/hand), a standard used by imperfect- information game AI researchers. Libratus decisively defeated the humans by 147 mmb/hand. In poker lingo, this is 14.7 big blinds per game.        I think that this is a cool thing. Also, I can't beleive a guy defeated the top four professional player in no time-limit. Congratulation on wining like a million. . Source:  https://www

Privacy

   I think privacy is a major thing to look out for because privacy is a scary thing. When you post something and message something or even call someone its not private. For example, when you call your friend the phone company can track or know who you were talking to because they will have the tracking thing inside your phone. In addition to that there can be a weird or scary person working in the phone company and follow where you are at.Also, when you post something in social media people can view it and that they can screenshot it and save it into their phone. If you deleted something in your media its not actually deleted. Its just that you won't be able to see but the company would see it. Privacy is a scary thing to do.

Current Event#1

                      This current event is a group of researchers that used cryptographic techniques to decode the activity of motor neurons. Cryptographic means the science or study of the techniques of secret writing, especially code and cipher systems, methods , and the like. The researchers goal allowed them to predict, from brain data, and with only generic knowledge of typical movements which direction monkeys will move their arms. The researchers are from the University of Pennsylvania, the Georgia Institute of Technology, and the Northwestern University have now accomplished a similar feat using cryptographic techniques to decode the activity of motors neurons. The same cryptographic techniques can or could eventually be used to decode complex patterns of muscle activation. The research was lead by Konrad Kording. Kording is a Penn Integrates Knowledge Professor with appointments in the Department of Neuroscience in Penn;s Perelman School of Medicine and in the Department of

      Researchers are creating a library of movement data from different dog breeds, to make animals animations in films and video games more realists.  Movies like Planets of Apes uses motion to capture techniques extensively to transform actors into apes but it doesn't work for true 4 legs animals. Computer scientist now from the Centre for Analysis of Motion,Entertainment Research&Applications at the University of Bath are trying to look for a way or a new technique that will be able to use the movements of a human actor to drive a four-legged animal character, to make it move in a more realistic way. They will use different type of dog breeds to study the gaits of the animals and hope to expand the project to cats next year.     In my opinion, I think its a good and bad because for us humans we would it. However, for the dogs or cats they wouldn't like because we are using them for this. Source:  https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/11/171128190050.htm

Current Event#4

     According to the Michigan State University indicates that online kids or students who uses innovative robots feels more engaged and connected to the teacher and students in the classroom. It is the first time ever study of a pioneering robot-learning course shows. The study, published in Online Learning, discovered that robot learning helps and benefit the remote students more than the traditional video-conferencing.The traditional video-conferencing is where in which multiple students are displayed on a screen. Christine Greenhow explained how the technology has implicated for telecommuters working remotely and students with disabilities and ill. MSU's College of Education started using robot learning in 2015.         In my opinion, I like this robot learning because it supports students with disabilities or someone who is ill. In my family there is someone with a disabilities and it can benefit him. Not only him but for people or kids out there in the world. Source:  htt
