A new approach could make it easier to train computer for “extreme classification problems” like speech translation and answering general questions, researchers say. The divide-and-conquer approach to machine learning can slash the time and computational resources required. Online shoppers typically string together…
The Pipe Operator : A Better Way To Nest Functions In R
During your data manipulation, exploration, and even analysis, functions can get complicated, putting one function inside of one another in order to accomplish tasks in one swoop. These are called nested functions. A nested function may look like something like this:…
A Short Primer On Generalized Linear Models (GLM)
Generalized Linear Models (GLM) refers to a large class of models which include the familiar ordinary linear regression — ordinary least squares (OLS) regression — and the analysis of variance (ANOVA) models. A bag loaded with tricks (models, rather) Both OLS…
Huawei and Peng Cheng Laboratory Build Cloud Brain II, Embarking on a New Chapter for AI Clusters at 1000 PFLOPS Scale
Huawei and Peng Cheng Laboratory (PCL) jointly released Peng Cheng Cloud Brain II Phase 1 last 29 November 2019, officially launching the journey to AI clusters at 1000 petaFLOPS (PFLOPS) scale. This marks a new milestone in the scientific research field…
Algorithms Might Be Everywhere, But Like Us, They’re Deeply Flawed
What’s the problem? As algorithms become entrenched into society, the debate about their effects rages on. In essence, algorithms are sequences of instructions used to solve problems and perform functions in computer programming. As mathematical expressions, algorithms existed long before modern…
Global AI Survey: AI Proves Its Worth, But Few Scale Impact
While AI continues to enjoy a continuously increasing adoption in 2019, much work is still needed in order for it to create significant impact — McKinsey reveals in their released 2019 Global AI Survey paper. Let’s look further into the main findings…
Flexible Yet Sturdy Robot Is Designed To “Grow” Like A Plant
In today’s factories and warehouses, it’s not uncommon to see robots whizzing about, shuttling items or tools from one station to another. For the most part, robots navigate pretty easily across open layouts. But they have a much harder time winding…
Who’s On The Lead In The 5G Patent Race?
The full integration of 5G in our technological terrain will open a world of new innovations and services, radically changing the way that we experience the world. With this in mind, who is currently in the lead when it comes to…
A.I. Predicts Which Drug Combos Will Best Treat TB
With a shortage of new tuberculosis drugs in the pipeline, a software tool can predict how current drugs—including unlikely candidates—can combine in new ways to create more effective treatments. “This could replace our traditional trial-and-error system for drug development that is…
Machine Learning Predicts How Big Wildfires Will Get
A new technique can predict the final size of wildfires from the moment of ignition, researchers report. Built around a machine learning algorithm, the model can help forecast whether a wildfire will be small, medium, or large by the time it…
