Speak The Language Of The Future! Here Are The Top 10 Programming Languages For AI

AI algorithms and models require a specific set of programming constructs and tools that enable the creation of intelligent behavior. For example, programming languages used for AI development typically include constructs for handling large datasets, implementing complex mathematical operations, and working with probabilistic reasoning. Programming languages used for AI development also include specialized libraries and frameworks that provide developers with pre-built functions and tools for specific AI tasks. These libraries and frameworks help to speed up the development process and make it easier for developers to build complex AI systems. Programming languages are an essential component of AI development. They…

A Tensor Language To The Rescue

High-performance computing is needed for an ever-growing number of tasks—such as image processing or various deep learning applications on neural nets—where one must plow through immense piles of data, and do so reasonably quickly, or else it could take ridiculous amounts of time. It’s widely believed that, in carrying out operations of this sort, there are unavoidable tradeoffs between speed and reliability. If speed is the top priority, according to this view, then reliability will likely suffer, and vice versa. However, a team of researchers, based mainly at MIT, is calling that notion into question, claiming that one can, in…

How I’m Using AI To Translate ‘Wash Your Hands’ In 500 Languages

By using both human and machine-generated translations, key health phrases can be translated into local languages spoken all over the world. You might not know, but there are currently 7,117 languages spoken in the world. Not dialects, but living languages! However, much of the world’s digital media is available in only a couple dozen languages, and translation platforms like Google Translate only support around 100 languages. This reality means that there are billions of people around the world that are marginalized due to a lack of timely access to information. The current coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has made this painfully clear, and…

To The Brain, Reading Computer Code Is Not The Same As Reading Language

In some ways, learning to program a computer is similar to learning a new language. It requires learning new symbols and terms, which must be organized correctly to instruct the computer what to do. The computer code must also be clear enough that other programmers can read and understand it. In spite of those similarities, MIT neuroscientists have found that reading computer code does not activate the regions of the brain that are involved in language processing. Instead, it activates a distributed network called the multiple demand network, which is also recruited for complex cognitive tasks such as solving math…
