Tweaking AI Software To Function Like A Human Brain Improves Computer’s Learning Ability
Computer-based artificial intelligence can function more like human intelligence when programmed to use a much faster technique for learning new objects, say two neuroscientists who designed such a model that was designed to mirror human visual learning. In the journal Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, Maximilian Riesenhuber, PhD, professor of neuroscience, at Georgetown University Medical Center, and …

A Facebook-scale Simulator To Detect Harmful Behaviors
For large-scale social networks, testing a proposed code update or new feature is a complex and challenging task. In person and also online, people act and interact with one another in ways that are sometimes difficult for traditional algorithms to model or replicate. People’s behavior evolves and adapts over time and is different from one …
Statistics For Dummies: Introduction To R Objects
R is a programming language and software environment designed with statistical computing in graphics in mind. In R, information is stored in entities called objects. It’s through these objects that you can perform data manipulations, operations, and analysis in R. Here, we will introduce the main types of R objects and how you can create …
The Next AI Frontier – Software That Writes Software
Depending on your opinion, Artificial Intelligence is either a threat or the next big thing. Even though its deep learning capabilities are being applied to help solve large problems, like the treatment and prevention of human and genetic disorders, or small problems, like what movie to stream tonight, AI in many of its forms (such …
