New AI Algorithm Learns Beyond Its Training

An algorithm that learns directly from human instructions instead of an existing set of examples has been designed. This new type of algorithm has already outperformed conventional methods of training neural networks by an amazing 160%. More importantly, it has also outperformed its own training by 9%. Researchers from the University of Toronto Engineering, Parham … More New AI Algorithm Learns Beyond Its Training

A Smart Algorithm That Helps You Pick Your Favorite Wine

There will soon be an interesting new way to buy wine and it involves a help from a smart algorithm. E-commerce platform called Verve Wine that will launch in December 2016 will offer around 1,000 of hand-picked wines for sale and a smart algorithm that will help consumers pick their favorite wine. As the company … More A Smart Algorithm That Helps You Pick Your Favorite Wine

MIT’s Smart Buildings Use Algorithms and Sensors to Detect Internal Damage

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers have developed a computational model that uses data from smart algorithms and sensors to analyze ambient vibrations from surrounding environmental factors, and then uses this data to monitor mechanical stress or internal building damage. The new model was already tested on the tallest building in Cambridge, MIT’s Green Building, … More MIT’s Smart Buildings Use Algorithms and Sensors to Detect Internal Damage

An Algorithm For Perfect Pictures

Creating a perfect digital picture has just become easier – researchers at the Carnegie Mellon University have developed an algorithm that can remove unwanted objects/bits of photos and replace it with something that fits perfectly. The new algorithm works like this: first, it scans online photo libraries (Photobucket, Flickr, etc) in order to discover camera … More An Algorithm For Perfect Pictures
