Companies Are Rushing to Use AI—but Few See a Payoff
Besides the pallet scanning system, AI helps route deliveries, control robots that ferry packages around warehouses, and control an experimental robot arm that picks and sorts parcels.
A radical new technique lets AI learn with practically no data
So instead of telling the machine, ‘This image is the digit 3,’ we say, ‘This image is 60% the digit 3, 30% the digit 8, and 10% the digit 0.’” The limits of LO-shot learning Once the researchers successfully used soft labels to achieve LO-shot learning on MNIST, they began to wonder how far this...
Trailblazing initiative marries ethics, tech
The idea is to weave philosophical concepts and ways of thinking into existing computer science courses so that students learn to ask not simply “Can I build it?” but rather “Should I build it, and if so, how?”

Translating lost languages using machine learning
However, researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) recently made a major development in this area: a new system that has been shown to be able to automatically decipher a lost language, without needing advanced knowledge of its relation to other...
