DeepMind’s new AI gives historians a powerful new tool to interpret the past
Google DeepMind has collaborated with classical scholars to create a new AI tool that uses deep neural networks to help historians decipher the text of damaged inscriptions from ancient Greece.
Reducing crime with better visualisation of data
Here are a few of them: Interpreting visual data: The human brain can process visual data 60,000 times faster than it does text. Data visualisation gives law enforcement professionals a crucial edge because smart visual tools amplify human abilities and allow them to more easily spot anomalies or...
AI-produced images can’t fix diversity issues in dermatology databases
Image databases of skin conditions are notoriously biased towards lighter skin. Rather than wait for the slow process of collecting more images of conditions like cancer or inflammation on darker skin, one group wants to fill in the gaps using artificial intelligence.
