Embodied Logic: Researchers Build Artificial Venus Flytrap - Tech Briefs - 1 views

  •  
    Nice story telling. (watch the video) The materials are actually cool, but the venus flytrap pitch (hinting at a biomimetic success) or the embodied intelligence speech are "a bit" of a stretch,

Detection of Intact Lava Tubes at Marius Hills on the Moon by SELENE (Kaguya) Lunar Rad... - 0 views

  •  
    The paper I talked about with the proof of a gigantic lava tube discovered in 2017 from data of the Japanese lunar mission
  •  
    Given the size of this thing we may consider a project on city urban planning inside. I would see a rocket-port outside the crater, some lift systems to get in, a closed dome with artificial atmosphere where to develop the city possible trekking routes on the lunar surface, a mirror system to get sunlight in, an energy factory just outside the entry.

Alibaba's AI Outguns Humans in Reading Test - Bloomberg - 4 views

  •  
    any papers or insights on methods available?
  •  
    Couldn't find a paper for Alibaba's results but Microsoft Research's performance on this dataset was very close. The paper is here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/r-net.pdf Btw the 'reading test' is a publicly available dataset called 'Stanford Question Answering Dataset (SQuAD)'. Their website shows a leaderboard: https://rajpurkar.github.io/SQuAD-explorer/

Scientists plan huge European AI hub to compete with US - 1 views

  •  
    "Leading scientists have drawn up plans for a vast multinational European institute devoted to world-class artificial intelligence (AI) research in a desperate bid to nurture and retain top talent in Europe. The new institute would be set up for similar reasons as Cern, the particle physics lab near Geneva, which was created after the second world war to rebuild European physics and reverse the brain drain of the brightest and best scientists to the US."

The AI Revolution: Why Deep Learning Is Suddenly Changing Your Life - 1 views

  • Indeed, corporations just may have reached another inflection point. “In the past,” says Andrew Ng, chief scientist at Baidu Research, “a lot of S&P 500 CEOs wished they had started thinking sooner than they did about their Internet strategy. I think five years from now there will be a number of S&P 500 CEOs that will wish they’d started thinking earlier about their AI strategy.” Even the Internet metaphor doesn’t do justice to what AI with deep learning will mean, in Ng’s view. “AI is the new electricity,” he says. “Just as 100 years ago electricity transformed industry after industry, AI will now do the same.”

Black Hole Power: How String Theory Idea Could Lead to New Thermal-Energy Harvesting Te... - 0 views

  •  
    A new class of exotic materials could find its way into next-generation technologies that efficiently convert waste heat into electrical current according to new research. Both the exotic materials and the means by which they generate electricity rely on a hybrid of advanced concepts-including string theory combined with black holes combined with cutting-edge condensed matter physics.

Fermat Library - platform for illuminating scientific papers - 2 views

shared by jcunha on 18 May 17 - No Cached
  •  
    "Just as Pierre de Fermat scribbled his famous last theorem in the margins, professional scientists, academics and citizen scientists can annotate equations, figures and ideas and also write in the margins." Interesting way of analyzing research in the 21st century

Attention PGP Users: New Vulnerabilities Require You To Take Action Now - 2 views

  •  
    no cutting-edge space-related science, but important anyways
  •  
    The EFF communicate is actually quite inaccurate. This is disappointing from the EFF, though for some part, it is due to the communication from the researchers who "discovered" the attack. PGP itself is not broken, but rather some implementations on some email clients (notably Enigmail, though it was patched several months ago). See https://protonmail.com/blog/pgp-vulnerability-efail/ On the other hand, if you are very keen on security, there is an XSS attack reported on Signal, so… https://thehackernews.com/2018/05/signal-messenger-code-injection.html The *good* recommendation here is actually rather to keep your software stack up to date (surprising, no?) and keep encrypting your emails.

Does the brain store information in discrete or analog form? - 1 views

  •  
    "...measured the way people make certain types of decisions and say that their statistical analysis of the results strongly suggests that the brain must store information in discrete form. Their conclusion has significant implications for neuroscientists and other researchers building devices to connect to the brain."

Google's AI has learned how to draw by looking at your doodles - 0 views

  •  
    "To create Sketch-RNN, Google Brain researchers David Ha and Douglas Eck collected more than five million user-drawn sketches from the Google tool Quick, Draw! Each time a user drew something on the app, it recorded not only the final image, but also the order and direction of every pen stroke used to make it. The resulting data gives a more complete picture (ho, ho, ho) of how we really draw." It's funny because this David Ha used to be a quant banker ha ha

Google's AI Wizard Unveils a New Twist on Neural Networks - 2 views

  •  
    "Hinton's new approach, known as capsule networks, is a twist on neural networks intended to make machines better able to understand the world through images or video. In one of the papers posted last week, Hinton's capsule networks matched the accuracy of the best previous techniques on a standard test of how well software can learn to recognize handwritten digits." Links to papers: https://arxiv.org/abs/1710.09829 https://openreview.net/forum?id=HJWLfGWRb&noteId=HJWLfGWRb
  •  
    impressive!
  •  
    seems a very impressive guy :"Hinton formed his intuition that vision systems need such an inbuilt sense of geometry in 1979, when he was trying to figure out how humans use mental imagery. He first laid out a preliminary design for capsule networks in 2011. The fuller picture released last week was long anticipated by researchers in the field. "Everyone has been waiting for it and looking for the next great leap from Geoff," says Kyunghyun Cho, a professor"

The Adorable Microbots That Swarm to Build Structures - 2 views

    At SRI International in Silicon Valley, researchers have developed perhaps the most impressive microbot army yet: the MicroFactory. It's an ant colony made robotic, with half-millimeter machines zipping around to construct truly impressive structures.
