    TED is sponsoring an A.I. XPRIZE. The goal? Develop an artificial intelligence that jumps on stage and gives a 3min talk on a random topic...
  • Ma Ru on 21 Mar 14
     
    I am going to propose that the rules include in addition something practical - like washing the dishes... If we are to foster progress, let's finally do so in the right direction...

    This sort of reminds me of Hinton's paper from some years ago: http://www.cs.utoronto.ca/~ilya/pubs/2011/LANG-RNN.pdf Train it on previous TED talks and let it run TED talk - like gibberish. It would probably be of similar value. He had a nice one on the meaning of life but I can't find it anymore.

  • When first discovered in 2010, the Stuxnet computer worm posed a baffling puzzle. Beyond its unusually high level of sophistication loomed a more troubling mystery: its purpose. Ralph Langner and team helped crack the code that revealed this digital warhead's final target -- and its covert origins. In a fascinating look inside cyber-forensics, he explains how.

    nice graphs ... and nice stats

  • Luís F. Simões on 30 Mar 11
     
    the graphs are Motion Charts. They were made famous by Hans Rosling's TED talks (http://www.ted.com/speakers/hans_rosling.html). Google eventually bought his software, and made part of it freely available: http://code.google.com/apis/visualization/documentation/gallery/motionchart.html. That's what they are using there.
  • LeopoldS on 30 Mar 11
     
    thanks - I was already wondering several times what had happened to this technique that he used at the talk we looked at several times when it was first uploaded ... good that they have made it open source! are they easy to use?
  • Luís F. Simões on 31 Mar 11
     
    the easiest way to use them is: Google Docs > open/create a spreadsheet > Insert > Gadget > Charts > Motion Chart !! :) You have here a tutorial describing all the steps to get it running.

  • How do we search for alien life if it's nothing like the life that we know? At TEDxUIUC Christoph Adami shows how he uses his research into artificial life -- self-replicating computer programs -- to find a signature, a 'biomarker,' that is free of our preconceptions of what life is.

Geoffrey West: The surprising math of cities and corporations | Video on TED.com - 3 views

  • Physicist Geoffrey West has found that simple, mathematical laws govern the properties of cities -- that wealth, crime rate, walking speed and many other aspects of a city can be deduced from a single number: the city's population. In this mind-bending talk from TEDGlobal he shows how it works and how similar laws hold for organisms and corporations.
  • For those who felt that Geoffrey glossed over the implications for cities and companies, the following article in the New York Times did a respectable job of drawing conclusions from Dr. West's paper: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/19/magazine/19Urban_West-t.html
  • dejanpetkow on 27 Oct 11
     
    Tokyo has a very large population and one of the smallest crime rates in the world, in fact Tokyo is known to be the safest big city in the world (w.r.t. crime). It is hard to believe that the crime rate in L.A. is in the same order of magnitude.

    By pulling raw data from the news and plotting it onto a graph, Sean Gourley and his team have come up with a stunning conclusion about the nature of modern war -- and perhaps a model for resolving conflicts. - really interesting
