Jeremy Ginsberg: Grippe, Detecting influenza epidemics using search engine query data :... - 0 views

  •  
    "Seasonal influenza epidemics are a major public health concern, causing tens of millions of respiratory illnesses and 250,000 to 500,000 deaths worldwide each year1. In addition to seasonal influenza, a new strain of influenza virus against which no previous immunity exists and that demonstrates human-to-human transmission could result in a pandemic with millions of fatalities2. Early detection of disease activity, when followed by a rapid response, can reduce the impact of both seasonal and pandemic influenza3, 4. One way to improve early detection is to monitor health-seeking behaviour in the form of queries to online search engines, which are submitted by millions of users around the world each day. Here we present a method of analysing large numbers of Google search queries to track influenza-like illness in a population."

#complexity #evolution @biogarage Mit Sex die Informatik verbessern - 0 views

  •  
    "Die Natur produziert die besten Lösungen: Keine Maschine klettert so wendig engste Rohre hinauf wie eine Ratte. Und eine effektivere Schmutzabwehr als bei der Lotusblüte gibt es kaum. Den Erfolg der Evolution in der Natur auf die Informatik übertragen, will nun ein internationales Team.. Denn obwohl Partner benötigt werden - und diese zu finden einen beträchtlichen Aufwand bedeutet -, scheint sich Sex zu lohnen, wie die Evolution beweist. Das Ergebnis der sexuellen Fortpflanzung - „die Lösung" - ist robuster, selbst bei veränderter Umgebung. Ob und wie sich dieser evolutionäre Prozess auf Algorithmen, die anders als in der Natur z. B. auch mehr als zwei „Partner" rekombinieren können, übertragen lässt, das wird Prof. Friedrich gemeinsam mit einem neuen Postdoktoranden in Jena untersuchen. Dabei ist ihm durchaus bewusst, dass die Natur viel zu komplex ist, um sie 1:1 zu übertragen"

Foto-Scout-Zuse - 0 views

  •  
    Fotografieren ist mit der Digitaltechnik zu einem Volkssport geworden: Tausende von Bildern und GBytes sammeln sich in kürzester Zeit auf den Festplatten. Die riesigen Bildmengen müssen gesichtet, verwaltet und wiedergefunden werden. Dies gilt sowohl für professionelle als auch für Amateurfotografen. Zu diesem Zweck sind bereits viele Softwaresysteme wie Bildbetrachter, Betrachtungs- und Verwaltungssoftware entstanden. Um Bilder wiederzufinden, erlauben manche Systeme verschiedene Arten der Verschlagwortung von Bildern, die der Nutzer in mehr oder weniger aufwendiger Weise vornehmen muß. Andere zeichnen sich durch einen hohen Komfort bei der Bildbearbeitung, DiaShows und Namensgebungen der Bilder aus. Den genannten Systemen fehlt etwas ganz Entscheidendes, nämlich qualitativ hochwertige Suchstrategien.

Machine Consciousness: No Practical Value? - 0 views

  •  
    I read an interesting article this morning from the Burlington Free Press featuring the work of Josh Bongard, hired by the University of Vermont as an assistant professor of computer science. The article focused much of its attention on Bongard's self-aware robot, Black Starfish.

Strong AI: Safety and Ethical Considerations - 0 views

  •  
    I've been reading up on some of the considerations that must be part and parcel with the actual process of developing strong AI (defined as artificial intelligence that equals or exceeds human-level intelligence), and it seems clear that some pretty important questions must be asked and answered as part of the process.

Grassroots Nanotech: Controlled Self-Assembly - 0 views

  •  
    Throughout our history, mankind has created tools the same way, essentially using the top-down approach. Think about it. In the stone age, a sharp cutting tool was fashioned by using a larger stone to chip away pieces until the cutting stone was sharp enough. Today, a computer chip is made by a large laser that etches the circuits into a piece of silicon.

Understanding the Technological Singularity: Vernor Vinge Interview - 0 views

  •  
    For those of you who are new to the concept of the coming technological singularity, this NPR podcast, featuring Vernor Vinge (pronounced vin-gee), a retired San Diego State University Professor of Mathematics, computer scientist, and science fiction author, will be well worth your time. In it, he talks about AI as refering to "amplified intelligence" rather than artificial intelligence, among other highly visionary predictions.

Wolfram Blog : Is Mathematica for K-12 Education? You Bet! - 0 views

  • let students explore concepts by manipulating an expression—or a graphical representation of an expression—with things like sliders, buttons, and checkboxes. When you wrap the Manipulate command around an existing calculation, Mathematica automatically creates a sophisticated interface that lets you and your students change values and see what happens in real time. It’s truly empowering! Now students can interact with everything from two-dimensional trajectory paths… to Riemann sums… to the phases of the planets… to almost anything else you can imagine. See the Wolfram Demonstrations Project for thousands of free ready-to-use examples.
