Google has introduced a new “algorithmic improvement” for how it selects titles for the search result snippets for multi-language or transliterated titles or where the title element is written in a different language or script from its content, the company announced.Google said this algorithm update is “based on the general principle that a document’s title should be written by the language or script of its primary contents.”What is changing. Google said it will try to find the best title link (not sure why Google doesn’t…

An asteroid is a relatively small chunk of rocky minerals that orbits the Sun. When they swing by Earth, they are described as Near Earth Asteroids. Most of these rocky objects can be found orbiting in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. But nearly 1,400 of these have been classified as potentially hazardous to Earth, which means their orbit and size pose a reasonable threat to our safety. Most of the asteroids that enter the Earth's atmosphere are unable to withstand the heat and burn into a meteorite before…

We tend to associate healthy coral reefs with their visual splendor: the vibrant array of colors and shapes that populate these beautiful underwater ecosystems.But they can also be rather noisy places. If you've ever been snorkeling in a coral reef environment, you'll know the distinctive clicking and popping sounds made by various marine creatures under the water, such as snapping shrimp and feeding fish.  That buzzy din of background noise – almost like the chattering hiss of radio static – is such a unique feature of…

Adi Shamir’s Secret Sharing* is a cryptographic algorithm that allows distinct parties to jointly share ownership of a single secret by holding *shares*. The original secret can only be reconstructed by using a minimum number of shares, which allows different parties to cooperate without the need to fully trust one another. The family creates four shares and sets a threshold of three, with the Bitcoin key as the original secret. Every Shamir sharing scheme has a total of shares and a threshold.Lane WagnerFounder of…

Artificial intelligence or AI algorithms trained on real astronomical observations speed up the pace of discoveries. However, astronomers at the University of California, Berkeley, discovered that AI can reveal unsuspected connections hidden in complex mathematics arising from general relativity — in particular, how that idea is applied to the discovery of new planets around other stars. An AI algorithm built to locate exoplanets faster when such planetary systems pass in front of a background star and temporarily…

A new algorithmic planner developed at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute divides up tasks optimally between humans and robots.As robots increasingly join people working on the factory floor, in warehouses, and elsewhere on the job, determining who will do which tasks increases in complexity and importance. People are better suited for some jobs, robots for others. And in some cases, it is advantageous to spend time teaching a robot to do a task now and reap the rewards later.Researchers at Carnegie Mellon…

Machine learning (ML) has been developed and growing fast. It also depends on an expert in ML to develop the ML model, i.e. pre-processing, building model, feature engineering, tuning of hyper-parameters, etc. Data scientists have many demanding responsibilities, and challenges. These challenges include the selection of the best algorithm, modification of this algorithm over many iterations, and identification and tuning of the hyper-parameters many times. Despite going through difficult processes, it is worth noting to…

Introduction to Algorithms An algorithm is a step-by-step instruction to solve a given problem efficiently for a given set of inputs. It is also viewed as a tool for solving well-defined computational problems or a set of steps that transform the input into the output. Algorithms are language-independent and are said to be correct only if every input instance produces the correct output. The Instance of the Problem The input of the algorithm is called an instance of the problem, which should satisfy the constraints…

Introduction We are in the golden age of AI (1). AI adoption makes businesses more creative, competitive, and responsive. The software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, coupled with the advancements of the cloud, has matured the software production and consumption process. Most organizations prefer to “buy” AI capabilities than “build” their own. Hence SaaS providers, such as Salesforce, SAP, Oracle, etc., have introduced AI platform capabilities, creating AI-as-a-Service (AIaaS) model. This evolution has made AI adoption easier…

Elon Musk, who has continued to send mixed messages about his $44 billion Twitter deal, has now offered a 3-step solution to avoid manipulation by the microblogging site. Musk told Twitter users that they are being manipulated by the algorithm and that to fix their feed they can follow three steps "Click on the home button, tap on the upper right of the screen and then click on the latest tweet option". Very important to fix your Twitter feed:1. Tap home button.2. Tap stars…
