Predicting

An artist’s rendition of big bang nucleosynthesis, the early universe period in which protons “p” and neutrons “n” combine to form light elements. The presence of dark matter “χ” changes how much of each element will form.

Dark matter is invisible matter…

End-to-end phyton project looking at exercise data from an Apple Watch, from data collection to model deploymentPhoto by Blocks Fletcher on UnsplashIn this series of posts, I will go through all steps of an end-to-end machine learning project. From data extraction and preparation to the deployment of the model using an API and finally to the creation of a front end to actually solve the problem helping with decisions. The main topics of each one are:Project setup, Data Processing, and Data ExplorationModel…

Last updated: June 6th, 2022 at 13:01 UTC+02:00 Samsung might get embroiled in another legal battle on account of patent infringement. Patent licensing company K. Mirza LLC filed a lawsuit against Samsung recently, claiming that the Korean tech giant has taken a smartphone battery technology that was originally developed by Dutch research institute “Nederlandse Organisatie Voor Togepast Natuurwetenschappelijk Onderzoe.” The technology in question is an algorithm that can determine how much battery life is left on a…

Even artificial intelligence, which was used to compose a play, depended on damaging preconceptions for casting Miseducation of algorithms is a crucial issue; when artificial intelligence mimics the unconscious attitudes, bigotry, and preconceptions of the humans who created these algorithms, serious harm can result. Computer tools, for example, have incorrectly identified Black offenders as twice as common to re-offend as white defendants. When an artificial intelligence used pricing as a proxy for healthcare…

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 marks the end of the line for not only the cosmic franchise’s cast and their characters but also the man behind the camera. After steering all three entries in the trilogy — which is actually a pretty rare feat in the MCU — director James Gunn looks to be saying goodbye to Marvel Studios as he moves on to fresh creative challenges. What he’s not doing, though, is retiring from the industry altogether. Not that many people thought that was happening, but Gunn felt the need to clarify this…

Researchers have created a machine-learning system that efficiently predicts the future trajectories of multiple road users, like drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians, which could enable an autonomous vehicle to more safely navigate city streets. If a robot is going to navigate a vehicle safely through downtown Boston, it must be able to predict what nearby drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians are going to do next.
