Machine Learning News Issue 7

Welcome to the Momenta Learning News on Machine Learning. This is issue 7, please feel free to share this post.

Understanding Watson: A Closer Look At IBM's Analytics Powerhouse

A week ago, Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) research subsidiary DeepMind reported that their latest work in artificial intelligence (AI) was able to beat the infamously complex game of Go. This caused me to write an article that explained what was going on and in which I tried to size up the AI landscape.

A new MIT computer chip could allow your smartphone to do complex AI tasks

Yesterday, a team of researchers from MIT introduced a new computer chip optimized for deep-learning, an approach to artificial intelligence that is gaining popularity. The chip, dubbed "Eyeriss" could allow mobile devices to perform tasks like natural language processing and facial recognition without being connected to the internet.

The Impact of Machine Learning on IT Departments - CTOvision.com

In much the same way businesses have been eager to use big data analytics to improve their operations, many companies have paid a lot of interest to the growing field of machine learning. Unlike some other tech trends that have come and gone, machine learning appears to be more than just some fad.

Bittersweet Mysteries of Machine Learning (A Provocation)

Frank Pasquale, professor of law at the University of Maryland, reflects on the roles of machines and machine learning in today's society, and to what extent 'opaque' algorithmic systems should be subject to human oversight. In the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, the mission-controlling computer HAL acts mysteriously, and ultimately malevolently.

Better Brain Imaging Could Show Computers a Smarter Way to Learn

Using cutting-edge imaging to study the inner workings of our brains could lead to more powerful and useful machine-learning algorithms. Machine learning is an extremely clever approach to computer programming. Instead of a having to carefully write out instructions for a particular task, you just feed millions of examples into a very powerful computer and, essentially, let it write the program itself.

What's Next, As Google's Head Of Search Leaves & Its Machine Learning Chief Takes Over?

After 15 years, the head of Google Search - Amit Singhal - has announced he's leaving Google. In his place, John Giannandrea, who has headed Google's artificial intelligence and machine learning efforts, is taking over. Good, bad or no change for Google? The end of humans shaping search results?

Will AI-Powered Hedge Funds Outsmart the Market?

Every day computers make many millions of electronic trades by performing delicate calculations aimed at eking out a tiny edge in terms of speed or efficiency. Increasingly, however, more significant trading decisions are being made by smarter, more autonomous algorithms. Both established trading firms and a handful of startups are exploring whether such trading techniques, borrowed from the field of artificial intelligence, could help them outfox other traders.

What's Next In Computer Science

These Questions originally appeared on Quora - the knowledge sharing network where compelling questions are answered by people with unique insights. Answers by Pedro Domingos, Professor at the University of Washington and author of The Master Algorithm, on Quora. Q: What do you think of the machine learning research that is happening in industry vs.

New HPE software to tackle risk in highly-regulated industries

During the LegalTech Conference, Hewlett Packard Enterprise announced a new piece of software built to help businesses in highly-regulated industries tackle high-stakes compliance risk. The HPE Investigative Analytics software is designed to help organisations not only detect risk events and fraudulent behaviour, but to prevent them, as well, through 'breakthrough machine-learning and archiving software', as the company describes it.

The Machine Learning Revolution: How it Works and its Impact on SEO

Machine learning is becoming more and more prevalent in the SEO industry, driving algorithms on many major platforms. In this post, Eric Enge reveals his discoveries, insights, and predictions from his research on machine learning, discusses its influence on SEO, and introduces a machine learning tool he built to predict the chances of a retweet.
