Top 10 Tech Trends: Advanced Machine Learning - IT Products & Solutions As 2015 draws to a close, tech experts are looking to the future - and high on the list of talking points are Gartner's Top 10 Tech Trends for 2016. But what are these innovations all about? How will they impact us and are they as important as they're cracked up to be?

Why Enrollment Is Surging in Machine Learning Classes Machine learning is sweeping through industries, transforming scientific research and already changing aspects of everyday life, making the impossible possible. No wonder university students are flocking to it. Enrollment in machine learning classes is soaring, and universities are scrambling to add classes to meet an unprecedented demand. Comprehensive figures aren't available for U.S.

Hadoop, Spark, Deep Learning Mesh on Single GPU Cluster When it comes to leveraging existing Hadoop infrastructure to extend what is possible with large volumes of data and various applications, Yahoo is in a unique position-it has the data and just as important, it has the long history with Hadoop, MapReduce and other key tools in the open source big data stack close at hand and manned with seasoned experts.

Penn Study: Machine Learning at Arraignments Can Cut Repeat Domestic Violence In one large metropolitan area, arraignment decisions made with the assistance of machine learning cut new domestic violence incidents by half, leading to more than 1,000 fewer such post-arraignment arrests annually, according to new findings from the University of Pennsylvania.

Stanford researchers use dark of night and machine learning to shed light on global poverty An interdisciplinary team of Stanford scientists is identifying global poverty zones by comparing daytime and nighttime satellite images in a novel way. Marshall Burke One of the biggest challenges in fighting poverty is the lack of reliable information.

Through Machine Learning, IBM Braintrust Sees Better Days Ahead Analysts may see a worrisome slow down in IT spending, but IBM executives, speaking at the company's annual shareholder's meeting on Thursday, see brighter days ahead-especially for the company's "cognitive" computing group. Cognitive computing, or machine learning, as exemplified at IBM by Watson, is technology that learns as it goes, specifically by ingesting and crunching lots of data.

Zenedge introduces machine learning cyber security solution Zenedge, cloud-based cyber security solutions provider, has introduced a Web application firewall that leverages artificial intelligence to update security postures to protect Web applications from vulnerabilities. According to the company, leveraging Zenedge's patent-pending mathematical model based on proprietary machine learning algorithms and big data analysis, Zenedge AI inspects Web traffic in real-time, identifies threats and behaviour anomalies, and updates security postures.

Google's robot brain can tell where pictures were taken just by looking at them - no metadata required - GeekWire Guessing where a photo was taken can be a fun game. In fact, it is a game. But computers have historically had it easy, with the ability to quickly examine the metadata and place a picture on a map. A new machine learning program from Google, however, can place pictures that don't have metadata and use machine learning instead.
