Startup uses machine learning to test for dementia Recently I wrote about a new service being offered by tech giant IBM to utilize machine learning in the field of radiology. The service, called Avicenna, hopes to identify anatomical features and abnormalities in medical images, and by taking this analysis and cross-referencing it with the patient's medical record provide support for a successful diagnosis.

Instagram May Change Your Feed, Personalizing It With an Algorithm At the time, it was a revolutionary idea. "Feeds are a powerful way for users to navigate the web and get to the information they need," Fred Wilson, a venture capitalist and early investor in Twitter, wrote in a personal blog post in 2008.

Machine-Learning Algorithm Identifies Tweets Sent Under the Influence of Alcohol Sending your ex-partner a teary-eyed tweet at 1 a.m. after a bottle of chardonnay isn't necessarily the best of way of achieving reconciliation. We all know that alcohol and tweeting is not always a good combination. Yet a surprising number of us indulge in this peculiar form of indiscretion.

The Internet Of Things And Machine Learning IDC says the Internet of Things (IoT) market will be $1.7 trillion by 2020. Moor Insights & Strategy (MI&S) believes Machine learning will drive a portion of this revenue. Machine learning is the ability of a machine to vary the outcome of a situation or behavior based on knowledge or observation--essential for IoT solutions.
