$100K Machine Learning Challenge 100K Machine Learning Challenge In partnership with Udacity, Chinese ridesharing company Didi Chuxing has announced a global machine learning competition to come up with a better ride matching algorithm using Didi's published data sets. The grand prize winner not only gets $100,000 and worldwide acclaim, and also a chance to work at the Didi Research Lab in China or Silicon Valley.

Machine-learning radars may be coming to automotive IMEC is already working with automotive radar market leader Infineon Technologies AG at 79GHz in 28nm CMOS (see Infineon, IMEC collaborate on 79GHz CMOS radar). Now it wants to go to a yet smaller wavelength and add machine learning to the back end of its sensors said Wim van Thillo, program director for perceptive systems at IMEC, speaking at the IMEC Technology Forum.

The problem with analytics There is a difference between knowledge and understanding. Knowledge typically comes down to knowing facts while understanding is the application of knowledge to the mastery of systems. You can know a lot while understanding very little.

Could Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning be Apple's BlackBerry moment? Unlike Google, Facebook, and Amazon, Apple appears to be sitting out the massive data suck revolution. So, doomed?

What is Machine Learning? Machine learning refers to the process by which computers develop pattern recognition, or the ability to continuously learn from and make predictions based on data, then make adjustments without being specifically programmed to do so. A form of artificial intelligence, machine learning effectively automates the process of analytical model building and allows machines to adapt to new scenarios independently.
