Russian President Vladimir Putin says that whoever reaches a breakthrough in developing artificial intelligence will come to dominate the world.
A new algorithm has outperformed professional human lip readers.
Max Tegmark is a renowned physicist. He is also the irrepressibly optimistic co-founder of the Future of Life Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts (motto: "Technology is giving life the potential to flourish like never before ... or to self-destruct. Let's make a difference!").
Researchers from the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University have shown that neural networks can accurately analyze complex distortions in spacetime 10 million times faster than traditional methods.
A project led by Lehigh University will advance machine learning by merging statistical, computer science, and applied mathematical techniques.
Researchers have demonstrated that neural networks can accurately analyze gravitational lenses 10 million times faster than traditional methods.
Before autonomous trucks and taxis hit the road, manufacturers will need to solve problems far more complex than collision avoidance and navigation (see "10 Breakthrough Technologies 2017: Self-Driving Trucks").
Engineers at MIT have designed an autonomous robot with "socially aware navigation," that can keep pace with foot traffic while observing the general codes of pedestrian conduct.
Researchers have developed a deep-learning algorithm that automatically recognizes formations of teams when analyzing player tracking data.
