IBM’s Project Debater performed live in public debates with humans and it was really impressive. In a debate, it actually convinced 20% people to change their minds in favor of it. The AI works on unscripted reasoning and can argue both sides...
Nvidia develops a new deep learning-based technique that converts a standard video to superior-quality slow-motion video. It’s a variable-length multi-frame interpolation technique for generating any number of intermediate frames. In video...
Researchers develop a high-capacity integrated circuit that efficiently operates in the terahertz frequency band. It minimizes the leakage of unnecessary signal between ports of integrated circuits and enhances signal-to-noise ratio. Terahertz...
Intel Optane DC persistent memory optimizes the workloads by placing a large volume of data closer to the processor. It leverages 3D Xpoint and offers DIMMs in sizes of 128, 256 and 512 gigabytes. According to the IBM report (2017), 90% of the...
Researchers build a Deep convolutional neural network that can map every building in the US, using satellite imagery. To do this, they combined signed-distance labels with SegNet (a deep learning network). The system processes an area of 56...
Developers have built an image captioning AI [Norman] and trained it on extremely violent content from reddit. As a result, Norman only observes death in whatever pictures it looks at. This kind of research is important to show how data behind...
Researchers develop a fully-convolutional deep network to extrapolate view beyond two input images. They used a layered representation to show hidden surfaces of input images and predict output views. The system can handle both indoor and outdoor...
The new 3D printed corneas will bring down the need of cornea donors. Using this technique, the entire cornea can be printed within 10 minutes. However, it will take several years before doctors could successfully replace it with an actual cornea...
Researchers trained a convolutional neural network to detect skin cancer. It outperformed an international group of experienced dermatologists. The AI won’t take over doctors, but it could serve them as an aid to make more accurate decisions...
For the first time, nuclear physicists simulated an atomic nucleus on a quantum computer. They developed the code to execute simulation on Rigetti 19Q and IBM QX5 quantum processors. The results could open a new door for quantum computation of...
Using a scanning electron microscope, scientists construct the world’s smallest microhouse. It’s nearly 20 micrometers long, built on a cleaved optical fiber. The experiment was a fun way to demonstrate the accuracy and flexibility of...
The Facebook AI research team builds a universal music translation network. It replicates the audio it hears and plays it back in various styles, genres and instruments. It can process unheard musical sources, like claps or whistles, and produce...
