Beginning of the Future

Photo by  Clint Adair  on  Unsplash "From a computer vision point of view, there's no doubt that deep convolutional neural networks are today's "master algorithm" for dealing with perceptual data."   - Tomasz Malisiewicz Nowadays, we all must have seen and used various effects and filters on images and how our computers and smartphones detect and recognize faces in photographs and videos. These all things are possible by "computer vision" which is nothing but machine learning using convolutional neural networks. Computer vision is similar to human vision, it helps the system to recognize, classify, detect complex features in data. Some of its applications can be seen in self-driving cars, vision for robots, facial recognition. But this computer vision is not completely the same as our human vision, unlike us the computer sees the image in the form of a matrix of pixels. An image is made up of pixels. And each pixel value can take a value from 0 to ...

Robot by Lukas     Is this the ending or the beginning? Robots are the future and they will replace and recreate anything that comes in their way. As the world continues to evolve, so do the ways robots interact with the world. It does feel like a nice idea if our robot could help us in the day-to-day activities while at the same time adapt to different surroundings. The present world does have some robots which can perform chores but I want you to envision a robot that would respond to your commands and help you in multiple chores without complaining. To help us out in such a way robots must perceive their surroundings as we humans do. A clear mental image of the environment around them is a necessity for the robots to perceive the world as it is. The particular function of perceiving their surroundings is particularly a hard one for robots where the pixels have to be transformed into a real-life understanding of the world. What has been proposed? A new model called- 3D Dyna...

Holoportl is a booth-sized machine that will beam the life-sized hologram in real-time allowing the users to interact with anyone anywhere in the world. This machine also allows the user to interact with recorded holograms of historical figures or deceased relatives (using StoryFile to collaborate on the historical figures, animations, etc. for the machine)! Features and Technology  ( Image Source )  Holoportl Machine Holoportl is 7 feet tall, 5 feet wide and 2 feet deep AI-powered device which will give the person being projected, “a unique ability to see, hear, and fully interact with their global audiences in...

(Photo by Gertrūda Valasevičiūtė on Unsplash ) ML is extracting data from knowledge. Machine learning is a study of algorithms that uses a provides computers the ability to learn from the data and predict outcomes with accuracy, without being explicitly programmed. Machine learning is sub-branched into three categories- supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning. (Image by Author) Machine Learning Model Supervised learning As the name "supervised learning" suggests, here learning is based through example. We have a known set of inputs (called features, x) and outputs (called labels, y ). The goal of the algorithm is to train the model on the given data and predict the correct value (y) for an unknown input (x). Supervised learning can be further classified into two categories- classification and regression. Classification and regression are two basic concepts in supervised learning. However, understanding the difference between the two can be co...

Tetris Game The ever-growing power of artificial intelligence never stops to amaze us. Now, it sets a mind-blowing world record. Australian coder Code Bullet created an artificial intelligence program that beat the current world record for the longest Tetris game of 4,988 lines which is currently held by gamer Harry Hong. Even the whole Tetris game was programmed by the coder. It seems impressive to see how he builds everything from scratch and breaks the world record! What is A.I. Tetris? Tetris is a tile-matching video game where the goal is to destroy the lines of tiles (or blocks) strategically to prevent them to stack to the top of the screen. Human intelligence supported with artificial intelligence showed some marvelous results for Tetris. The video uploaded by Bullet shows A.I. has cleared about 14,000 lines of the blocks in the game of Tetris. He also mentions in the video that the A.I.-powered game can go up to infinite lines.  "Playing 'Tetris' for 15 minutes i...

Roomality is a realistic, 3D system that lets users experience a real-world environment at their home or office window.  Roomality is a breakthrough in the field of virtual reality, it gives a mesmerizing feel of “virtually real world” to the user, a ll without the need of a headset, goggles or glasses! What is Roomality? Roomality (Ireland based start-up)  is an AI-based system, that simply can be can be called as “virtual windows”. This tool projects an immersive 3D scene onto a user’s surrounding with objects and distances being rendered in real-time. Users can customize there surrounding according to there mood and need, can explore the world and this system can even teleport you to the surface of the moon! What is Technology Behind Roomality? The system tracks the user’s eye movements with...
