Futuristic AI Connects Links in Past

(Image Source: CSAIL MIT) MosAIc “Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” -Thomas Merton For some, art is a way of communication and for others, art is a deep mystery. A painting is just not just a surface with paint but it also represents the culture and history captured within it. Many times even for researchers it is not possible to figure out the connection between two completely different forms of art or paintings that might exist from different periods and space. What is MosAIc? To find the most unexpected and obscure relation between parallel artworks at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met) and Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and Microsoft developers have created an artificial intelligence algorithm named as “MosAIc” system. This system will point out the similarities between art forms through different cultures and styles. Researchers were inspired by the uncanny resemblance betwe...

Want to Make Sense of Hieroglyphs? Try out Google’s Fabricius

(Imagesource) Have you ever imagined how people at the time of ancient Egypt used to communicate with each other? They simply used drawings, signs and symbols as the form of written communication famously known as “Egyptian Hieroglyphs” one of the oldest forms of writing! Not everyone could write these hieroglyphs only scribes (writers, sons of wealthy Egyptians) were trained to do so. Even after 5000 years, this languages remains a mystery for those who haven’t studied it. To solve this conundrum Google has launched an AI based tool Fabricius , that will not only help decipher ancient hieroglyphs but it will also help people to make sense and learn about the ancient Egypt’s language. To celebrate 221 st anniversary (July 15 th , 2020) of Rosetta stone (a slab of stone from 196BC, has message carved into it in three different types of script that h elped scholars to crack the code of hieroglyphs) Google has launched its latest AI powered tool Fabricius, here you can “...
