Genealogy company MyHeritage is putting deepfake technology to a creatively unsettling use with a new feature called Deep Nostalgia. The system animates photographs of long-deceased loved ones, turning old still portraits into uncanny blinking and smil… Continue reading Deepfake tech used to bring dead relatives back to life
Artificial intelligence is starting to combine with smartphone technology in ways that could have profound impacts on the way we monitor health, from tracking blood volume changes in diabetics to detecting concussions by filming the eyes. Using the tec… Continue reading AI uses “ugly duckling” technique to spot melanoma with high accuracy
Nearly three years after it was first launched, Amazon Web Services’ SageMaker platform has gotten a significant upgrade in the form of new features making it easier for developers to automate and scale each step of the process to build new automation and machine learning capabilities, the company said. As machine learning moves into the […] Continue reading AWS expands on SageMaker capabilities with end-to-end features for machine learning
There are millions of IoT devices out there in the wild and though not conventional computers, they can be hacked by alternative methods. From firmware hacks to social engineering, there are tons of ways to break into these little devices. Now, researchers at University of Maryland have published a new …read more
Grid AI, a startup founded by the inventor of the popular open-source PyTorch Lightning project, William Falcon, that aims to help machine learning engineers more efficiently, today announced that it has raised an $18.6 million Series A funding round, which closed earlier this summer. The round was led by Index Ventures, with participation from Bain […] Continue reading Grid AI raises $18.6M Series A to help AI researchers and engineers bring their models to production
Process automation startup Hypatos has raised a €10 million (~$11.8M) seed round of funding from investors including Blackfin Tech, Grazia Equity, UVC Partners and Plug & Play Ventures. The Germany- and Poland-based company was spun out of AI for accounting startup, Smacc, at the back end of 2018 to apply deep learning tech to power […] Continue reading Hypatos gets $11.8M for a deep learning approach to document processing
You’re familiar with the phrase, “A picture is worth 1,000 words.” Well, Microsoft and Intel are applying this philosophy to malware detection—using deep learning and a neural network to turn malware into images for analysis at scale. Project STAMINA—a… Continue reading Project STAMINA Uses Deep Learning for Innovative Malware Detection
A new algorithm has been developed to detect coronary artery disease solely from patient facial photos. The proof-of-concept, published in the European Heart Journal, needs more refinement before it becomes a useful clinical tool but independent expert… Continue reading Potential for “selfies” to detect heart disease raises ethical concerns
Capturing the complexities of the human hand is a difficult task – just ask any artist or animator. Now, engineers at Cornell University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison have developed a new wearable system that uses thermal sensors to accuratel… Continue reading Thermal camera bracelet reads your wrist to track your fingers
Lifeguards do play a vital role in the prevention of drownings, but at large busy beaches, they can’t always keep track of all the swimmers at all times. That’s where Sightbit is designed to come in, as it uses artificial intelligence to catch what lif… Continue reading AI system designed to aid – or perhaps replace – human lifeguards
