On rethinking how audio is captured, represented and retrieved in this new world of AI Ishwarya Ananthabotla completed her BS and MS in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT. She is pursuing a PhD in the MIT Media Lab’s Responsive Environments group, exploring ways to capitalize on our knowledge of human perception, cognition, memory, and attention, to re-think traditional paradigms for audio capture,
Well the short answer is “Yes”, longer answer is “not right now but in a few years”. I know that is very provocative and most people would disagree, especially radiologists. Stanford researchers have been able to create machine learning models and algorithms that can detect brain aneurysms much more effectively than a radiologist. What is a brain aneurysm? Brain aneurysm is a bulge in
“A.I. could play a big role in supporting prevention, diagnosis, treatment plans, medication management, precision medicine and drug creation” __Bruce Liang, Chief Information Officer of Singapore’s Ministry of Health In software development, versioning is one of the key tenets of good programming. One can go back in history using a version control system such as git, svn, cvs etc to troubleshoot bugs, reverse deployment.
“If the whole truth is told, oral tradition stands out as the single most dominant communicative technology of our species as both a historical fact and, in many areas still, a contemporary reality.” __John Foley, Signs of Orality Johannes Gutenberg ushered in the era of printing press and movable type around the year 1439. Thanks to him I’m able to write this blog but
“Alexa and Google Duplex are not perfect but so are humans, only difference is, Alexa and Duplex are making great strides forward” During the years 2008-11 I had worked at a healthcare IT company that used Automated Speech Recognition (ASR), Speech-to-Text (STT) and Text-to-Speech (TTS) software to automate collecting insurance information from members on behalf of health insurance companies in the US e.g. Blue
In the beginning there was FORTRAN one of the first widely spread high-level programming language. Then came Algol, PL/1, Pascal, COBOL, BASIC, C, Lisp and others and then came javascript, Python, PHP, Perl, Ruby and the more widely adopted object oriented programming languages C++ and Java. It took nearly 50 years to go from FORTRAN to Java. In contrast, AI research has been in
“To self-drive or not to self-drive is not the question” __Madhav SBSS Sensors play a key role in self-driving cars. Radars are widely used as they are good in different weather and lighting conditions and they are cheap. Lidars are high density sensors but are not cheap and are not good in poor lighting and weather conditions. Cameras are cheap, high density but don’t
“To drive better than humans, autonomous vehicles must first see better than humans.” __Nvidia How does the technology we briefly reviewed in part 1 of this blog actually work to make self-driving possible? before jumping into how the tech comes together, we should understand the leveling up to become fully autonomous – Levels of autonomy Different cars are capable of different levels of self-driving,
