Why Businesses Must Adapt to AI To Thrive in The Market?

Why Businesses Must Adapt to AI To Thrive in The Market?

It is a fact that Artificial Intelligence is no longer just a sci-fi hype anymore, but is in fact a major reality. The approached based on Artificial Intelligence like Natural Language Processing (NLP), Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning are slowly emerging to be highly realistic technologies within the industry.

Today we have a very efficient NLP engine system, which is as powerful as ML and deep learning algorithms available. In a recent article, published on WIRED we read about the perpetual death of code (i.e. programs and programming) and how we will soon be training in systems, just as the way we train our pets!

Machine Learning is the same as learning from examples and experiences just like in real life. It is all about digesting huge volumes of data. We see great new developments within the industry such as IBM and Memorial Sloan Kettering are training Watson in things like Oncology by making use of massive amounts of patient medical records throughout the world. Watson learns from knowing how doctors are treating patients with cancer around the globe, just as how a medical student learns but only on a much larger scale.

Another great example of machine learning is from Japan. The farmers here are cultivating crispy fresh cucumbers with several prickles on them. The straight and thick cucumbers with a vibrant colour and lots of prickles are known to be of premium grade quality. Each cucumber has a different colour, quality, shape and freshness. They are sorted into nine different classes based on their size, shape, texture, colour, the amount of small scratches and whether or not they are crooked, along with the most important part of the amount of prickles on them. However, there is not well-defined instruction set for the classification of cucumbers in Japan.

A farmer and agricultural scientist Makoto Koike has been studying this problem for several years now, and has been helping his farmer parents sort out cucumbers. But now with the use of Google’s TesorFlow based machine learning algorithm, he has been able to develop a system that learns from the precise way his parents have been sorting cucumbers in their farm. For achieving this, he had trained his system by using 7000 images of cucumbers that have been sorted by his mother, and at present the system classifies cucumbers with a much better rate of success and that too at a rapid speed.

Companies like Capgemeni have been making use of the technology of IBM’s Watson to improve efficiency and effectiveness in the resource supply chain.

It is predicted that the AI wave will definitely take the industry by storm and have a profound impact on almost all business and transform the present technology climate.

Moreover, we need to quickly turn our businesses into an AI-based approach along with implementation of Machine Learning, which will be supported by NLP and OCR (optical character recognition), speech recognition, and image recognition.

There are three trends in favour of the present technology service providers and their team of workers:

  1. The global expense on technology is increasing. So, technology enterprises will increase their size and market share by adapting to these new ways of working.
  2. The present availability of AI technology across the world is less than the amount that the world needs. So, the companies and individuals must pick up the pace to quickly expand their AI capabilities, and only then they will shine in the market. As for those interested in AI this is the best time to advance in their skills to become market leaders.
  3. The industry transformation has resulted in the marginalization of the CIO role in business and the expense into technology services by business buyers. This gives an edge to the business-oriented teams in play.

But reacting to this new demand for technology also needs AI and will bring newer challenges on board. The first being, change can only happen when the stakeholders of the company believe in the same. But sadly, many employees and managers do not believe in the capabilities of AI until they experience it on their own. It is for those who believe and develop their required skills and embrace the impending digital evolution that is destined to flourish.

However, secondly companies must address the problem of how to deal with the possible cannibalization of the existing revenues in order to adopt these new technologies. And finally, the lack of skill in the world of technology will make it even harder to build and expand AI capabilities.

Nevertheless, due to an industry boom, over the past 20 years a large percentage of the existing staff has skills that are almost obsolete and will not have new ones. Thus, this will bring an interesting future journey for the tech industry.

Will AI Replace The Intelligentsia? Google’s AI writes mournful poetry

Will AI Replace The Intelligentsia? Google’s AI writes mournful poetry

It is no new news that Artificial Intelligence can now control self driving cars; they can beat the best humans at highly challenging board games like chess, and even fight cancer. But still one thing it cannot do perfectly is communicate.

So, to help solve this problem Google has been feeding its Artificial Intelligence with more than 11,000 unpublished books, which include more than 3000 steamy romantic titles. And in response the AI has penned down its own version of mournful poems.

2

The poems read something like this:

I went o the store to buy some groceries.

I store to buy some groceries.

I were to buy any groceries.

Horses are to buy any groceries.

Horses are to buy any animal.

Horses the favourite any animal.

Horses the favourite favourite animal.

Horses are my favourite animal.

And here is another one from Google’s AI:

he said.

“no,” he said.

“no,” i said.

“i know,” she said.

“thank you,” she said.

“come with me,” she said.

“talk to me,” she said.

“don’t worry about it,” she said.

 

The way this happened was, Google’s team fed their AI with unpublished works into a neural network and gave the system two sentences from the book; it was then up to this ingenious artificial intelligence to build its own poetry based on available information.

In example above, the team of researchers gave their AI two sentences one about buying some groceries and the other one about horses being a favourite animal (these are the first and the last lines of the above mentioned passages). The team then directed the artificial intelligence to morph between the two sentences.

In the research paper the team further went on to explain the AI system was able to “create coherent and diverse sentences through purely continuous sampling”.

With the use of an autoanecdoter, which is a type of AI network that makes use of data sets to reproduce a result, in this case that was writing sentences, using much fewer steps the team was able to produce these sentences.

The main principle behind this research is to create an Artificial Intelligence which will be proficient in communicating via “natural language sentences”.

This research holds the possibilities of developing a system that is capable of communicating in a more human-like manner. Such a breakthrough is essential in the creation of more useful and responsive chat bots and Artificial Intelligence powered personal assistants like that of Siri and Google Now.

In a similar project, the researchers at Google have been teaching an AI how to understand language by replicating and predicting the work of bygone authors and poets under their project Gutenberg.

This standalone team at Google fed the AI with an input sentence and then asked it to predict what should come next. And by analysing the text, the AI was capable of identifying what author was likely to have written the sentence and was able to emulate his style.

In another incident, on June, 2015 another team of talented researchers at Google were able to create a chatbot that even threatened its creators. The AI learned the art of conversation by analysis of a million movie scripts thereby allowing it to realize and muse on the meaning of life, the colour of blood, and even on deeper subjects like mortality; Ss, much so that the bot could even get angry on its human inquisitor. When the bot was asked with a puzzling philosophical question about what is the meaning of life, it replied by saying – “to live forever”.

In other such similar works, Facebook has also been teaching its artificial intelligence with the use of children’s books. As per the New Scientist which is a social network, it has been using novels such as The Jungle Book, Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan.

If you are yearning for some more of AI’s written word, then here are the rest of Google AI’s poems.

You’re right.

“All right.

You’re right.

Okay, fine.

“Okay, fine.

Yes, right here.

No, not right now.

“No, not right now.

“Talk to me right now.

Please talk to me right now.

I’ll talk to you right now.

“I’ll talk to you right now.

“You need to talk to me now. —

 

Amazing, isn’t it?

So, what is it?

It hurts, isn’t it?

Why would you do that?

“You can do it.

“I can do it.

I can’t do it.

“I can do it.

“Don’t do it.

“I can do it.

I couldn’t do it. —

 

There is no one else in the world.

There is no one else in sight.

They were the only ones who mattered.

They were the only ones left.

He had to be with me.

She had to be with him.

I had to do this.

I wanted to kill him.

I started to cry.

I turned to him. —

 

I don’t like it, he said.

I waited for what had happened.

It was almost thirty years ago.

It was over thirty years ago.

That was six years ago.

He had died two years ago.

Ten, thirty years ago. — “it’s all right here.

“Everything is all right here.

“It’s all right here.

It’s all right here.

We are all right here.

Come here in five minutes.

“But you need to talk to me now.

Can Creative AI Predict The Future?

Can Creative AI Predict The Future?

Artificial Intelligence is reaching new heights, as the researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have come up with a program that can estimate the future. The machines can predict the possible events that may occur in a given scenario. The scientists have programmed the machines in such a manner that they can transform a still image into a video. However, the experiment is in its initial stage and researchers wish that it would just get better with time.

Predicting the future

According to the researchers at MIT, this computer can view an image and figure out what may happen next. To be able to do so, the data scientists have fed the computers with humungous amounts of images and videos. All the videos and images were similar in terms of category. For example, videos of sea waves and beaches of previous years were input into the machines. So, the next time, when the computer is shown an image of a sea beach, it automatically generated a video from the still, which replicated how waves are hitting the shore and people are playing in the water. Similar experiments were conducted using images of newborn babies, golf players, and train stations. And in each case, the computer produced videos resembling the expression of these babies, movement of the golf clubs and trains approaching towards the platforms, respectively.

Predicting the future

But how does this machine do it?

As soon as enormous amounts of data are fed into the machine, it starts learning just as humans can. In this experiment by MIT, computers became familiar with the happenings at a sea beach. Therefore, the next time it is shown the picture of a sea beach, the machine analysed the image and eventually, showed what happens there. However, the scientists say that these videos have certain limitations.

According to Carl Vondrick, a Ph.D. student at the MIT, “AI can be trained to produce output just like human beings. They can recall an event and more importantly, AI can predict the possible outcomes of the event based on past records.” Thus, the deep learning programs are able to spot the similarity in several events and make predictions according to the past results, which may not be accurate in many times. From another perspective, these AI generated videos are too short, as their duration does not exceed 1 second. Moreover, the videos seem like some animated movements created during the 90’s.

Despite such limitations, scientists are hopeful about the future of AI because this experiment was just the beginning and the results were better than what was estimated. Vondrick expressed his views on how AI can help us stop any negative incident from happening. He said, “A machine can study the movements of an old man, which may enable it to forecast whether the person has a chance of falling. In that case, adequate measures can be taken in order to prevent the accident.”

Progress of the AI

Progress of the AI

Apart from MIT, there are several companies including the search engine giant Google that are working on AI. At the Google Cultural Institute (GCI) in Paris, computers are programmed to create new images and art forms. The GCI has developed an application that helps users to search artworks from the dataset of several museums across the world. What is fascinating is that algorithms solely administer the entire app. It can search the dataset of almost 7 million images and artworks and provide search results that match the search criteria. The most important feature of the program is that the application can figure out the difference between the emotions embedded in different pictures.  It can differentiate a peaceful picture from the rest by analysing its content. In addition, this program, also known as the ‘Deep Dream Project’ can create artworks on its own, which adds to the creativity of AI. Google is also working on the ‘Magenta Project’, which has recently created a piano melody on its own. The duration of the melody is 90-seconds and it is the first tangible music sample ever produced by AI.

Therefore, we can find that AI is enabling the computers to make judgements based on their intuition and at the same time, they are developing a sense of creativity. Days are not far when human beings will depend on AI to make their next move.

Python Vs R- Which You Want To Learn First

Python Vs R- Which You Want To Learn First

If Big Data interests you as a career choice and you are pretty much aware of the skills you need in order to be proficient in this field, in all likelihood you must be aware that R and Python are two leading languages used for analyzing data. And in case you are not really sure as to learn which of the mentioned articles first, this post will help you in making that decision.

2

In the field of analysis of data, R and Python both are free solutions that are easy to install and get started with. And it is normal for the layman to wonder which to learn first. But you may thank the heavens as both are excellent choices.

Let’s Make Visualizations Better In Python with Matplotlib – @Dexlabanalytics.

A recent poll on the most widely used programming languages for analytics and data science reveal the following:

Python Vs R- Which You Want To Learn First

 

Reasons to Choose R

R has an illustrious history that stretches for a considerable period of time. In addition you receive support from an active, dedicated and thriving community. That translates to the fact that you are more likely to be helped in case you are in need of some assistance or have any queries to resolve. In addition another factor that works in the favor of R is the abundance of packages that contribute greatly to increasing its functionality and make it more accessible which put R as one of the front runners to being the data science tool of choice. R works well with computer languages like Java, C and C++.

How to Parse Data with Python – @Dexlabanalytics.

In situations that call for heavy tasks in statistical analysis as well as creating graphics R programming is the tool that you want to turn to. In R, you are able to perform convoluted mathematical operations with surprising ease like matrix multiplication. And the array-centered syntax of the language make the process of translating the math into lines of code far easier which especially true of persons with little or no coding knowledge and experience.

Reasons to Opt for Python

In contrast to the specialized nature of R, Python is a programming language that serves general purposes and is able to perform a variety of tasks like munging data, engineering and wrangling data, building web applications and scraping websites amongst others. It is also the easier one to master among the two especially if you have learned an OOP or object-oriented programming language previously. In addition the Code written in Python is scalable and may be maintained with more robust code than it is possible in case of R.

The Choice Between SAS Vs. R Vs. Python: Which to Learn First? – @Dexlabanalytics.

Though the data packages available are not as large and comprehensive as R, Python when used in conjunction with tools like Numpy, Pandas, Scikit etc it comes pretty close to the comprehensive functionality of R. Python is also being adopted for tasks like statistical work of intermediate and basic complexity as well as machine learning.
