The technology would soon be redefining the way people commute, not only around the world but between and in cities as well. Driverless technology is not only being applied to personal vehicles, but also to commercial transportation. Driverless trucks are the natural evolution of driverless cars. They will cut down on costs, increase efficiency, and generally shake up the shipping industry. Let’s look at how artificial intelligence technology is changing the outlook of the freight industry. Drivers However, at the moment, “driverless trucks” will be a misnomer ... Read More

Feed: Big Data Made Simple - One source. Many perspectives.. Author: Baiju NT. Machine Learning is usually associated with artificial intelligence (AI) that provides computers with the ability to do certain tasks, such as recognition, diagnosis, planning, robot control, prediction, etc., without being explicitly programmed. It focuses on the development of algorithms that can teach themselves to grow and change when exposed to new data. In a way, the process of Machine Learning is similar to that of Data Mining. Both search through data to look for patterns. However, instead of extracting data for human comprehension — as is the ... Read More

Data science and machine learning are powerful technologies innovating the world in ways that sometimes seem straight out of a sci-fi film. Today’s machines are not just capable of tedious tasks, but also using complex mathematics to figure out how to chart a path for a rocket to follow or making weather predictions based on historical data. What better platform to explore the magic of data science and machine learning than film? We’ve rounded up 10 of the best data movies: Ex Machina: The title comes from ... Read More

You can handpick the mangoes, the vendor will weigh them, and you pay according to a fixed Rs per Kg rate (typical story in India). Obviously, you want to pick the sweetest, most ripe mangoes for yourself (since you are paying by weight and not by quality). How do you choose the mangoes? You remember your grandmother saying that bright yellow mangoes are sweeter than pale yellow ... Read More

Electronic shopping was introduced back in 1979 when English inventor Michael Aldrich connected a modified TV to a transaction-processing computer via telephone line and opened the information systems for secure data transmission. This technology became the foundation on which the eCommerce as we know it was built. Today, eCommerce is used on a daily basis and living without it seems just complicated and inconvenient. The new technologies and innovations are continuously changing and exponentially improving the user experience and safety which, on the other hand, results in ... Read More

Experts from different industries study its capabilities and discover new ways of its application. We call AI an emerging technology, however, scientists have been working in this direction since the 1950s. At first, AI was far from smart robots we see in sci-fi movies. Nevertheless, thanks to such technologies as machine learning and deep learning, AI became one of the most promising areas of the IT industry. The demand for AI developers constantly grows, ...

It’s rare that one technology has the power to improve an entire industry, but machine learning is doing just that for scientists. Regardless of the specific subjects they study, machine learning allows them to make discoveries faster than they otherwise could. As such, it’s possible to make rapid progress that could benefit society at large in ways not even imagined yet. Speeding up Clustering and Ranking of Huge Amounts of Data Scientists often process data through means called clustering and ranking. Clustering involves focusing on things sharing ... Read More
