Artificial Intelligence Revolution : A Chip with 5 Senses

Artificial Intelligence Revolution : A Chip with 5 Senses

Have you ever wished that your phone talks like an actual person? Imagine, if your computer could interact with you in such a way that it conveyed logic as well as emotions? If, when taking a selfie, your phone told you that those shoes DO NOT go with that outfit? Incredible, isn’t it? Well then, this dream-like fantasy is about to become a reality. Because the latest revolution in this area of technology is a stepping stone to just that. 
Experts have managed to develop a chip that is capable of detecting the five senses, similar to how a human brain can. This contraption is remarkably identical to the human brain, being capable of sensing what is around it by sight, sound, smell, touch, and even taste. What’s even more exceptional is the fact that similar to a human brain, the power consumption of this chip is ultra low, which makes integrating it into everyday hardware very easy. Even though it is still in its early stages of development, the potential of this tech exceeds all previously known advancements.
Simply put, it can see, hear, feel and even smell and taste. Apparently, the technical intricacies behind such a feat are obscure and rather complicated, the implications and repercussions of this are colossal.

Simply put, this technology helps to bridge the gap between human brain and computers, which in effect means that computers become more aware of how we, the living users perceive the world. This is an enormous leap in technology. How does this help us, you ask? Simple. Just like we told you when we started, this enables the machine to behave more human. This helps you to have a phone which, in addition to being able to perform all its previous functions, is now also equipped to approach and analyze a problem to solve it in such a way that it also accommodates human needs and wants too. This means that your phone can sense and can be programmed to remember your preferences and act or respond accordingly. 

Uses of this include not just daily life, but also fields like Medicine, Engineering, Military, Communication, pretty much anything and everything you can think about. A robot which can take real-time decisions during a procedure, a system which checks for errors during work, a drone that is genuinely unmanned- which doesn’t need a human controller in any form, the possibilities are endless. These are just the large scale and professional applications. Let’s talk about how this affects you, up close and personal. 

Coming to all our daily lives, this just means that systems that we use every day become a lot more intelligent and perceptive our needs. Like a phone that calls the doctor when it detects that the user is sick. Or a computer that helps you choose when you shop online. An oven that can identify what’s cooking and modify its settings accordingly. A coffee maker who knows how you like your coffee. Hell, a house that has your own personal JARVIS! Sounds inconceivable, doesn’t it? Well, not really. Since the essential requirement for this use case has already been achieved.

Well, it looks like our dream is a lot closer to reality now. We are closer to having our own personal artificial butler. A system that can sense and perceive as our brain does is undoubtedly the beginning. The beginning of a new era. And we have a front row seat to the grand coronation of this. So sit back, relax and wait for the show. Or better yet, be a part of this technological revolution.

Let's Understand Ten Machine Learning Algorithms

Ten Machine Learning Algorithms to Learn Machine Learning Practitioners have different personalities. While some of them are “I am an expert in X and X can train on any type of data”, where X = some algorithm, some others are “Right tool for the right job people”. A lot of them also subscribe to “Jack of all trades. Master of one” strategy, where they have one area of deep expertise and know slightly about different fields of Machine Learning. That said, no one can deny the fact that as practicing Data Scientists, we will have to know basics of some common machine learning algorithms, which would help us engage with a new-domain problem we come across. This is a whirlwind tour of common machine learning algorithms and quick resources about them which can help you get started on them. 1. Principal Component Analysis(PCA)/SVD PCA is an unsupervised method to understand global properties of a dataset consisting of vectors. Covariance Matrix of data points is analyzed here to un...

gRPC with Java : Build Fast & Scalable Modern API & Microservices using Protocol Buffers

gRPC Java Master Class : Build Fast & Scalable Modern API for your Microservice using gRPC Protocol Buffers gRPC is a revolutionary and modern way to define and write APIs for your microservices. The days of REST, JSON and Swagger are over! Now writing an API is easy, simple, fast and efficient. gRPC is created by Google and Square, is an official CNCF project (like Docker and Kubernetes) and is now used by the biggest tech companies such as Netflix, CoreOS, CockRoachDB, and so on! gRPC is very popular and has over 15,000 stars on GitHub (2 times what Kafka has!). I am convinced that gRPC is the FUTURE for writing API for microservices so I want to give you a chance to learn about it TODAY. Amongst the advantage of gRPC: 1) All your APIs and messages are simply defined using Protocol Buffers 2) All your server and client code for any programming language gets generated automatically for free! Saves you hours of programming 3) Data is compact and serialised 4) API ...

What is Big Data ?

What is Big Data ? It is now time to answer an important question – What is Big Data? Big data, as defined by Wikipedia, is this: “Big data is a broad term for  data sets  so large or complex that traditional  data processing  applications are inadequate. Challenges include  analysis , capture,  data curation , search,  sharing ,  storage , transfer ,  visualization ,  querying  and  information privacy . The term often refers simply to the use of  predictive analytics  or certain other advanced methods to extract value from data, and seldom to a particular size of data set.” In simple terms, Big Data is data that has the 3 characteristics that we mentioned in the last section – • It is big – typically in terabytes or even petabytes • It is varied – it could be a traditional database, it could be video data, log data, text data or even voice data • It keeps increasing as new data keeps flowing in This kin...
