Physical activity is essential to both physical and mental health, something brought home to many people following sedentary pandemic lockdowns. Even without the lockdowns, many parts of the world have been facing an obesity epidemic, which has created a need to help people manage their weight. For such people there are a wealth of fitness […]
As businesses grapple with increasing amounts of data and search for ways to use it effectively, they’re turning more and more to machine learning and deep learning. Both models use statistics to make predictions, but there are differences. Machine learning employs algorithms to identify patterns and make predictions. When the algorithmic model makes a wrong […]
Orbiting at a speed that matches the rotation of the Earth, satellites in geostationary orbit occupy unique positions and provide invaluable services. Effectively fixed in place over points on the equator 35,786 kilometers below, they provide communication and broadcasting services, constant weather observation, and calibration for navigation constellations. These satellites are huge and vastly expensive—typically […]
Today’s boom in AI is centered around a technique called deep learning, which is powered by artificial neural networks. Here’s a graphical explanation of how these neural networks are structured and trained. ARCHITECTURE Each neuron in an artificial neural network sums its inputs and applies an activation function to determine its output. This architecture was […]
This summer, the artificial intelligence company OpenAI released Codex, a new system that automatically writes software code using only simple prompts written in plain language. Codex is based on GPT-3, a revolutionary deep learning platform that OpenAI trained on nearly all publicly available written text on the Internet through 2019. As an early Beta tester, […]
