AI & Home

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

Microsoft Research displayed some latest AI software developed by them. The focus was on AI @ home; the software displayed used different kinds of machine learning techniques, where computer software is able to learn how to carry out tasks that are useful to people without having to be programmed to perform that exact task.

DARPA pushing machine learning into electronic warfare

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

Behavioral Learning for Adaptive Electronic Warfare (BLADE) program under DARPA is  developing algorithms and techniques to enable U.S. electronic warfare systems to learn to jam new RF threats automatically in the field, instead of waiting for technicians in laboratories to characterize new communications threats and develop countermeasures. This is a clear sign of advancing intelligent technology in electronic warfare.

Watson! Dear Watson!

Monday, June 21st, 2010

For the last few years, IBM scientists have been developing the most advanced “question answering” machine, able to understand a question posed by the user, and is expected to respond with a precise answer. In other words, it must do more than what search engines like Google and Bing do, which is merely point to a set of results where you might find the answer. But Watson has to give the correct answer itself. Lets look at Watson in a trivia challenge:
