Kinect and machine learning

Monday, November 15th, 2010

The new Kinect from Microsoft has moved gaming systems to its next phase. Kinect is equipped with three key technologies which make it stand apart:

  • Motion Sensing Technology
  • Voice Recognition Technology
  • Machine Learning Technology

The biggest feature is the ability to track a person in real time without having them wear sensors and somewhat of a holy grail in Artificial Intelligence, was devised in their research lab in the U.K. The machine learning technology enhances the game system’s ability to track people of different shapes and sizes and even distinguish one part of their body from another. The combinational offering has taken gaming to a new dimension, we should wait and watch what is next from the kinect team from Microsoft, 3D Gaming or become a part of the game virtually.

Google’s new tools for display ads with a touch of machine learning

Sunday, October 17th, 2010

Machine Learning at its best, with Google using machine learning technology in the new ad optimization and targeting tools is a huge step for the company towards its true automated ad solutions offering goals.

The Display Campaign Optimizer and Contextual Targeting Tool are the two new tools. They help advertisers reach performance goals and simplify the overall buy and sell system. Display Campaign Optimizer manages targeted bids to generate more conversions such as sales or leads by finding the correct sites which improve performance in real time. The Contextual Targeting Tool automates the task of determining the keywords to target the words that work, so advertisers can build campaigns in minutes rather than hours.
