Mathew Schwartz, an assistant professor at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, is using NVIDIA Omniverse and OpenUSD to help designers address the challenge of accessibility in building design. Schwartz's team developed open-source code that generates a complex accessibility graph, providing feedback on human movement and energy expenditure. With Omniverse, designers can visualize the graph...
This article explores the importance of classical computation in the context of artificial intelligence, highlighting its provable correctness, strong generalization, and interpretability compared to the limitations of deep neural networks. It argues that developing AI systems with these classical computation skills is crucial for building generally-intelligent agents.
Spectral clustering is a complex machine learning technique that uncovers patterns in data. Implementing it involves computing affinity and Laplacian matrices, eigenvector embeddings, and performing k-means clustering.
Data projects often fail to deliver real-life impact due to macro-elements such as data availability, skillset, timeframe, organizational readiness, and political environment. The availability and accessibility of relevant data are fundamental, and if data is unattainable, the feasibility of the project should be reconsidered.
Vodafone is transforming into a TechCo by 2025, with plans to have 50% of its workforce involved in software development and deliver 60% of digital services in-house. To support this transition, Vodafone has partnered with Accenture and AWS to build a cloud platform and engaged in an AWS DeepRacer challenge to enhance their machine learning skills.
