Latest Updates in Digital Data Sphere
In the ever-evolving world of technology, artificial intelligence (AI) continues to make strides, revolutionizing various sectors. Here's a snapshot of some recent AI developments from around the globe.
Researchers at the New Jersey Institute of Technology have developed DrugTracker, a machine-learning tool that analyses data from social media platforms like Twitter and Reddit to monitor drug abuse in real-time. The innovative tool flags hundreds of relevant posts daily, helping counsellors and clinicians to allocate their resources more effectively.
Across the Atlantic, a collaboration between Facebook, Deepmind, the University of Washington, and New York University has resulted in SuperGLUE — a collection of benchmark tasks designed to test the capabilities of AI systems in performing natural language processing tasks. SuperGLUE includes tasks that test a system's ability to understand reason, cause and effect, and answer yes or no questions.
Meanwhile, researchers from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and Microsoft have developed an AI system that can automatically estimate a roof's solar power potential from satellite imagery. The system not only determines the geometry of roofs to ascertain how many solar panels can fit but also incorporates solar irradiance data to make solar power estimates.
Nvidia, a leading name in AI, has made significant strides in the field of natural language processing. Their AI platform has trained the world's most advanced model, BERT, in just 53 minutes, and has released the BERT training code and an optimized BERT model. Nvidia's platform has also improved BERT's inference speed to a record-breaking 2 milliseconds.
In the realm of environmental conservation, researchers from the Tokyo Institute of Technology, multiple UK universities, and the Natural History Museum London have developed an AI system that validates the mimicry theory. The AI system proved that butterfly species co-evolve similar wing patterns for mutual benefit, providing compelling evidence for the mimicry theory.
Lastly, a company in Seattle has developed a fish passage portal using artificial intelligence to distinguish fish by length, girth, and origin. However, the identity of the company remains undisclosed in the provided search results.
These advancements underscore the transformative power of AI, with potential applications spanning from public health to environmental conservation, and from natural language processing to renewable energy. As AI continues to evolve, we can expect to see more groundbreaking innovations in the near future.
