  • Boffins want machine learning to predict earthquakes

    Although the laboratory earthquakes provide good simulations, its a very simplistic model. Real seismic data is a lot messier. There is ambient noise produced by human activity and the environment. Sounds from nearby faults also interfere with the signal pattern the researchers are looking for, making predictions more difficult.

  • Will Artificial Intelligence Be the Last Human Invention?

    In Plato's "Phaedrus," Socrates tells the legend of King Thamus who is given the gift of writing from Theuth, the Egyptian god of knowledge. Writing, Theuth persuades, will act as a mass remedy for memory loss, allowing information to be more easily remembered and stored. No longer will people have to rely on oral tradition to learn and pass on information. King Thamus is unconvinced and argues writing will in fact have the opposite effect, that writing will lead to laziness, not enlightenment. Instead of internalizing information, younger generations would rely on notes, books, reminders and otherwise externalized forms of knowledge to formulate the illusion of knowledge. To King Thamus, the technology of writing is a threat to the prosperity of human civilization.

  • Cargo's Crystal Ball: The power of machine learning

    Most shippers were caught off-guard last August when the world's seventh-largest container line suddenly went into receivership. An estimated US$14 billion in cargo was left in limbo after two-thirds of South Korea-based Hanjin's fleet some 93 vessels were seized, stranded or denied entry into ports. Shippers immediately opened their contingency playbooks and began the costly process of rebooking shipments on other container lines; in some cases, shippers had to resort to alternative modes of transportation to mitigate shipment delays.
