Use Cases of Machine Learning<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Chatbots can utilize a combination of natural language processing, pattern recognition, and deep neural networks to interpret input text and offer suitable responses.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fremont, CA:<\/strong> Machine learning is a subdivision of artificial intelligence (AI) focused on building applications that are smart enough to learn from data and also improve their accuracy over time without being programmed to do so. <\/p>\n

In the realm of data science, an algorithm is nothing but a sequence of statistical processing steps. In machine learning, algorithms are purposed to find features and patterns in massive amounts of data to make decisions and predictions on the basis of new data. When the algorithm is better, the predictions and decisions will become more accurate as it processes more data.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the use cases of machine learning:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Digital assistants:<\/strong> Google Assistant, Apple Siri, Amazon Alexa, and other digital assistants are empowered by natural language processing (NLP), a machine learning application that allows computers to process text as well as voice data and ‘understand’ human language. Natural language processing also powers voice-driven applications like speech recognition (speech-to-text) software and GPS.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Recommendations:<\/strong> Deep learning models enable ‘people also liked’ and ‘just for you’ recommendations offered by Netflix, Spotify, Amazon, and other entertainment, retail, job search, travel, and news services.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Chatbots:<\/strong> Chatbots can utilize a combination of natural language processing, pattern recognition, and deep neural networks to interpret input text and offer suitable responses.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Online Advertising:<\/strong> Deep learning and machine learning and models are capable of evaluating the content of a web page\u2014the topic and nuances such as the author’s attitude or opinion\u2014and serve up advertisements customized to the visitor’s interests.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Detecting Fraud:<\/strong> Machine learning regression and classification models have overthrown rules-based fraud detection systems that have a high number of false positives when flagging stolen credit card utilization and are rarely successful at detecting criminal utilization of stolen or compromised financial data.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Google AI concocts ‘breakie’ and ‘cakie’ hybrid baked goods<\/a><\/p>\n

If, as I suspect many of you have, you have worked your way through baking every type of cookie, bread and cake under the sun over the last year, Google <\/span><\/a> has a surprise for you: a pair of AI-generated hybrid treats, the \u201cbreakie\u201d and the \u201ccakie.\u201d<\/p>\n

The origin of these new items seems to have been in a demonstration of the company\u2019s AutoML Tables tool<\/a>, a codeless model generation system that\u2019s more spreadsheet automation than what you\u2019d really call \u201cartificial intelligence.\u201d But let\u2019s not split hairs, or else we\u2019ll never get to the recipe.<\/p>\n

Specifically it was the work of Sara Robinson, who was playing with these tools earlier last spring<\/a>, as a person interested in machine learning and baking was likely to start doing around that time as cabin fever first took hold.<\/p>\n

What happened was she wanted to design a system that would look at a recipe and automatically tell you whether it was bread, cookie or cake, and why \u2014 for instance, a higher butter and sugar content might bias it toward cookie, while yeast was usually a dead giveaway for bread.<\/p>\n

But of course, not every recipe is so straightforward, and the tool isn\u2019t always 100% sure. Robinson began to wonder, what would a recipe look like that the system couldn\u2019t decide on?<\/p>\n

She fiddled around with the ingredients until she found a balance that caused the machine learning system to produce a perfect 50\/50 split between cookie and cake. Naturally, she made some \u2014 behold the \u201ccakie.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is yummy. And it strangely tastes like what I\u2019d imagine would happen if I told a machine to make a cake cookie hybrid,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n

The other hybrid she put together was the \u201cbreakie,\u201d which as you surely have guessed by now is half bread, half cookie. This one ended up a little closer to \u201cfluffy cookies, almost the consistency of a muffin.\u201d And indeed they look like muffin tops that have lost their bottoms. But breakie sounds better than muffin tops (or \u201cbrookie,\u201d apparently the original name).<\/p>\n

These ingredients and ratios were probably invented or tried long ago, but it\u2019s certainly an interesting way to arrive at a new recipe using only old ones.<\/p>\n

The recipes below are perfectly doable, but to be transparent were not entirely generated by algorithm. It only indicates proportions of ingredients, and didn\u2019t include any flavorings or features like vanilla or chocolate chips, both which Robinson added. The actual baking instructions had to be puzzled out as well (the AI doesn\u2019t know what temperature is, or pans). But if you need something to try making that\u2019s different from the usual weekend treat, you could probably do worse than one of these.<\/p>\n
