Data Mining Tool Advances: MINE Ranks Multiple Patterns

A new data mining tool created by Harvard University and MIT’s Broad Institute can not only sort vast data sets to find patterns, it can also rank multiple patterns within the data. Why is this significant? Data mining in general is a great tool for pulling pertinent information out of groups of data, but when […]

Artificial Neural Networks Get a Boost: Computer Chip Replicates Neuron Activity

November 17, 2011 by Victoria Nicks 2 Comments

Artificial Neural Networks Get a Boost: Computer Chip Replicates Neuron Activity

One of the most challenging aspects of creating an artificial neural network is the replication, or approximation, of the variety of subtle factors that lead to firing of neurons in the brain. It may be simple to replicate the least complex aspect of binary on/off functions in the human brain, but creating a sophisticated system […]

Thresholding Images: How Do The Algorithms Work?

July 7, 2011 by Victoria Nicks 4 Comments

Thresholding Images: How Do The Algorithms Work?

When you run an image through an optimization program, one of the portions of the algorithm will likely provide a service called “thresholding.” What is this service anyway, and why would you want a thresholding algorithm applied to your image? What is “Thresholding?” The process of choosing a limit in the range of available colors, […]

AI Technology in the Banking and Credit Industry

As technology improves, credit card companies and banks are increasing the use of artificial intelligence software programs. AI programs track the spending habits of consumers, in order to prevent theft and fraudulent charges. Using AI, or artificial intelligence, to stop fraud before it gets out of hand is a comparatively simple solution to a complex […]

Machine Learning: How Computers Get Smarter

Machine learning allows computer programs to master new tasks without line-by-line programming. In other words, the programmer is able, to some degree, to allow the software to write itself. AI programs use unsupervised machine learning to make decisions and change behavior based on experience. How Does Machine Learning Work? Programmers use machine learning to “train” […]
