These are my links for September 14th:
- Volatile and Decentralized: Programming != Computer Science -
Agreed! I'm most definitely a software engineer but I'm working at
learning to be a computer scientist.
- Football analysis leads to advance in artificial intelligence- A nice
review of a significant work (both in time and potential impact)
done at OSU.
An AI system which can automatically annotate raw
footage of (American) Football plays, map the recognised plays into
a cognitive architecture and then transfer the learned knowledge to
a simulated football environment with different constraints
(non-standard rules, fewer players and a larger field).
The implications are interesting. Easy to imagine are systems which
recommend plays to a coach or analyst. Knowledge transfer is a hot
topic, though. How about training a robot to clean houses by having
it observe someone clean a room? The article also hints to
applications of automated patient monitoring and enhanced logistics.
Exciting stuff!
