How Is Artificial Intelligence Evolving

Image
  Artificial Intelligence has been around for a while now and we have witnessed some of the breakthrough advancements in this technology. Now, researchers are making efforts to evolve artificial intelligence to act like natural intelligence. It would be a long way to go before that happens but efforts are being made now. Here are two examples of initiatives to improve AI. A radical new technique lets AI learn with practically no data A new paper from the Univers i ty of Waterloo, Ontario suggests that AI models should be able to learn in “less than one” shot, or LO-shot. What this means is that AI models should accurately recognise more objects than the number of examples it was trained on. This will be a big deal for the field of AI as it has grown excessively expensive and inaccessible as the data sets used become ever larger. The researchers demonstrated the idea by experimenting with MNIST, a popular computer-vision data set. It contains 60,000 training images of handwritten di...
