AI Technology & Industry Review
A research team from IBM introduces two systems for predicting information type: The TypeSuggest module, an unsupervised system designed to generate types for a set of seed query terms input by the user; and an Answer Type prediction module for predicting the correct answer type for user-provided questions.
A team from University of Michigan, MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab and ShanghaiTech University publishes two papers on individual fairness for ML models, introducing a scale-free and interpretable statistically principled approach for assessing individual fairness and a method for enforcing individual fairness in gradient boosting suitable for non-smooth ML models.
IBM has closed off its Beijing-based China Research Laboratory (CRL) after 25 years of operation.
“Our research provides enriched AR user experiences by enabling a more fine-grained visual recognition feature in AR, which is desirable in a wide range of application scenarios including technical support,” IBM researchers say.
In a bid to improve object localization in less-than-ideal circumstances, an MIT and IBM research group has proposed a cross-modal auditory localization framework that can effectively locate objects using stereo sound.
At last week’s Re•Work AI in Finance Conference in New York, researchers and engineers from banks and academia alike shared their thoughts on current AI research and applications in the finance world.
In a paper recently published in Nature, IBM researchers propose using two quantum algorithms based on superconducting processors to provide a novel solution to classification problems.
While there is nothing wrong with viewing autonomous driving as an emerging sector in the car manufacturing industry, big tech companies are also playing a central role, and have been making huge investments in automotive technologies.
Debating is a hallmark of human civilization, and few do it better than World Debating Championship Finalist Harish Natarajan. Last night at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, Natarajan stepped up against an AI-empowered debating machine from IBM.
To help keep our readers abreast of the trend, Synced has identified five high-quality open-source datasets that were released this month (January 2019) and that AI researchers and engineers might find useful in their work.

Adding Baidu’s voice will broaden PAI’s understanding of global AI technologies and their ethical implications. Chinese companies are pushing forward with a wide adoption of AI technologies across industries from healthcare to transportation and beyond.
IBM today announced it will release the world’s largest facial attribute dataset in order to fight bias in artificial intelligence systems used to recognize human faces. The dataset was built by IBM research scientists and contains one million images, five times the image count of the current largest facial attribute dataset. It will be publically available this fall.
The US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee today introduced the world’s fastest supercomputer Summit, whose computing power reaches 200 petaflops or 200 million billion calculations per second.
Thousands in the machine learning community say they will boycott Nature’s paywalled Machine Intelligence Journal, which is set for a January 2019 release.
IBM announces a four-year program in collaboration with Calgary-based Natural Resources Solutions Center to help oil and gas companies with sustainability and efficiency.
Embedded AI can transform a tabletop speaker into a personal assistant; give a robot brains and dexterity; and turn a smartphone into a smart camera, music player, or game console. Traditional processors, however, lack the computational power to support many of these intelligent features.
The conference was held November 17-19th, and attracted research scientists, industry influencers, venture investors, and entrepreneurs from the Greater Boston Area.
As more companies bet on AI, computer scientists with AI expertise are coming into demand on the job market.
