A group at Tokyo Institute of Technology, led by Dr. Osamu Hasegawa, has succeeded in making further advances with SOINN, their machine learning algorithm, which can now use the internet to learn how to perform new tasks. The system, which is under development as an artificial brain for autonomous mental development robots, is currently being used to learn about objects in photos using image searches on the internet. It can also take aspects of other known objects and combine them to make guesses about objects it doesn't yet recognize. Via Sakis Koukouvis

Princeton scientists used 3-D printing to create a "bionic ear" made up of a coil antenna and cartilage, demonstrating an efficient method of merging electronics with tissue.
The researchers' primary purpose was to explore an efficient and versatile method of merging electronics with tissue. The scientists used 3-D printing of cells and nanoparticles — with an off-the-shelf printer purchased off the Internet — followed by cell culture to combine a small coil antenna with cartilage, creating what they term a bionic ear.
"In general, there are mechanical and thermal challenges with interfacing electronic materials with biological materials," said Michael McAlpine, an assistant professor ofmechanical and aerospace engineering at Princeton and the project's lead researcher. "Previously, researchers have suggested some strategies to tailor the electronics so that this merger is less awkward. That typically happens between a 2-D sheet of electronics and a surface of the tissue. However, our work suggests a new approach — to build and grow the biology up with the electronics synergistically and in a 3-D interwoven format."
"The design and implementation of bionic organs and devices that enhance human capabilities, known as cybernetics, has been an area of increasing scientific interest," the researchers wrote in an article published online May 1 in the scholarly journal Nano Letters. "This field has the potential to generate customized replacement parts for the human body, or even create organs containing capabilities beyond what human biology ordinarily provides."

Some believe in a utopian future, in which humans can transcend their physical limitations with the aid of machines. But others think humans will eventually relinquish most of their abilities and gradually become absorbed into artificial intelligence (AI)-based organisms, much like the energy making machinery in our own cells.

Le projet Google Glass est en passe de se concrétiser. Avant la fin de cette année, Google compte proposer des lunettes interconnectées. Il ne s'agit pas de lunettes de vue, mais d'appareils donnant à l'utilisateur la possibilité de bénéficier de différents services "sous le casque", comme l'on dirait en aéronautique : GPS, accès aux bases d'informations concernant les objets et scènes observées, possibilité de filmer et mémoriser à tous moments les lieux et les personnes, sans évidemment leur demander leur accord.

Activision showed off the state of the art of real-time graphics on Wednesday, releasing this mind-boggling character demo. The character's skin, facial expressions and eyes look so real, it's uncanny.
When you watch this video, see if you think this character has reached the other side of what's commonly called the "uncanny valley," a term first uttered by early robotics guruMasahiro Mori in 1970. It describes the range of sophistication of animated graphics, from one side of the valley where human figures simply look unrealistic, to the middle of the valley — where they look just realistic enough to be creepy — to our side of the valley, where animation is indistinguishable from reality.
Whenever the uncanny valley is mentioned, the animation techniques from the November, 2004 movie Polar Express come to mind. Most viewers noticed the characters weren't quite photorealistic enough to keep them out of the creepy zone. But that was nearly 8 years ago, and graphics technology has made spectacular progress since then. Via Marco Bertolini, Dr. Stefan Gruenwald, Sakis Koukouvis

The thing that I increasingly believe makes the history of photography interesting is that it is really a history of the relentless pursuit of speed. One might imagine that in a visual media each major innovation would be one of improving image quality (as has been the case in, for example, cinematography). But in photography each advance, from Daguerreotype to Polaroid, digital single lens reflex to the camera phone, has been first and foremost about increasing the medium’s pace, often indeed at the expense of image quality.

Des affichettes NFC/QR code "Portail pour l’emploi" bientôt dans toutes les communes de NCA
Ce service de proximité vise à favoriser la recherche d’emploi dans toutes les communes de la Métropole. Levens est la 1ère commune de la Métropole à s’équiper des affichettes NFC/QR code "Portail pour l’emploi". Dans un mois toutes les autres communes les auront apposées, en mairie ou au sein d’un autre équipement municipal. Ces affichettes permettent d’accéder immédiatement aux offres d’emploi à partir d’un téléphone doté de la technologie NFC ou d’un smartphone connecté à Internet.
