AlphaStar is the first AI to reach the top league of a widely popular esport without any game restrictions. This January, a preliminary version of AlphaStar challenged two of the world's top players in StarCraft II, one of the most enduring and popular real-time strategy video games of all time. Since then, we have…

We're excited to share several improvements to DuckDuckGo Search that should make your searching not only more effective, but also a more pleasant experience.
We’ve trained a pair of neural networks to solve the Rubik’s Cube with a human-like robot hand. The neural networks are trained entirely in simulation, using the same reinforcement learning code as OpenAI Five paired with a new technique called Automatic Domain Randomization (ADR). The system can handle situations it…
Gradient Community Notebooks provide free GPUs with pre-configured environments for machine learning and deep learning projects.
The state of California just made it clear: Face recognition surveillance isn’t inevitable. We can — and should — protect our communities from this dystopian technology.
Version 2.2 of the spaCy Natural Language Processing library is leaner, cleaner and even more user-friendly. In addition to new model packages and features for training, evaluation and serialization, we've made lots of bug fixes, improved debugging and error handling, and greatly reduced the size of the library on…
We’re announcing the CodeSearchNet Challenge and releasing a large dataset for natural language processing and machine learning.
BeagleBoard.org Foundation is a Michigan, USA-based 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation existing to provide education in and collaboration around the design and use of open-source software and hardware in embedded computing.
Today we’re announcing a big step in securing the open source supply chain: we’re welcoming Semmle to the GitHub family.
We’ve observed agents discovering progressively more complex tool use while playing a simple game of hide-and-seek. Through training in our new simulated hide-and-seek environment, agents build a series of six distinct strategies and counterstrategies, some of which we did not know our environment supported. The…
Learn about attention mechanisms and how they are applied for text recognition tasks. We will also use tensorflow attention ocr to train our own number plate reader.
Deep dive into python spacy with code examples, real-world applications, and expert insights for data science practitioners.
Google Cloud will be at the cornerstone of Mayo Clinic’s digital transformation as it looks to the cloud to enhance patient and clinician experiences, improve diagnostics and patient outcomes, and expand its unparalleled clinical research.
Whether you're a city planner, a small business owner, or a software developer, gaining useful insights from data can help make services work better and answer important questions. But, without strong privacy protections, you risk losing the trust of your citizens, customers, and users.
Computer-based processing and identification of human voices is known as speech recognition. It can be used to authenticate users in certain systems, as well as provide instructions to smart devices like the Google Assistant, Siri or Cortana. Essentially, it works… Continue reading A 2019 Guide for Automatic Speech…

This article is the first installment of a two-post series on Building a machine reading comprehension system using the latest advances in deep learning for NLP.
Artificial production of human speech is known as speech synthesis. This machine learning-based technique is applicable in text-to-speech, music generation, speech generation, speech-enabled devices, navigation systems, and accessibility for visually-impaired people. In this article, we’ll look at research and model……

A hands-on guide to natural language processing with Keras. Covers word2vec, sentiment classification, CNNs, RNNs, and LSTMs using the IMDb dataset in Python.
In this article, I'd like to tell you how to start with machine learning, and what to do to learn algorithms that will help you to build smart apps.
