Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence Tools/Frameworks

Machine Learning (ML) has emerged as an important technology that is quickly becoming a part of our everyday life. Working with Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, ML allows software applications to learn from the data and become more accurate in predicting outcomes without human intervention and without being explicitly programmed. To make this happen, programmers use tools and libraries to handle ML tasks. Here is an overview of some of the most common tools used to make this technology work:Scikit Learn is a free software ML library for the Python programming language. It is a simple and efficient tool for data mining and data analysis. It is built on Numpy, Scipy, and Matplotlib platforms and provides a range of supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms in Python such as classification, regression, clustering and more. Scikit Learn is the basic building block for any Machine Learning algorithm.KNIME is a free and open-source data analytics reporting and integration…

How AI Biometric Technologies Work

Facial Recognition Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is becoming part of our everyday life and its applications can be seen in areas such as bank fraud detection, retail purchase predictions and online customer support interactions. AI has also proved useful in detecting and stopping malware threats and cyber attacks. An emerging area of AI is Facial Recognition technology – the ability to identify or verify a person from a digital image or video source. Several methods are being used in which facial recognition systems work, but in general, they work by comparing selected facial features from a given image with faces within a database. Iris Recognition Iris recognition is one of the most popular types of biometric technology because of its narrow margin of error and fast speed. It is an automated method of biometric identification and verification that uses mathematical pattern-recognition techniques on images of a person’s eyes.  The iris offers complex, unique…

Fraud Detection with The Help of AI and Machine Learning

The banking industry is now using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to reduce the billions of dollars lost to fraud each year. Banks recently reported $2.2-Billion in losses due to fraud in a single year.  Advances in AI technology are helping to reverse these losses, using methods that ferret out cases of suspicious monetary behavior and allowing the fraud to be detected early before the damage is done. To tackle such activities, AI and Machine Learning programs interpret patterns in the data and apply data science to continually improve the ability to distinguish normal behavior from abnormal behavior. This requires thousands of computations to be accurately performed in milliseconds. Machine Learning capabilities are used to implement automated systems that can learn patterns in data sets without the intervention of human beings. The use of AI and Machine Learning technologies, is allowing banks to quickly respond to ever-evolving fraud threats and reduce…

The Future of Relationship Between AI Assistants And Human Beings

The Future of Relationship Between AI Assistants And Human Beings

An “AI Assistant” is an application program that receives natural language voice commands from a user and responds with the best results.  Also known as a Digital Assistant or Virtual Assistant, the technology that powers an AI Assistant requires massive amounts of data, which utilize Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) as well as Natural Language Processing (NLP) and speech recognition platforms. Amazon “Alexa,” Apple “Siri,” Google “Now” and Microsoft “Cortana” are the most well-known AI Assistants.  Their aim is to provide ease-of-use and perform personal tasks such as answering questions, setting alarms and calendar events, ordering goods and services, playing music, operating lights, adjusting heat and air conditioning, or managing home security systems.   As the user interacts with an AI Assistant program the embedded sophisticated algorithms learn from data inputs and become better at predicting the user needs or understanding voice commands. For many people with disabilities AI Assistant programs…

Facial Expression Recognition (FER)

Facial Expression Recognition (FER)

Facial Expression Recognition (FER) has become an emerging area of interest due to advancements in the fields of Computer Vision and Artificial Intelligence.   This technology not only helps machines to recognize the human face, but also can recognize a person’s expressions – for example, to determine if someone is happy and relaxed or angry and upset. Facial expressions can be difficult to recognize because these expressions vary from face to face. The human brain – which has the ability to recognize facial expressions – is considered the most advanced computer, and therefore efforts have been made to artificially replicate brain function. Now that many artificially-intelligent models have been developed, researchers are taking a new interest in facial expression recognition capabilities. Many of the models that have been developed are able to accurately extract the features of the human face, but there are still areas where these models provide inaccurate readings. The challenge…
