Black Science and the Dark Arts.
A little bloglet for muzak and nerdy things. Expect Goth, Witch House, Memetics and other curious bits I find here and there.
Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab by Google & NASA for AI-Development
Google and NASA are forming a laboratory to study artificial intelligence by means of computers that use the unusual properties of quantum physics. Their quantum computer, which performs complex calculations thousands of times faster than existing supercomputers, is expected to be in active use in the third quarter of this year.
The Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab, as the entity is called, will focus on machine learning, which is the way computers take note of patterns of information to improve their outputs. Personalized Internet search and predictions of traffic congestion based on GPS data are examples of machine learning. The field is particularly important for things like facial or voice recognition, biological behavior, or the management of very large and complex systems.
// BTW: D-Wave quantum computer matches the tenth ranked supercomputer for speed, someway.
