All of Netflix’s HDR video streaming is now dynamically optimized
by Aditya Mavlankar, Zhi Li, Lukáš Krasula and Christos Bampis High dynamic range (HDR) video brings a wider range of luminance and a wider gamut of colors, paving the way for a stunning viewing experience. Separately, our invention of Dynamically Optimized (DO) encoding helps achieve optimized bitrate-quality tradeoffs depending on the complexity of the content. HDR was …

How blockchain enables trust in water trading
Australia pioneered water rights trading in the early 1900s, becoming a world leader in water sharing between valleys. The initiative extended throughout the states of Australia across the Murray-Darling Basin (MDB). However, findings from the water market’s inquiry of the MDB, completed by the Australian Consumer and Competition Commission (ACCC) and the Department of Climate …

How do you make a robot smarter? Program it to know what it doesn’t know
Engineers have come up with a new way to teach robots to know when they don’t know. The technique involves quantifying the fuzziness of human language and using that measurement to tell robots when to ask for further directions. Telling a robot to pick up a bowl from a table with only one bowl is …

How do you make a robot smarter? Program it to know what it doesn’t know
Modern robots know how to sense their environment and respond to language, but what they don’t know is often more important than what they do know. Teaching robots to ask for help is key to making them safer and more efficient.

Support Vector Machines for Image Classification and Detection Using OpenCV
In a previous tutorial, we have explored the use of the Support Vector Machine algorithm as one of the most popular supervised machine learning techniques that comes implemented in the OpenCV library. So far, we have seen how to apply Support Vector Machines to a custom dataset that we have generated, consisting of two-dimensional points …

Best practices for augmenting human intelligence with AI
Artificial Intelligence (AI) should be designed to include and balance human oversight, agency, and accountability over decisions across the AI lifecycle. IBM’s first Principle for Trust and Transparency states that the purpose of AI is to augment human intelligence. Augmented human intelligence means that the use of AI enhances human intelligence, rather than operating independently …
