Millions of new materials discovered with deep learning

We share the discovery of 2.2 million new crystals – equivalent to nearly 800 years’ worth of knowledge. We introduce Graph Networks for Materials Exploration (GNoME), our new deep learning tool that dramatically increases the speed and efficiency of discovery by predicting the stability of new materials.

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 …

Accelerate data preparation for ML in Amazon SageMaker Canvas

Data preparation is a crucial step in any machine learning (ML) workflow, yet it often involves tedious and time-consuming tasks. Amazon SageMaker Canvas now supports comprehensive data preparation capabilities powered by Amazon SageMaker Data Wrangler. With this integration, SageMaker Canvas provides customers with an end-to-end no-code workspace to prepare data, build and use ML and …

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 …

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 …
