Deep Learning Squeezed Onto a Phone

Posted on by

Artificial-intelligence software can make phones better at tracking your workouts and emotions.

Software that roughly mimics the way the brain works could give smartphones new smartsleading to more accurate and sophisticated apps for tracking everything from workouts to emotions.

The software exploits an artificial-intelligence technique known as deep learning, which uses simulated neurons and synapses to process data. Feeding the program visual stimuli will strengthen the connections between certain virtual neurons, enabling it to recognize faces or other features in images it hasnt seen before.

Deep learning has produced dramatic advances in processing images and audio (see 10 Breakthrough Technologies 2013: Deep Learning). Last year, for instance, Facebook researchers used it to build a system that can determine nearly as well as a human whether two different photos show the same person, and Google used the method to create software that describes complicated images in short sentences (see Googles Brain-Inspired Software Describes What It Sees in Complex Images). Thus far, however, most such efforts have involved groups of extremely powerful computers.

Smartphones can already make use of deep learning by tapping into remote servers running the software. But this can be slow, and it works only if a device has a good Internet connection. Now Nic Lane, a principal scientist at Bell Labs, says some smartphones are powerful enough to run certain deep-learning methods themselves. And Lane believes deep learning can improve the performance of mobile sensing apps. For example, it could filter out unwanted sounds from a microphone or remove unwanted signals in the data gathered by an accelerometer.

While Lane was a lead researcher at Microsoft Research Asia last year, he and Petko Georgiev, a graduate student at the University of Cambridge in the U.K., built a prototype of relatively simple deep-learning program that runs on a modified Android smartphone.

The researchers were trying to see whether their prototype could improve a smartphones ability to detect, from data collected by an accelerometer on the wrist, whether someone was performing certain activities, such as eating soup or brushing teeth. They also tested whether they could get the phone to determine peoples emotions or identities from recordings of their speech.

Lane and Georgiev detail their findings in a paper being presented this month at the HotMobile conference in Santa Fe, New Mexico. They report that the software they created was 10 percent more accurate than other methods at recognizing activities. The researchers also say their neural network was able to identify speakers and emotions about as accurately as other methods.

The prototype network Lane and Georgiev built had just a fraction as many connections between its artificial neurons as Facebooks. But it could be faster and more reliable for some tasks.

Its all about, I think, instilling intelligence into devices so that they are able to understand and react to the worldby themselves, Lane says.

NASA Selects UTC Aerospace Systems NP2000 Propellers and Electronic Propeller Control Systems for a P-3 Aircraft

Posted on by

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Feb. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- NASA has selected UTC Aerospace Systems for the world's first NP2000 propeller modernization of a P-3 aircraft. The agreement provides for procurement and installation of NP2000 propellers with electronic propeller control systems and will include engineering, technical and logistics services within the next two years. UTC Aerospace Systems is a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX).

The NP2000 is being offered to replace the HS 54H60 propeller system for the P-3. It is designed to provide higher reliability, reduced vibration and noise to the aircraft, and reduce support costs. The U.S. Navy has already deployed the NP2000 on the E-2C Hawkeye and C-2A Greyhound, and it is currently flying on C-130 aircraft with the Air National Guard.

This milestone in the NP2000 modernization program is a critical step to gain airworthiness approval on a P-3, and supports UTC Aerospace Systems' efforts to market the NP2000 for 54H60 propeller replacements.

The P-3 is considered a core platform for the NASA Airborne Science Program. The aircraft supports scientific investigations by NASA and visiting scientists from universities, other agencies and organizations worldwide. The P-3 is also used as a technology test bed for new airborne and satellite instrumentation.

"This propeller system is ideally suited for the modernization of all P-3 aircraft which currently use the 54H60 propeller," said Michel Ferey, Propeller Systems president and general manager for UTC Aerospace Systems.

Ferey added, "This modernization is a 50 year jump in technology with benefits that include performance enhancements, quieter operations and lower operating costs."

UTC Aerospace Systems designs, manufactures and services integrated systems and components for the aerospace and defense industries. UTC Aerospace Systems supports a global customer base with significant worldwide manufacturing and customer service facilities.

United Technologies Corp., based in Hartford, Connecticut, provides high technology products and services to the building and aerospace industries.

OTAN – Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre

Posted on by

Organizacin del Tratado del Atlntico Norte Organisation du Trait de l'Atlantique Nord* North Atlantic Treaty Organization* NATO redirige aqu. Para otras acepciones, vase Nato.

La Organizacin del Tratado del Atlntico Norte, OTAN (en ingls: North Atlantic Treaty Organization, NATO), tambin denominada Alianza del Atlntico o del Atlntico Norte, es una alianza militar intergubernamental basada en el Tratado del Atlntico Norte firmado el 4 de abril de 1949. La organizacin constituye un sistema de defensa colectiva en la cual los estados miembros acuerdan defender a cualquiera de sus miembros si son atacados por una faccin externa. El cuartel general de la OTAN se encuentra en Bruselas, Blgica, uno de los 28 estados miembros de la organizacin que se extiende por Norteamrica y Europa. Las ltimas incorporaciones fueron Albania y Croacia, en abril de 2009. Adems, hay 22 pases que colaboran con la OTAN dentro del programa "Asociacin para la Paz", con otros 15 pases involucrados en programas de dilogo. El gasto militar combinado de todos los pases miembros de la OTAN supera el 70% del gasto militar mundial.[1]

En sus primeros aos, la OTAN no era mucho ms que una asociacin poltica. Sin embargo, la Guerra de Corea hizo que se planteara una coalicin permanente, y desde entonces una nueva estructura militar fue creada bajo la direccin de los comandantes de Estados Unidos. El curso de la Guerra Fra llev a las naciones rivales a crear el Pacto de Varsovia, que se form en 1955. Las dudas sobre la alianza europeo-norteamericana ante una invasin sovitica siempre estuvieron en discusin, desacuerdos que se plasmaron con la creacin por parte de Francia de la fuerza de choque nuclear, y finalmente con su retirada de la alianza en 1966.

Despus de la cada del Muro de Berln en 1989, la organizacin intervino dentro de la Guerra de Yugoslavia, lo que se convirti en la primera intervencin conjunta de la OTAN, y tambin despus en 1999. Polticamente la organizacin ha mejorado progresivamente sus relaciones con los antiguos miembros del Bloque del Este, que culmin con incorporar varios miembros del Pacto de Varsovia entre 1999 y 2004. En septiembre de 2001 ha sido la nica ocasin que un pas miembro, Estados Unidos, ha invocado el Artculo 5 del tratado[2] reivindicando la ayuda en su defensa. Despus de eso los pases miembros colaboraron con los Estados Unidos en la Guerra de Afganistn y de Irak. El artculo 4 del tratado prev llamar a consulta a los pases miembros y ha sido convocado 4 veces, 3 de ellas por Turqua, la primera por la Guerra de Irak y las dos restantes por ataques recibidos durante la Guerra Civil Siria,[3] la cuarta ha sido invocado por Polonia, durante la Crisis de Crimea de 2014, debido a la movilizacin de tropas rusas en la frontera polaca con Kaliningrado, y maniobras rusas en el Bltico.

En 1949, en plena postguerra de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, en Occidente se vea con preocupacin la poltica expansionista que estaba siguiendo la Unin de Repblicas Socialistas Soviticas. Era evidente que la ONU no podra ser capaz por s sola de mantener la estabilidad en el mundo, ya que los intereses de Estados Unidos conllevaron numerosos vetos soviticos. La aparicin de gobiernos comunistas en Europa Central y Oriental por influencia sovitica aumentaban la presin en Europa Occidental. Entre 1947 y 1949, una serie de sucesos, ms dramticos por el hecho de la reciente marcha de las tropas estadounidenses y canadienses que an se encontraban en Europa desde el fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, marcaron el punto ms alto en la tensin que se estaba experimentando. Estos sucesos fueron amenazas a la soberana de Noruega, Grecia, Turqua y Checoslovaquia, entre otros, donde el golpe de Praga fue interpretado como un ataque directo a los intereses europeos. Adems, el Bloqueo de Berln, que empez en abril de 1948, empeor la situacin para los pases antes mencionados.[4]

La necesidad de una asociacin de pases cada vez era ms manifiesta, de forma que en marzo de 1948, Francia, Blgica, Pases Bajos, Luxemburgo y el Reino Unido de Gran Bretaa e Irlanda del Norte firmaron el Tratado de Bruselas, con el que creaban una alianza militar, la Alianza Atlntica.

Ante la creciente expansin socialista, se decidi ampliar la Alianza, por lo que se llevaron a cabo negociaciones entre Estados Unidos, Canad y la Alianza Atlntica, a las que se decidi invitar a Canad, Dinamarca, Islandia, Italia, Noruega y Portugal. Las negociaciones giraron en torno a la creacin de una alianza militar que tuviese una base en el artculo 51 de la Carta de las Naciones Unidas, y tuvieron como resultado la firma del Tratado de Washington, el 4 de abril de 1949, por la que se establecan las bases de la creacin la Organizacin del Tratado del Atlntico Norte.

Una de las dificultades surgidas durante las negociaciones estuvieron relacionadas con la integracin de Estados Unidos en la Organizacin. Los pases europeos, devastados despus de la guerra, estaban interesados en aliarse con Estados Unidos para as asegurarse una defensa eficaz, pero en Estados Unidos no se comparta esta voluntad. Sin embargo, el golpe de Praga, el 12 de marzo de 1948 y el bloqueo de Berln en 1949 aumentaron la reivindicacin por parte de los europeos, especialmente de Francia, de la creacin de una alianza militar con Estados Unidos: en secreto, en el Reino Unido se firm un acuerdo, llamado Pentagon Paper[citarequerida], con el que se estableca un esbozo de como deba ser una alianza en el Atlntico Norte.

El ltimo elemento a tener en cuenta en el proceso de integracin de Estados Unidos pas por la necesidad de sortear la dificultad que supona la prohibicin por parte de la Constitucin de los Estados Unidos de aliarse militarmente en tiempos de paz. El senador Vandenberg promovi la votacin de la Resolucin 239, que el 11 de junio de 1948 dio luz verde a la unin de Estados Unidos a la Alianza. Bajo peticin del Senado de Estados Unidos, se hizo constar en el tratado de constitucin de la alianza (artculo 5) que las medidas a tomar en caso de agresin a algn pas miembro fuesen resultado de la libre eleccin de cada pas. El Senado quera mantener as el poder de eleccin del Congreso en materia militar.

Despus de la constitucin de la OTAN, nuevos pases se fueron adhiriendo a ella. En 1952 se unieron los dos primeros, Reino de Grecia y Turqua. La Repblica Federal de Alemania accedi en 1955 y, en 1982, Espaa tambin firm el Tratado. La Repblica Checa, Hungra y Polonia se convirtieron en miembros en 1999. En 2004 accedieron Bulgaria, Eslovaquia, Eslovenia, Estonia, Letonia, Lituania y Rumana. Y, por ltimo, Croacia y Albania en 2009
