HANCOCK COUNTY Twenty robotics teams from seven Hancock County schools are gearing up for the third annual Indiana VEX Robotics State Championship, to be held Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium in downtown Indianapolis.

The competition will be the largest state robotics championship in the country, gathering over 385 teams from elementary, middle and high schools across the state, according to event host TechPoint Foundation For Youth.

Top finishers will advance to compete in the world robotics championship in Louisville, Kentucky, next month. In competition, teams maneuver their hand-built robots via remote control over a room-size field, using the machines to pick up items and move them to designated areas.

Hancock County is really well represented in the state championships, said Aaron Amos, who coaches the robotics teams at Eastern Hancock High School. If you consider all the schools in the county that are going, were a good chunk of whats being represented at the state level.

This is the first year Eastern Hancock has had a team qualify to go to state.

The students are obviously very excited, said Amos, who teaches physics and computer science at the school.

The schools robotics program was started a few years ago, and its kind of exploded. This year for the first time weve had more than one team, he said.

Of the schools three teams, the one going to state includes seniors Sam Blocher, Matthew Carter, Garret Henderson and Ashton Trueblood.

Amos said the community has been supportive of the group, which was recognized at the homecoming pep rally last week. The school recognizes that this is a big accomplishment for a small school like ours, he said.

While qualifying for state is impressive enough, Amos said the best part is they did so with only $1,500 of funding, which is practically unheard of, he said.

The team couldnt afford to build its own practice field as many other schools have, so the only time they could really practice was during tournament play.

Theyve worked really hard and managed to put together a great effort at our little school, Amos said.

This year marks the third consecutive year a team from Geist Montessori Academy in McCordsville will go to the state championships.

The nine-member team includes four returning members who made it to the world robotics competition last year, including seventh-graders Caleigh Johnson and Ellen Lovold and eighth-graders Molly Kwok and Eliza Sweeny.

New team members include fifth-graders Bentley Elsts and Joy Sweeny, sixth-grader Devon Jones and seventh-graders Cameron Archie and Chloe Jones.

The entire team is looking forward to our big adventure at the state competition, said Eliza, who is the team captain.

The team qualified after winning both an Excellence Award and the Skills Driving category earlier this month at a tourney in Indianapolis, where they placed second overall.

The Excellence Award is given to a team who was close to winning in several categories and demonstrated overall teamwork, cooperation with other teams, and a quality design notebook. This is what earned them a spot in the state competition, club adviser Kathy McGuinn said.

A dozen teams from the Southern Hancock schools district are going to state, including six elementary, one middle school, two junior high and three high school teams.

It marks another strong year in robotics for the school system.

At the junior high, weve gone to state the past six consecutive years and to worlds the past two consecutive years, said junior high club adviser Curt Powers.

We have a lot of students who participate and work hard at it, and they do an amazing job. We seem to be competitive in every tournament were in, he said.

Powers credits the corporations success in robotics to the fact its introduced as early as the third grade. The elementary school does a great job of introducing robotics to the students at a young age, which allows them to already have a strong background going into middle school and junior high, he said.

This is the ninth consecutive year Greenfield-Central High School has sent at least one team to the state VEX Robotics competition, having done so every year since the first was held in 2012.

This year its sending three of its seven teams to the competition, including one that is ranked sixth in the state.

That team, consisting of Claire Bishop, Owen Bishop, John Hill, Adam Hughes and Caleb Stoefler, is also 41st in the world rankings.

Greenfields robotics club co-adviser, Julie Stoeffler, said Indianas VEX Robotics community is a tight-knit group.

These kids have all worked together for many years and often scrimmage together. Having many teams at state from our school is very exciting, but equally exciting is the number of Hancock County teams that will be there, she said.

These kids are amazing, and we are very proud of all their hard work and efforts.

According to the TechPoint Foundation For Youth, which sponsors the state championships, robotics teams help reinforce STEM skills science, technology, engineering and math which educators say are crucial for jobs of the future.

In 2016, the foundation launched the State Robotics Initiative to provide hands-on, STEM learning experiences to Indiana students through an economical, entry-level robotics program. The initiative was designed as a statewide expansion of the city of Indianapolis VEX Robotics grant program.

In four years, the foundation said, it has grown the number of state schools with robotics programs by 430 percent, with more kids in Indiana involved with robotics than in any other state.

The students of these robotics teams will become the leaders of tomorrow. By helping provide a pathway from elementary to middle school and now high school, we are able to nurture the passion the students have for STEM, said George Giltner, the foundations vice president of STEM education.

With the end goal of a robotics team in every school, the Indiana workforce of the future is looking bright.

MACHINE LEARNING: 20 robotics teams will put knowledge, skill on the line in tournament - Greenfield Daily Reporter

This is the final, part 4 of a four-part series that breaks up a talk that I gave at the Toronto AI Meetup. Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 were all about the foundations of machine learning, optimization, models, and even machine learning in the cloud. In this video I show an actual machine learning problem (see the GitHub repo for the code) that does the important job of distinguishing between tacos and burritos (an important problem to be sure). The primary concepts included is MLOps both on the machine learning side as well as the deliver side in Azure Machine Learning and Azure DevOps respectively.

Hope you enjoy the final of the series, Part 4! As always feel free to send any feedback or add any comments below if you have any questions. If you would like to see more of this style of content let me know!

By not touching your face, you reduce the chances of getting sick from a virus or bacteria. This website, called Do Not Touch Your Face, uses your webcam to analyze your face and alert you with a tone if it catches you touching your face.

From the FAQ

How does this work?

Using your webcam, you train a machine learning algorithm (specificallyTensorflow.js) to recognize you touching your face and not touching your face. Once it's trained, it watches and alerts you when you touch your face.

Why shouldn't I touch my face?

TheCDC recommendsnot touching your face as one action you can take to prevent getting COVID-19. Other things you should do: stay home if you're sick and avoid contact with other sick people. But you probably knew that already.

The alerts aren't working!

Try refreshing the page and trying again. Every time you reload the page, the algorithm retrains itself.

Do you keep my information?

Nope. This entire site runs locallyall the calculations from your webcam and alerts are done on your computer and are never sent over the internet.

Will this stop me from getting COVID-19?

Not for sure, but it might help.

Machine Learning Patentability in 2019: 5 Cases Analyzed and Lessons Learned Part 3 - JD Supra

NEW YORK, March 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Spherix Incorporated (Nasdaq: SPEX) ("Spherix" or the "Company") today announced that on March 13, 2020, the Company will officially change its name to AIkido Pharma Inc. ("AIkido"). Effective at the start of trading on March 13, 2020, the Company's shares will trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the new name and the new stock symbol will be "AIKI". The name change reflects the Company's increased commitment to the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in the drug development space.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning ("AI/ML") is capable of increasing drug development efficiency and efficacy, while simultaneously decreasing the time and costs required to bring new drugs to market, according to the December 2019 Government Accountability Office ("GAO") report. Researchers are currently using machine learning to better identify novel drug targets, screen known compounds for new therapeutic applications and design new treatment candidates, among other applications. These improvements could save lives and reduce suffering by delivering drugs to patients quicker while allowing researchers to invest more resources into areas such as rare or orphan diseases.

Mr. Anthony Hayes, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, "Spherix has been transitioning itself into an innovative drug development company for some time and incorporating AI/ML has been a significant aspect of that development. AIkido Pharma Inc., with the use of the "AI" in the name "AIkido", is part of our effort to rebrand our company and focus our message of what we do. Moreover, AIkido is a martial art known for using an opponent's efforts against that opponent. Just like this martial art, we hope to develop technologies that allows humans to use cancer's own attributes against the disease."

Total annual healthcare spending in the United States is projected to reach nearly $6 trillion by 2027, according to the December 2019 GAO report. Every day, more than 10,000 Americans turn age 65, becoming eligible for Medicare. These demographic realities help illustrate the critical need to better address the effectiveness and efficiency of our nation's health care delivery systems.

Mr. Hayes continued, "The U.S. health care system is at an important crossroads as it faces major demographic shifts, burgeoning costs and transformative technologies. AIkido is committed to helping to address that critical need. We look forward to providing additional developments in the near future relating to our exciting inroads into AI/ML markets."

You may not know it, but machine learning and AI have pervaded our everyday lives and made it not just more convenient, but introduces new quality of life changes as well.

Predicting the Lottery

Before, it was very difficult to predict the next winning set of numbers in a lottery game as youll need a proven algorithm and the computing muscle of a powerful machine but that has changed with the emergence of artificial intelligence.

Today, predicting the results of an Arizona lottery are shown on websites such as The Lotto Pro. It uses both AI and machine learning for winning number recommendations, coupled with an advanced algorithm.

The site actually predicted the right numbers for the AZ lottery 2/25/2020 draw, which speaks a lot about its accuracy.

Knowing What Youre Searching For

Typing on a search query will result in a list of predictions that you can choose to save time. This feature draws on your past searches and artificial intelligence, along with personal details, age and location.

Search engines also get better over time as they collect data such as the length of time you spent on a page and your response when presented with a list of sites with your keyword.

AI Assistants

The rise of Siri, Google Assistant and Alexa have opened up ways on how we control technology. Without needing physical input, we can make our smart devices play music, turn on the lights, open the front door and more.

More than that, you can use these AI platforms to set up alarms, reminders and schedule meetings just like you would a real assistant.

Social Media

How you get your daily feed depend on AI and machine learning. Targeted ads, deleting inappropriate and offensive tweets and friend suggestions are all handled by an algorithm thats backed by artificial intelligence.
