Global Sisters Want To Set Up Hub To Empower Coffs Coast Women In Business – News Of The Area

Posted: March 31, 2021 at 3:43 am

Global Sisters Helen Thomson (L) and Mandy Richards want to support local women.

WOMENs issues have been highlighted in recent times so it was fortuitous that Global Sisters introduced themselves to the Coffs Harbour community at the Success Hub in Sawtell last week.

Global Sisters aims to make business possible for women, enabling them to be financially resilient and stand tall.

The organisation began in 2016 and launched nationally in 2019.

It seeks to remove the structural and systemic barriers women commonly face to make self-employment a viable option for women.

This occurs through Regional Hubs and a digital, remote access program for Air Sisters to tap into a national collective.

Coffs Harbour City Councillor Tegan Swan facilitated an information session with founders Mandy Richards and Heather Thomson for local women who represent groups that work with women in the Coffs Harbour community.

Ms Richards and Ms Thomson talked about Global Sisters innovative approach to supporting women from the earliest stage of business ideation, providing long-term, end-to-end support and assisting with the launching and growing of their businesses.

They told the audience there is not a level playing field, and spoke about addressing the multiple systemic and personal barriers women face to successfully establish and grow a business.

Global sisters has three stages of support over a 3+ year roadmap.

Initially, they provide education about generating business ideas and how to launch a business.

There is a second stage of education about the tools, networks, coaching and microfinance to help women gain momentum in their business.

The final stage is to support women through education about business growth.

Ms Richards said, Global sisters is a one stop shop for business support for women.

She told the audience that Global Sisters aims to provide alternatives for women to generate their own income.

They are hoping to establish a hub in Coffs Harbour that starts from the ground up.

The presenters want advocates for womens business empowerment in the local community to tap into the Global Sisters network and use their tools to help women grow sustainable businesses from their ideas.

Ms Thomson said, Community is the glue to hold it all together.

Food and diet may play a role in preventing dementia – Food Business News

Posted: at 3:42 am

KANSAS CITY A personal experience highlights the horrific ugliness of dementia. The precipitous cognitive decline of a loved one shakes family members and leaves all who bear witness asking, Will this be me one day? The food and beverage industry may be in position to play a role in prevention and offer a reassuring response.

There is no single definition of dementia. It is a group of conditions and diseases characterized by the impairment of cognitive functions. The impairment may be slight or so disruptive as to make independent living impossible. The likelihood of dementia increases with time, and as people live longer, the incidence of dementia has increased.

The scale of the problem dementia poses to aging populations around the world has prompted an urgent search for solutions. Medical researchers are exploring treatments to treat, prevent or slow the progression of dementia-related conditions, but, to date, cures or effective treatments have proven elusive. Shelves at retailers are full of supplements claiming to sharpen ones focus or maintain cognitive function. Even video games featuring puzzles of all sorts are marketed to exercise the mind.

Food companies see opportunity and are investing in developing products to maintain or even improve cognitive focus. Examples include ingredients such as adaptogens, nootropics, citicoline and others.

Medical research continues, and the effectiveness of supplements and games is anecdotal. Efforts to prove the effectiveness of food and beverage products specifically formulated to maintain or improve cognitive function also are in a nascent phase.

While the search for successful treatments proceeds, prevention through diet is an avenue generating interest. Studies suggest what we eat affects whether the aging brain remains healthy, according to the National Institute on Aging, a department of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Two dietary patterns the NIH identifies as promising are the Mediterranean and the MIND (Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay) diets. The Mediterranean diet emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, fish and seafood, unsaturated fats, and small amounts of red meat, eggs and sweets. The MIND diet is a variation of the Mediterranean diet that also emphasizes reducing the incidence of hypertension, a risk factor for Alzheimers disease.

The studies supporting the benefits of the Mediterranean and MIND diets are observational. Those supporting the Mediterranean diet compared cognitively normal people who ate a Mediterranean diet with those who ate a Western-style diet, which contains more red meat, saturated fats and sugar. Evidence supporting the MIND diet comes from observational studies of more than 900 dementia-free older adults, which found that closely following the diet was associated with a reduced risk of Alzheimers disease and a slower rate of cognitive decline.

A challenge in promoting many health and wellness regimens or the benefits of functional ingredients is meeting consumer expectations for results they are able to readily perceive. It is a hurdle those marketing products for bone density or digestive health must regularly overcome.

But products and regimens promoting the prevention of dementia may be different. The motivation to prevent such an outcome is immeasurably strong once one witnesses the full effects of a loved ones cognitive decline. Interest in prevention will grow as more people endure the experience.

Artificial Intelligence Is Learning To Categorize And Talk About Art – Forbes

Posted: at 3:40 am

Its hard enough for people to categorize or discuss art, but its even more difficult for artificial intelligence. Several research groups have recently tried to apply machine learning to large databases of artworks to sort and describe them in a meaningful way.

First, researchers from Zhejiang University of Technology in Hangzhou, China, compared different neural networks to find out how well they perform at art classification. They used images from WikiArt and other digital collections to train the neural networks to learn what images of a certain art style look like. Then they asked the different neural network models to identify the art style of other images.

This is quite a tricky task, even for humans. Some art styles are easy to recognize from the way the image is created. Learning which artworks fall under the cubism genre wasnt a problem for the neural networks. But some genres are quite similar to each other and occurred around the same time. That made it difficult for the programs to learn which is which.

Vincent van Gogh's "Starry Night", seen here at an exhibit in Berlin, Germany, was one of the images ... [+] used in a study to categorize art using artificial intelligence. (Photo Sean Gallup/Getty Images)

The art classification neural networks also had trouble with tasks that humans wouldnt find very difficult at all, such as understanding the difference between cityscapes and landscapes. The difference between buildings and nature is obvious to us, but to a computer, they both look like images with similar elements of outside. It doesnt have a way of knowing that the clouds and sky in these images are not the key defining factor of these two categories.

For human art lovers, learning which style or category a piece of art falls in is a relatively straightforward and objective task. Like the neural networks, we can learn how to do that by looking at a lot of art and finding patterns. But theres something humans do that computers dont: we also form opinions about the art and can share in words how looking at it makes us feel. Computers cant do that yet - or can they?

Artificial intelligence is only as good as its training data, so to be able to teach an AI to form opinions and emotional statements about art, you need a vast collection of human-created descriptions of different artworks. Thats exactly what researchers from Stanford University, Ecole Polytechnique and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology have done. They created the ArtEmis dataset which includes over 400 thousand emotional attributes and descriptions for over 80 thousand images indexed in WikiArt.

To create ArtEmis, the team asked volunteers to share their main emotion about an artwork, and to explain that in a sentence. As you would expect, peoples reactions varied widely. One person might find a painting of a field peaceful while someone else finds it slightly ominous. In fact, having both positive and negative reactions to the same painting was so common, this happened to 61% of the images in the ArtEmis database.

So what does an AI make of all those human descriptions of art? When trained on the ArtEmis dataset, different systems started creating their own captions for given artworks. Some of them were very convincing, but others missed the mark. AI-generated descriptions of Rembrandts painting The Beheading of John the Baptist included the woman looks like she is having a good time and the man in the middle looks like he is in pain. Any human would recognize these descriptions as complete nonsense (or at the very least a major understatement) considering the scene in the painting.

An AI algorithm creating descriptions of images based on replicating human emotion said of ... [+] Rembrant's "The Beheading of John the Baptist" that the woman looks like she is having a good time and the man in the middle looks like he is in pain.

About half of the computer-generated descriptions passed the Turing test, which means that AIs can indeed learn to create new (and believable) descriptions of art, but its still far from perfect. Thats not surprising, considering its already a challenge to teach an AI whether a painting is a landscape or a cityscape.

Art can be hard to classify and peoples opinions about paintings are highly subjective, which makes it even harder for artificial intelligence to understand the patterns of our classifications and descriptions. But the experiments done in these two new studies show that computers are getting better at these tasks. Humans are still better at categorising and describing art, but AI programs are learning quickly.

Google Maps using artificial intelligence to help point people in the right direction – ZDNet

Posted: at 3:40 am

Boasting that it is on track to bring over 100 "AI-powered" improvements to Google Maps, Google has announced a series of updates that have been or are set to be released in the coming year.

The first is adding Live View, a feature that uses augmented reality cues -- arrows and accompanying directions -- to help point people in the right way and avoid the "awkward moment when you're walking the opposite direction of where you want to go".

According to Google Maps product VP Dane Glasgow, Live View relies on AI technology, known as global localisation, to scan "tens of billions" of Street View images to help understand a person's orientation, as well as the precise altitude and placement of an object inside a building, such as an airport, transit station, or shopping centre, before providing directions.

"If you're catching a plane or train, Live View can help you find the nearest elevator and escalators, your gate, platform, baggage claim, check-in counters, ticket office, restrooms, ATMs and more. And if you need to pick something up from the mall, use Live View to see what floor a store is on and how to get there so you can get in and out in a snap," Glasgow explained in a post.

For now, the indoor Live View feature is available on Android and iOS in a number of shopping centres in the US across Chicago, Long Island, Los Angeles, Newark, San Francisco, San Jose, and Seattle, with plans to expand it to a select number of airports, shopping centres, and transit stations in Tokyo and Zurich. More cities will also be added, Glasgow confirmed.

Glasgow added commuters will be able to view the current and forecast temperature and weather conditions, as well as the air quality in an area through Google Maps, made possible through data shared by Google partners such as The Weather Company, AirNow.gov, and the Central Pollution Board. To be available on Android and iOS, the weather layer will be made available globally, while the air quality layer will launch in Australia, the US, and India, with plans to see it expanded in other countries.

On the environment, Glasgow also noted that Google is building a new routing model using insights from the US Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Lab to help deliver more eco-friendly route options, based on factors like road incline and traffic congestion, for commuters in the US on Android and iOS. The model will be available later this year, with plans for global expansion at an unspecified later date.

Glasgow said the move is part of the company's commitment to reduce its environmental footprint.

"Soon, Google Maps will default to the route with the lowest carbon footprint when it has approximately the same ETA as the fastest route. In cases where the eco-friendly route could significantly increase your ETA, we'll let you compare the relative CO2 impact between routes so you can choose," he said.

In further efforts to meet its sustainability commitment, the tech giant also plans to introduce in "coming months" an updated version of Maps where commuters will have a view of all routes and transportation modes available to their destination, without toggling between tabs, while also automatically prioritising a user's preferred transport mode or modes that are popular in their city.

"For example, if you bike a lot, we'll automatically show you more biking routes. And if you live in a city like New York, London, Tokyo, or Buenos Aires where taking the subway is popular, we'll rank that mode higher," Glasgow said.

Also, within Maps, Google said it is teaming up with US supermarket Fred Meyer to pilot in select stores in Portland, Oregon a feature that has been designed to make contactless grocery pickup easier, including notifying commuters what time to leave to pick up their groceries, share the arrival time with the store, and allow customers to "check-in" on the Google Maps app so their grocery orders can be brought out to their car on arrival.

The Future of AI: Careers in Machine Learning – Southern New Hampshire University

Posted: at 3:40 am

The robots are coming. If there is one thing we learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, its that when humans are sent home, machines keep working.

This doesnt mean that robots will take over the world. It does, however, mean that our technical landscape is changing.

Human history has a long and favorable track record of technological advancements, particularly when it comes to ideas that seem ludicrous at the time (Wright brothers, anyone?). The printing press, assembly line and personal computer have all helped move civilization forward by leaps and bounds over the last few centuries.

Imagine being one of the first people to replace glasses with contact lenses by putting them directly on their eyes, no less. Henry Ford replaced horses with the automobile as our main mode of transportation. The process of pasteurization changed the way we eat. Examples like these are endless, because throughout human history, there has been innovation and change.

Even as recently as the 1980s, there was no internet in peoples homes. The very means by which you are reading this article did not exist. Online school did not exist, at least not in the way we take college classes online now.

And while each technological advancement may have its detractors, its hard to argue with the benefits of technology as a whole. After all, thinking big got us to the moon, and gave us television, 3-D printing and a host of incredible advances in modern medicine.

So, are you wondering whats next? The future of technology lies squarely with machine learning and with artificial intelligence, known as AI.

Artificial intelligence is part of the field of data science. People who work in data science are skilled in developing mathematical algorithms to answer complex questions. When, for example, a company like Netflix wants to predict what movies a customer might want to watch next, a data scientist will create an algorithm based on that customers viewing history. Then, they will use that algorithm to offer a list of suggestions.

Machine learning is a branch of data science which involves using data science programs that can adapt based on experience, said Ben Tasker, technical program facilitator of data science and data analytics at Southern New Hampshire University. Take a weather predictor, for example. The more weather inputs there are, the better the prediction for what will come next.

While machine learning is useful, its important to note that there is no artificial intelligence involved in its functions. Machine learning involves rote mathematical or mechanical processes only.

Artificial intelligence then advances data science and machine learning even further.

Whereas machine learning can make predictions, artificial intelligence can make adjustments to its computations. In other words, AI can adjust a program to execute tasks smartly, Tasker said. For example, a fully autonomous, self-driving car is an example of something that would use full artificial intelligence.

These days, the idea of such a self-driving car is no longer science fiction. As the fields of science and engineering continue to advance, artificial intelligence is becoming a lot less artificial and a lot more intelligent, Tasker said.

Because so much about the field of data science in general and AI in particular is new, there are many opportunities to make your own niche, especially now that many companies have started to invest in the idea of artificial intelligence, Tasker said. This creates a wealth of career opportunities for those who thrive on charting their own path. The future of AI is great.

Careers for computer information and research scientists are predicted to grow 15% between now and 2029, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). That is much faster than the national average for career growth. The median pay is a healthy $122,840 per year, BLS reported.

Some other top career options for machine learning and artificial intelligence include:

So, will robots replace humans moving forward? For some jobs or tasks, quite possibly. For all jobs or tasks? Not likely.

Of course, robots are already in the workplace, Tasker said. They are not intelligent, but they perform basic tasks. Car manufacturers use robots on assembly lines already and have for years.

Whether a company actively uses artificial intelligence or not, all industries will be impacted by it, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Tasker said. I do think that some industries will have a higher barrier of entry, so to speak, such as medicine, he said. Patients still prefer a human touch for things like receiving a diagnosis or test results.

As artificial technology continues to develop, humans will need to have an ethical debate about what robots can and cannot do, but yes, we will see more robots, said Tasker.

And as use of robots grows, without a doubt, ethics is going to play a much larger role as AI grows, said Tasker, or at least it should.

Careers in machine learning and artificial intelligence are still being defined, which creates generous opportunities to innovate and carve your own career path. If you like math, computer programming, coding, and technology in general, a career in data science, machine learning, or AI is definitely one to consider.

Having a strong foundation in math and STEM can help prepare you for a career in AI. Knowledge of psychology will be particularly helpful, too.

Also important: a large threshold for change. Data science [and AI with it] changes every year, Tasker said, so the people working in data science will need to change with it. You will always be learning new technologies, algorithms, and coding languages.

The more math, programming, and experience with cloud computing that you can get under your belt, the better.

And, as more and more adoption of artificial intelligence technologies occur, we will begin to see an ethical debate emerge about what AI should and should not be doing, Tasker said. That makes courses in ethics critical, because "as the field of AI grows, more ethical considerations will need to be applied."

Keep in mind that while a bachelors degreeis a great foundation on which to build a career in artificial intelligence, an advanced degree is likely necessary to advance to the highest levels in the field.

Most jobs in the field of artificial intelligence require a graduate degree, such as a master of science or even doctorate, so be ready to continually learn, said Tasker.

While no career is truly future-proof given the ever-changing technology landscape, there are some ways you can be best prepared to weather the change. By grounding yourself with a strong science, math, and engineering background and then being ready to drive change, you may enjoy a long and prosperous career in the field of artificial intelligence.

Of course, while having a strong academic background is important, being good at math and programming is not enough. To really thrive in this career-field, you also need good, old-fashioned grit. In fact, curiosity, grit, and being humble are key traits toward having a successful, long-term career in data science, and especially in artificial intelligence, said Tasker. These are traits that you cannot necessarily learn in the classroom, but are helpful to being successful in this field long-term.

We have actually been using AI for some time, and not just in factories and on assembly lines, or to design futuristic cars.

Have you ever filled out a job application and included key words so that the artificial job screening tool doesnt filter you out of contention? Thats artificial intelligence.

Some artificial intelligence programs can even scan how a resume is drafted to see personality traits of an applicant, said Tasker. Other programs use facial recognition, which scans your facial expressions in an interview to create personality profiles of applicants.

Likewise, if you have ever used a website and a chat bot popped up, saying How can I help you today? that is also artificial intelligence. If youve ever thought you were chatting with a real, live human only to be informed that youre chatting with a bot, you already know just how realistic artificial intelligence tools already are in the business and retail world.

Chat bots and virtual assistants are being routinely used to respond to easy emails, schedule appointments, and even take meeting notes for users, Tasker said. While at times, being on the receiving end of using a bot can be frustrating, many businesses use them because they can perform repetitive tasks that have some known outcomes, such as which department your query needs to be routed to when you contact customer service for a company.

There are limitations currently, though. While chat bots can accomplish a surprisingly large number of tasks, they cannot operate your Tesla, for example, said Tasker.

With high return-on-investment to using chat bots and interview bots, the use of artificial intelligence in commerce is not likely to go away anytime soon. If anything, the use of AI will continue to grow in new and innovative ways.

With an increased use in artificial intelligence comes an increase in the conversation about how it should be implemented. This is where a background in psychologycould be helpful for people working in this field. "Psychology is important because it teaches a student how the human brain works, which is complicated," said Tasker. "To really learn to program AI, learning how the brain works at some basic level would help as well."

Just because a chat-bot can attend a meeting for an employee, does that mean that we should also make a bot that can perform medical exams? Where is the line? What about facilitating a classroom and teaching our children? Tasker asked. "What about fully autonomous truck driving?"

Is there a line between what we need versus what we can do? And where does focusing on the bottom line financially begin to cost us when it comes to our humanity?

These are big questions for which there are no easy answers. Yet by studying data science, math and STEM, and by embracing the change inherent in the field of machine learning and artificial intelligence, you just might be the next Wilbur or Orville Wright.

This is what happens when artificial intelligence meets emotional intelligence – The Hindu

Posted: at 3:40 am

(Subscribe to our Today's Cache newsletter for a quick snapshot of top 5 tech stories. Click here to subscribe for free.)

Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) over the years has become foundational technology in autonomous vehicles and security systems. Now, a team of researchers at the University of Stanford are teaching computers to recognise not just what objects are in an image, but also how those images make people feel.

The team has trained an algorithm to recognise emotional intent behind great works of art like Vincent Van Goghs Starry Night and James Whistlers Whistlers Mother.

The ability will be key to making AI not just more intelligent, but more human, a researcher said in the study titled ArtEmis: Affective Language for Visual Art.

Also Read | Artificial Intelligence knows when you feel lonely

The team built a database of 81,000 WikiArt paintings and over 4 lakh written responses from 6,500 humans indicating how they felt about a painting. This included their reason for choosing a particular emotion. The team used the responses to train AI to generate emotional responses to visual art and justify those emotions in language.

The algorithm dissected the artists work into one of eight emotional categories including awe, amusement, sadness and fear. It then explained in written text what it is in the image that justifies the emotion.

The model is said to interpret any form of art, including still life, portraits and abstraction. It also takes into account the subjectivity of art, meaning that not everyone feels the same way about a piece of work, the team noted.

The tool can be used by artists, especially graphic designers, to evaluate if their work is having the desired impact.

Can Artificial Intelligence Replace Human Therapists? – The Wall Street Journal

Posted: at 3:40 am

Could artificial intelligence reduce the need for human therapists?

Websites, smartphone apps and social-media sites are dispensing mental-health advice, often using artificial intelligence. Meanwhile, clinicians and researchers are looking to AI to help define mental illness more objectively, identify high-risk people and ensure quality of care.

Some experts believe AI can make treatment more accessible and affordable. There has long been a severe shortage of mental-health professionals, and since the Covid pandemic, the need for support is greater than ever. For instance, users can have conversations with AI-powered chatbots, allowing them to get help anytime, anywhere, often for less money than traditional therapy.

The algorithms underpinning these endeavors learn by combing through large amounts of data generated from social-media posts, smartphone data, electronic health records, therapy-session transcripts, brain scans and other sources to identify patterns that are difficult for humans to discern.

Despite the promise, there are some big concerns. The efficacy of some products is questionable, a problem only made worse by the fact that private companies dont always share information about how their AI works. Problems about accuracy raise concerns about amplifying bad advice to people who may be vulnerable or incapable of critical thinking, as well as fears of perpetuating racial or cultural biases. Concerns also persist about private information being shared in unexpected ways or with unintended parties.
