Out of sight and out of mind, machine learning is becoming a part of our everyday life, in applications ranging from face detection features in airport security cameras, to speech recognition and automatic translation software such as Google Translate, to virtual assistants like Google Now. Our very own Gary Sims had a nice introduction to machine learning which is available to watch here. In scientific applications, machine learning is becoming a cardinal tool for analyzing what is called “Big Data”: information from hundreds of millions of observations with hidden structures which could be literally impossible for us to understand without access to the computational abilities of supercomputers.

Your pictures are like hard copies of our life’s memories. As we age, we begin to compile hundreds of pictures and group them into albums. Sometimes we find it hard to search through a number of albums just to look for a certain picture–but, not if we have the right tool on our Android phone.

DeepMind, the AI research firm that is owned by Google’s parent company Alphabet, has created a computer that can learn and accomplish tasks from its own memory. The computer uses a neural network that can store and recall facts. This allows it to, for example, find the best route from one point to another on London’s famed Underground subway without any prior programming.

Chinese smartphone manufacturer Gionee has unveiled two new handsets this week – the Gionee W909 flip phone and a super mid-tier S8. While flip phones might not be so popular in Western countries any more, there’s still demand for these handsets in China, India, and other Asian markets. Leakers and benchmarkers have been prognosticating the W909’s specs for a while now and it turns out that there’s some pretty reasonable hardware packed into this clamshell.

The mobile gaming world is ever-ramping up as more and more developers are starting to consider the Android operating system a serious gaming platform. However, there’s only just so much immersion you can get on a tiny screen (unless you go the VR route). That’s why Google is trying to convince developers to make their games more friendly to televisions via Chromecast. They’ve even released a plugin to simplify the process: the Google Chromecast Remote Display plugin.
