Find the missing number
1, 4, 9, 16, 25, ?
And I am sure, you would have guessed the correct answer which is 36. It's a series of squares of
natural numbers. But how did you arrive at 36? This calculation must have taken place inside your brain
cells and the technique you used to decipher this puzzle, has actually helped you to decode Machine
Learning (ML).
That’s exactly the kind of behaviour that we are trying to teach the machines. ‘Learn from experience’ is
what we want machines to acquire.
Dynamic Waves in AI Research
Following are some of the latest inventions in the history of AI:
1. LaMDA: It's the latest breakthrough in natural language
understanding. It's a language model for dialogue
applications and its open domain, which means its design
to converse on any open-end topic. It's still in research and
development, it's being explored for novel interactions.
2. Google Duplex: It is a technology powering a new Google
Assistant feature. It is a fully automated free system that can
make calls for you, mimicking the human voice, speak on your
behalf and book a table. It uses natural sounding human voice
instead of a robotic one.
3. Eva by HDFC Bank: To support Village Level Entrepreneurs
(VLEs) in providing banking services, HDFC Bank has launched
chatbot Eva. It provides 24x7 services about HDFC bank
products and services to the last mile customer. This will give
access to banking services to rural India. Eva has addressed
over 3 million queries, interacted with over a million users
and held a million conversations.
