How Machine Learning Will Change Augmented Reality

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-can't-even-people-learn dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Augmented reality is already adding digital information to the world around us — but the next step to making it truly useful will be when it starts to use elements of machine learning to understand the real world, Mike Lynch, boss of machine learning software specialist Autonomy told silicon.com — also explaining machine learnings links with the theorems devised by 18th century cleric Thomas Bayes."

    This leads me to pimp my favorite new site/game/lesson... what is this? It's cool, that's all. Check out this neat implementation of a genetic algorithm to produce a cool demonstration computer-generated evolution: http://www.boxcar2d.com/

  2. Newton's Laws? by VirginMary · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I think you meant Asimov's Laws of robotics! I doubt classical physics has anything to do with it.

      No, no. Learn your history. It's Asimov's version of Newton's Laws.

      The full form goes something like:

      1. Every robot must remain in a state of constantly not injuring humans or causing them to become injured through the robot's state of rest.

      2. Any robot, subject to a force in the form of an order by a human undergoes an acceleration in the form of obeying the order as long as it does not contradict the first law.

      3. The mutual forces of action and reaction between a robot and another object must not allow that other object to end the existence of the robot, provided this doesn't conflict with the first two laws.

      I think that's it. Wikipedia probably has the full version.

    "current state of it is pathetic"
    AI beats humans at chess and jeopardy. It solves difficult puzzles much quicker than you or I could. Maybe it's "pathetic" compared to what you would like it to be, but it's far from pathetic.

    "there is no significant research going on"
    Please do the tiniest bit of research before posting garbage like this. Again though, you include another relative term like "significant" to cover yourself.

    Lame post.

    That's because John Conner has come back from the future and saved us at the last possible moment from significant breakthroughs in AI research no less than 17 times now, you ingrate!
