I imagine there would be some overhead (e.g. each user transmitting a certain user-specific pattern every 1/2 second, and each AP transmitting a certain AP-specific pattern every 1…

The white paper is non-technical, but I think this is the gist: Currently, if you have multiple users and 1 access point (AP), the users split the bandwidth. Multiple APs and multi…

Hopefully this will improve on the algorithms they have in Lion (which seemed to work ever-so slightly better than OpenCV's face detection and work poorly on profile views).

A lot of the comments below are criticizing "irrational investors" that were "duped" or the product as "vaporware." This is not the case. Color had a very talented team attempting …

The implementation of these algorithms is relatively straightforward. The challenge is the state of the art in computer vision is not currently at a point where it is possible to r…

Great non-technical overview. What early-stage startups are working on these types of problems?

There is no such thing as a "best" data mining algorithm. Almost all the advantages you mentioned for decision trees, a form of recursive binary partitioning, applies to a greater …

Agree completely, had just copied the quote and was about to paste it to say the same thing. When we consider all the BS patents that have been rubber-stamped by the PTO, this is a…

First paragraph doesn't make since - if there are 5 flips, there are 2^5=32 possible outcomes. If the "odds are low that even one person in the audience guessed it" then I'd expect…

Phone carriers already have this data, and Facebook does as well every time you access their website over standard methods

I love this, a beautiful example of disruptive innovation: -Authors get up to 70%, as opposed to 5-15% -Far less trees are killed -Eliminates the role of the publisher / physical d…

This is yet another example of an absolutely ridiculous patent lawsuit, where companies that lose in the marketplace sue successful ones, costing both the companies and general pub…

That is important, but extremely challenging to execute for two reasons. 1. Historically, technology has outpaced the legal framework. Look at copyright law, software patents, and …

The argument that important ML algorithms should be highly scalable ( O(logN), O(N), O(NlogN) ) holds in fields that are rich in "big data," with millions to trillions of data poin…

F--- that. He approaches his position with humility, an understanding of what he doesn't know, and a desire to learn it. Instead of reveling in whatever success his startup has had…

Take any paper titled along the lines of "X predicts the stock market" with a big grain of salt. In this paper's case, the data analyzed is limited to under one year, and we never …

As an analogy, tablet devices took two decades and at least 5 attempts.

Where is the evidence that this document is valid? It may be, but it could just as easily be forged.

A platform to address some of the most challenging problems in machine learning & artificial intelligence. Just started prototyping and don't want to be more specific at this point…

Two days ago, I registered three URLs with Name.com. Yesterday, I woke up to find the URLs available / redirected to spam pages, and when I tried to log on, I received the message …
