Auto news on Youtube Nov 1 2018

If you're like us, you attend lots

of meetings with your boss, calls with your team,

maybe even video conferences with clients.

It can be a little daunting keeping track of it all.

What if there was a solution that brings together

AI and meetings?

I'm David Shaw.

And in this episode of AI News, we'll

look at a way to automate those tedious meeting

tasks you face each week.

A typical video conference call isn't very immersive.

In fact, when I think of conference calls,

I think about padded shoulders and 1980s office attire--

past the expiration date.

Imagine a solution that could modernize record

keeping by employing the latest AI guided recognition

technologies.

Let me paint a picture for you.

If you introduce an AI powered bot with facial and speaker

recognition tools, typical meeting activities

like recording comments and generating minutes

could be fully automated, capturing ideas and discussion

topics.

Intel senior staff researcher Jonathan Wang and Julio Zamora

came up with something that is just like that.

Combining their expertise, one in facial recognition

and the other in voice and speech recognition,

they developed a conference oriented multi-modal system

for reidentifying participants.

The system creates its own database

over the course of a video conference,

enrolling new users automatically and learning

on the fly how to recognize individuals

using a combination of speaker recognition

and facial recognition.

Jonathan and Julio took advantage of several Intel

technologies, the Intel Movidius vision processing unit, Intel

RealSense technology, and the eight microphone circular array

included in the Intel Speech Enabling Developer Kit.

These are, quote, "the perfect components

for this type of application because all you need

is good eyes, good ears, and an efficient brain.

Our algorithms are the glue that takes

advantage of these components to generate a complete solution."

Check out this article and read all about this success story,

including the technological milestones.

Thanks for watching.

and I'll see you next week.

After I put in the name, I hit Next.

How significant is your release?

On a scale from no one cares to the latest iPhone.

Okay, I'm going to say probably about a four.

I think the interest in meditation courses, especially for beginners is going to

be just a little bit higher. So I'm going to put it as a four.

Now that you've decided how significant your releases, you click Next.

No, I do not have a sales team.

How many employees are at your company?

We'll only recommend tasks that your team has a bandwidth for.

Well, since I'm a freelance video editor, and I work pretty much on my own,

I put 1 to 9.

And next.

What's your work email?

We'd love to follow up after launch to see how it went

and how we can improve.

So let's put in my business email.

There we go.

Software Engineering - Duration: 2:37.

At the moment, software is conquering the world.

We are moving toward a hyperconnected paradigm

in which information, data and software

can be found anywhere.

For instance, the concept of the smart city means that

we have a lot of devices,

and software can be in any of them.

And now software is going to be self-managed.

What does this mean?

Software will decide for itself what to do

and how to do it, when to send information, etc.

Without our help.

And this new paradigm creates opportunities

for our businesses.

They will be able to develop products

that couldn't be developed until now,

and they will be able to offer services

that couldn't be offered until now.

As you can see, our job isn't that simple.

We must understand, develop and maintain

many lines of code.

A line of code is an order we give to the processor.

The more orders we give,

the more complex and the bigger the software will be,

and the harder it will be to develop it and maintain it.

We are in contact with millions of lines of code every day.

For example, an elevator now has

half a million lines of code,

a car has 15 million, etc.

and they all have to be maintained.

To give you a better idea of what this means,

all Google services (Gmail, Google Maps, etc.)

have 2 billion lines of code.

If we printed all of them,

they would take up 36 million sheets of paper,

and if we piled them up, they would be 3.6 km high,

as tall as Mount Teide.

It seems as if our profession doesn't appeal much

to young people, and even less to women.

We're talking about a job without unemployment,

and the most important thing is that

our graduates have the opportunity to work in any area

of knowledge.

Making cars and elevators, or creating applications

for different sectors.

This is the biggest challenge for our businesses

to promote competitiveness:

to attract women and young people

to software engineering.
