In this wide-ranging essay, the leader of Google’s Seattle AI group and founder of the Artists and Machine Intelligence program discusses the long-standing and complex relationship between art and technology. The transformation of artistic practice and theory that attended the 19th century photographic revolution is explored as a parallel for the current revolution in machine intelligence, whic...

Lattice-valued entropy functions defined by a lattice-valued possibilistic distribution π on a space Ω are defined as the expected value (in the sense of Sugeno integral) of the complement of the value π(ω) with ω ranging over Ω. The analysis is done in parallel for two alternative interpretations of the notion of complement in the complete lattice in question. Supposing that this complete latt...

Analyzing data to find trends, correlations, and stable patterns is an important problem for many industrial applications. In this paper, we propose a new technique based on parallel coordinates visualization. Previous work on parallel coordinates methods has shown that they are effective only when variables that are correlated and/or show similar patterns are displayed adjacently. Although cur...

Using two rice genotypes as a test system (OP1505 and OP1509), the aim of this study was to develop an agronomic workflow for Se biofortification through foliar fertilization (with sodium selenate selenite). During process, state culture (slope, surface drainage, water lines normalized differences vegetation index—NDVI), using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles synchronized by global positioning (GPS) fu...

Recently, we have demonstrated a new and efficient method to simultaneously reconstruct two unknown interfering wavefronts. A three-dimensional interference pattern was analyzed and then Zernike polynomials and the stochastic parallel gradient descent algorithm were used to expand and calculate wavefronts. In this paper, as one of the applications of this method, the reflected wavefronts from t...

The development of parallel batch pattern back propagation training algorithm of multilayer perceptron and its scalability research on general-purpose parallel computer are presented in this paper. The model of multilayer perceptron and batch pattern training algorithm are theoretically described. The algorithmic description of the parallel batch pattern training method is presented. The scalab...

Explaining the extent, causes, and consequences of biotic distributions in space is fundamental to our understanding of how species evolve and cope with particular environments. Yet, identifying extrinsic barriers to migration imposed by landscape structure and predicting their impacts on intraspecific genetic diversity remains a major challenge in population biology. In this study, 30 populati...

Penetration of surface meltwater to the bed of the Greenland Ice Sheet each summer causes an initial increase in ice speed due to elevated basal water pressure, followed by slowdown in late summer that continues into fall and winter. While this seasonal pattern is commonly explained by an evolution of the subglacial drainage system from an inefficient distributed to efficient channelized config...
