Machine Learning: Can Algorithms Become a Crystal Ball for Future Events?

By Dick Weisinger

In Isaac Asimov’s classic science fiction series Foundation, mathematics, statistics, history, and sociology have all progressed and consolidated into a field called psychohistory. Psychohistory is able to predict long-term future trends and changes in society. In Asimov’s book the statistical

Neuron Codes: How Does Human Cognition Really Work?

By Dick Weisinger

How does the human brain work? Computer scientists are working to transfer intelligence to machines, but there is still very much not well understood about how the human brain works, particularly how does the brain store information. Understanding more completely

Data Poisoning: Machine Learning Susceptible to Manipulation by Hackers

By Dick Weisinger

Data poisoning is the alteration or manipulation of Machine Language (ML) training data. While the amount of data changed may be small, it may be enough to both avoid detection and to bias the algorithm into favoring a particular result.

Machine Learning: Better Data is Always Better

By Dick Weisinger

How much data do you need to generate good Machine Learning results? The answer is that it depends. It depends greatly on the complexity of your problem and the ML algorithm that you are using to solve it. For example,

Machine Learning: Predicting Material Properties

By Dick Weisinger

Scientists are increasingly pairing machine learning with physics and chemistry laws to predict physical phenomenon, like protein folding and structures, and the prediction of material properties. A team of scientists at Sandia National Laboratories found that by using Machine Learning
