Deep Dive: How AI, ML Can Harness Dynamic Rules To Improve QSR Fraud Detection And Reduce False Positives
Posted on May 19, 2020 Mobile ordering fraud is a constant struggle for QSRs, with bad actors leveraging account takeovers (ATOs) and social engineering to steal money or hijack customers’ personal data. Consumers are also concerned about security, with a 2019 survey finding that 62 percent of QSR customers feared that using mobile ordering apps…
Apple buys machine learning specialist Inductiv to bolster Siri, AI projects
Adding to a mounting number of artificial intelligence-related acquisitions, Apple in the past few weeks purchased Ontario-based Inductiv to work on Siri and machine learning initiatives. Apple confirmed the buy in a boilerplate statement to Bloomberg, saying it “buys smaller technology companies from time to time and we generally do not discuss our purpose or…

Using artificial intelligence to detect COVID-19 in X-rays
Credit: CC0 Public Domain Students at Cranfield University have designed computer models that can identify COVID-19 in X-rays. The models use computer vision and artificial intelligence (AI) to analyse chest X-ray imagery. It can classify information which would not normally be recognised with the naked eye and assist with the diagnosis of COVID-19. A common…
Researchers use drones, machine learning to detect dangerous ‘butterfly’ landmines – Science Daily
Using advanced machine learning, drones could be used to detect dangerous “butterfly” landmines in remote regions of post-conflict countries, according to research from Binghamton University, State University at New York. Researchers at Binghamton University had previously developed a method that allowed for highly accurate detection of “butterfly” landmines using low-cost commercial drones equipped with infrared…
