Workshop on AI for Diabetes
The Second Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for Diabetes will take place on 24 June 2017 as part of the 16th Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (AIME) in Vienna, Austria. The primary goal of the AID workshop is to facilitate discussion among different researchers actively engaged in finding Artificial Intelligence-based solutions to problems associated with diabetes. The complexity of this chronic illness has lead Artificial Intelligence (AI) to become a…
Human intuition added to planning algorithms
Researchers are trying to improve automated planners by giving them the benefit of human intuition. By encoding the strategies of high-performing human planners in a machine-readable form, they were able to improve the performance of planning algorithms by 10 to 15 percent on a challenging set of problems. For more, see here.
