A radical new technique lets AI learn with practically no data
Machine learning typically requires tons of examples. To get an AI model to recognize a horse, you need to show it thousands of images of horses. This is what makes the technology computationally expensive—and very different from human learning. A child often needs to see just a few examples of an object, or even only one, before being able to recognize it for life.Machine LearningArtificial IntelligenceTechniqueThe University Of WaterlooBig DataMathematical ModelsImage DataNeural NetworksMontreal AI Ethics InstituteIlia SucholutskyTongzhou WangRyan KhuranaAI ModelsData DistillationPrecise PatternsRead Full Story

10 Facts About Sagamore Hill, Theodore Roosevelt's Home
Fleeing Manhattan for the country is a tradition that wealthy New Yorkers have partaken in for centuries—and our 26th president, Theodore Roosevelt, was no exception. Starting when he was a teen, TR and his family would retreat to Long Island for the summer, and as an adult, he built his own home there: Sagamore Hill, which became his permanent home after his presidency. In honor of what would be TR’s 162nd birthday, here are 10 facts about Sagamore Hill, of which Roosevelt once wrote, “there isn't any place in the world like home—like Sagamore Hill.”Read Full Story Long IslandManhattanGovernor Of New YorkSagamore Hill (house)PhilippinesNorth BayMassachusetts BayRooseveltsNational Park ServiceNavyCowboys & IndiansLamb And RichSagamore MohannisEdithLeeholmTheodore RooseveltEleanor RooseveltTakahira KogorōHenry Cabot Lodge

2020 Daily Trail Markers: Why not make Election Day a national holiday?
Voting for many is burdensome. Americans wait in line for hours to vote. Celebrities urge followers to make a voting plan in order to accommodate the inconveniences of voting. How can it be made easier? Some, mostly Democrats and voting rights advocates, believe Election Day should be a holiday. But when CBS News campaign reporter Cara Korte looked into the topic, voting experts urged that declaring Election Day a federal holiday wouldn't solve any of the frustrating problems we're seeing today. In fact, it might lead to further congestion at polling places. 'I'm not a fan,' said Eddie Perez, an election administration and election technology expert at the Open Source Election Technology (OSET) Institute. He said it's more important to spread voting out over a period of days and methods. Concentrating voters into a single day risks congesting polling places, even more so than some already are. Early and at-home voting 'helps prevent bottlenecks for election administrators because it 'flattens the curve' for when ballots are cast by large numbers of voters,' Perez said. Executive director and founder of the Center for Election Innovation & Research David Becker argues that increasing turnout is a nuanced problem that can't be fixed by declaring a holiday. Like Perez, Becker thinks giving voters more time and opportunity to vote is the best approach. 'We already know how to make voting convenient to voters -- that's by offering them options, like making an election season rather than election day,' he said. 'And we actually have more options than ever before.'Read Full Story SuffrageWhite HouseGrand CanyonElection NightPolling PlacesNational PollingEarly VotingCNNCDCWorking Families PartyCongressional DistrictNBCAmber IntegratedData OrbitalLas Vegas Review-JournalDonald TrumpJoe BidenJohn KatkoAmy Coney BarrettMax RoseKendra HornBill StepienDavid BeckerBarbara CegavskeHillary ClintonMark MeadowsRuben GallegoMike PenceStephanie BiceKaren PenceSteven WilliamsRob Ryan
