TAT's Recognizr: Augmented Identity

Clipped from: Technology Review: Augmented Identity

Augmented Identity

A new app makes it possible to identify people and learn about them just by pointing your phone.

An application that lets users point a smart phone at a stranger and immediately learn about them premiered last Tuesday at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. Developed by The Astonishing Tribe (TAT), a Swedish mobile software and design firm, the prototype software combines computer vision, cloud computing, facial recognition, social networking, and augmented reality.

IBM's Brain-Like Computers

IBM to build brain-like computers

IBM has announced it will lead a US government-funded collaboration to make electronic circuits that mimic brains.

Mimicking synapses like this one is crucial to the effort

Part of a field called "cognitive computing", the research will bring together neurobiologists, computer and materials scientists and psychologists.

IBM gets DARPA cognitive computing contract

IBM and several university partners have gotten a DARPA grant to work on a cognitive computing project designed to simulate the brain's sensation, action, interaction, perception and cognition abilities. At the same time, the project's leaders will be attempting to recreate the brain's low-power consumption and size.

According to Dharmendra Modha, the manager of IBM's cognitive computing initiative, the idea is for him and his team to try to re-create the brain's perception, cognitive, sensation, interaction, and action abilities, while also simulating its efficient size and low-power consumption.

"The mind has an uncanny ability to integrate information from a variety of sensors, such as sight, hearing, touch, smell and can create categories of time, space and interrelationships effortlessly," said Modha. "There are no computers that can even remotely approach the capabilities of the mind. The mind arises from the wetware of the brain."

If we succeed, then we will be able to give birth to novel cognitive systems, computing architectures, programming paradigms and numerous practical applications and perhaps to entirely new industries. IBM press release captures it nicely. “The end goal: ubiquitously deployed computers imbued with a new intelligence that can integrate information from a variety of sensors and sources, deal with ambiguity, respond in a context-dependent way, learn over time and carry out pattern recognition to solve difficult problems based on perception, action and cognition in complex, real-world environments.”

HP realizes the Memristor -- The missing fourth fundamental circuit element

Scientists of Hewlett-Packard demonstrated recently realizations of a new fundamental circuit element, the so called memristor, or memory resistor, If commercialized, it could lead to very dense, energy-efficient memory chips.

The Mysterious Memristor

Researchers at HP have solved the 37-year mystery of the memory resistor, the missing 4th circuit element.

Chua deduced the existence of memristors from the
mathematical relationships between the circuit elements.

Chua proposed the memristor purely for the mathematical
aesthetics of it, as a class of circuit element based on
a relationship between charge and flux.

HP nano device implements memristor

HP Labs has made a nano-scale device which stores data, explains previous anomalies in nano-device characteristics, and may be able to act as a synapse in analogue neural networks. It is also the first physical implementation of the memristor, claims HP, a theoretical partner to resistors, capacitors and inductors invented in 1971.

HP also sees the junction as possible component of artificial brains. "It is very similar to a brain synapse," said spokesman Harrah. "You could simulate a brain with transistors as neurons and a bunch of these as synapses."
