Media: ex-director of machine training Apple got a job at DeepMind

Former Director of the Department of Machine Education at Apple, Jan Hudfellow got a job at DeepMind.

According to Bloomberg, the specialist joined the Google AI unit as an independent participant. Gudfellow has not yet begun new duties, the source writes.

In DeepMind, the information did not comment on the information.

Earlier, Gudfellow left Apple due to partial cancellation of remote work and lack of flexibility in the company’s work policy.

Soon, Apple abandoned the policy of gradual return to offices due to an increase in the incidence of Covid-19 in the United States. Instead, employees will be obliged to attend jobs for two days a week and wear masks in public places.

Google introduced Ai-trainer to prepare for interviews

Google has launched the II instrument Interview Warmup to prepare for interviews. The program is available only to users from the USA.

The system asks typical questions like “tell a little about yourself” and analyzes a person’s answers to identify the area requiring improvement. The tool will determine if the candidate “abuses” some words or he needs more time to talk on a given topic.

Interview Warmup is designed for participants in the Google Career Certificates program, but also includes a list of general questions. In the future, the company plan to expand the functionality of the tool and the region of its availability.

Apple introduced “live subtitles” for iPhone, iPad and Mac

Apple will add the function of creating “live subtitles” to the video for iPhone, iPad and Mac. The company also announced the AI-System for the detection of doors in an unfamiliar area.

The system generates a business image based on pre -uploaded professional photos. The algorithm “finishes” the missing details like a suit or stacked hair in real time and synchronizes the image with a broadcast in Zoom, Skype or Microsoft Teams.

The application tracks 50,000 different points on the user’s face, determining the changes in his facial expressions. The system is also adjusted to the movement of a person, even when it approaches the camera.

According to the company, EmbodyMe neuroranding takes about 0.01 seconds, which is 50 times faster than analogues.

The base filter is free. Monthly subscription with additional functions costs $ 8 per month.

In Japan, a container ship made autonomous swimming

Autonomous Suzaku containers swam 790 km on their own. A ship 95 m long made a test trip from the Tokyo Gulf to the port of Tsumatsusak and back.

The experiment also experienced ground support and distance management technologies. The operators monitored the functioning of the vessel, briefly intercepting management to verify the performance of control and communication systems.

About 30 companies participated in the experiment. The project is financed by the Japanese organization Nippon Foundation.
