Facebook and MIT use AI to address 4 billion siblings in remote areas

Brothers who live in remote, remote areas will soon have a simple, easy-to-find home address placed by artificial intelligence . The system will be developed by Facebook and MIT , which uses the machine learning algorithm to identify and assign addresses to locations within the satellite imagery. Researchers believe that this approach will be cheaper, more efficient than other mapping techniques. 

Statistics show that there are still about 4 billion people in the world without a clear physical address. That's why researchers want to find an effective way to solve that. And after the research, they trained a deep learning algorithm that allowed them to scan satellite images and identify pixels containing paths. At the same time, they use a different algorithm to get these pixels and to group them together into a network of paths that can be analyzed and broken down into quadrants. 

When everything is "spread out" clearly, the algorithm will use the numbers and characters assigned to the paths and from there the addresses will be formed. Researchers say that with this technique intersections or nearby locations will be easy to identify because it is easy to rely on numbers and identifiers to find the connection between the roads. different. 

In fact, this is not the first time researchers have sought to address the problem of addressing remote areas. In 2015, Google introduced the Open Location Code project, which aims to identify remote areas on their maps. In addition, what3words has also been studying how to divide a globe into a 3x3 meter grid, then randomly generate 3 phrases to name the cells. 

And the biggest problem that many of the solutions that come up before the meeting is how to make the addresses they have easily created can be widely accepted. This is a real challenge because it requires approval in the community of the people and the government of the country. However, if successful application of a naming system, it will open the door to ease the delivery of medical care equipment, delivery, etc. On the other hand, it also supports the planning and build the infrastructure.

Leicester Square - the seventh cathedral will officially open in December

With the growing popularity of audio-visual technology and the emergence of 3D imaging technology or virtual reality, the number of moviegoers has decreased dramatically.   Travelers in the United States are less likely to see the movie, while in the UK theaters also share the scene "afternoon market".   Instead of going to the movies like before, people choose other entertainment needs more quickly such as playing games or simply switch to Netflix movie channel.   It is undeniable that movie theaters are no longer as "favored" as before.   This is also the reason why a system of British cinema has decided to cooperate with  Dolby  to revive the theater was dubbed as "Cathedral of the seventh art."   Odeon  's  Leicester Square  cinema is one of Europe's most famous theaters.   The cinema has 1,679 seats, a staggering number.   Set in the heart of central London, this theater has hosted hundreds of premieres and royal festivities during its 81 year

Not only Office, Windows 10 is also refreshed icon set

Not only the  Office suite  refreshes familiar icon sets that even  Windows 10  refreshes system icons.   Jon Friedman, the director of Office design at Microsoft, said the change was systemic and across Microsoft.   To He says Office is just the beginning of an effort to update the entire logo in a way that is in the Microsoft ecosystem.   In his blog post, Friedman also posted a few iconic concept images of applications such as Photos, News, Mail and many other  Windows-based  applications.   To Currently Windows 10 is still using the icon mix between new and old, some icons have a lifetime of more than 10 years.   Of course, these icons have outdated designs and are no longer compatible with the design of Windows 10. Microsoft has continually improved the interface design of Windows 10 to make it more modern, It is located in the old Control Panel to Windows Settings and this time, the company focused on icon design.   Hopefully Microsoft will make the right place, change all
