The Music DJ

Remember the local radio disc jockey? Well, he’s mostly gone now, replaced by computer programs who use algorithms to automatically select songs that are catered to your tastes from a huge database.

Hobo Bots

What is the point of a robot without working legs? Imagine a huge network of 24-hour mechanical hobos that could harvest change from sympathetic humans. Even begging for change isn’t safe from technology.

Teaching Robots

Classrooms are now experimenting with teaching robots that never make errors and always have the right answer. Why should we trust our children with imperfect humans when robots can fill the teaching niche so perfectly?

Automatic Dictation

Computers can now translate speech to text with amazing accuracy. Who needs secretaries and courtroom reporters when you can just put a cold metal box in the room?

Human Speech Bots

Scientists are working hard to make a robot that perfectly mimics human speech. The ability to give voices back to those who have lost them is a noble goal, but giving robots the ability to perfectly mimic our speech should be approached cautiously.

Automated Warehouses

Once upon a time, when you ordered a product from a company over the phone, humans would have to place the order, grab the product from the shelves, package it and then ship it. This can now all happen automatically with robotics.

Robo Vacuums

For some reason modern society decided that vacuuming was too difficult. Never-mind that all those automatic vacuums out there could be recording all of our conversations for use against us in Robo-Human wars of 2023.

CNC Routers

Humans used to create machine tools and parts with the pure skill of their own hands and eyes, but the CNC Routers from Ron Mack Machinery have cut humans out from a big chunk of the process.

Macros and Scripts

All under the guise of improving efficiency for humans, computers can now perform mundane tasks in spreadsheets, word processors and other programs that were once left for humans. Soon we may have machines just sitting in front of other machines.

Robot Babies

The film “Artificial Intelligence” isn’t as far as some of us may like to hope. Robot babies can mimic baby noises and movements to an eerie degree. The only thing missing is a realistic look, and we may not be too far.

From the second website www.howmanyofme.com, You can search about the persons of your name. This website has restriction that it can search only about the persons in the United States of America. But even then if you resides outside USA you can atleast find out the persons with your name in USA. For example, when I search Manmohan Singh, I found the following:

  There are fewer than 1,567 people in the U.S. with the first name Manmohan.

  The estimate for this name is not absolute. There may be fewer people with this name, or none at all.

• There are 84,400 people in the U.S. with the last name Singh.
• Statistically the 396th most popular last name.
  • Famous people with the last name Singh: Tarsem Singh

So enjoy this by searching from howmanyofme.com and googlism.com about you and others.

Tonio Ball and colleagues systematically investigated the influence of the mesh size of these filters on the resulting imagery of brain activity. They conducted an experiment during which test persons had to rate music by pressing a button while lying in an functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanner. During this task, brain regions responsible for hearing, vision, and arm movements were active. The scientists treated the gained data with filters of different widths and found surprising results: The filters had a marked influence on the outcome of the brain scan analyses, showing increased brain activity in one region in one case, and in a different region – in the other. Even smallest changes in filter width led to areas of the brain appearing to be either active or inactive. This effect can ultimately lead to widely disparate interpretations of such a scan. Tonio Ball and his colleagues therefore stress the importance of taking into account the effect of filtering in future interpretations of fMRI studies. This way, scientists won’t run the risk of inadvertently skewing our view of the brain.

The result is published in the current issue of Human Brain Mapping (The journal Human Brain Mapping publishes peer-reviewed basic, clinical, technical, and theoretical research in the interdisciplinary and rapidly expanding field of human brain mapping. It is published by Wiley-Blackwell. The journal features research derived from non-invasive brain imaging modalities used to explore the spatial and temporal organization of the neural systems supporting human behavior. Imaging modalities of interest include positron emission tomography, event-related potentials, electro-and magnetoencephalography, magnetic resonance imaging, and single-photon emission tomography. Brain mapping research in both normal and clinical populations is encouraged. The journal endorses the propagation of methodological standards and encourages database development in the field of human brain mapping. It has 2009 impact factor 6.256).

Researchers at the Concordia University has developed an effective  technique to determine the authorship of anonymous emails and their research showed that the method has a high level of accuracy and it can provide presentable evidence in courts of law.

This new technique is featured in a study published in the journal Digital Investigation (The Journal of Digital Investigation is published by Elsevier and available at www.sciencedirect.com. It covers cutting edge developments in digital forensics and incident response from around the globe. This widely referenced publication helps digital investigators remain current on new technologies, useful tools, relevant research, investigative techniques, and methods for handling security breaches. Practitioners in corporate, criminal and military settings use this journal to share their knowledge and experiences, including current challenges. It has impact factor of 0.7).

Investigators examined the collection of over 200,000 real-life emails from 158 employees of the Enron Corporation. Using a sample of 10 emails written by each of 10 subjects – 100 emails in all – they were able to identify authorship with an accuracy of 80 percent to 90 percent.

This research co-author Benjamin Fung, a professor of Information Systems Engineering at Concordia University says “In the past few years, we’ve seen an alarming increase in the number of cybercrimes involving anonymous emails and these emails can transmit threats or child pornography, facilitate communications between criminals or carry viruses.” This identification technique was developed in collaboration with Mourad Debbabi, a Concordia expert in cyber forensics, and PhD student Farkhund Iqbal. “Our different backgrounds allowed us to apply data mining techniques to real-life problems in cyber forensics,” says Fung. “This is an excellent illustration of how effective interdisciplinary research can be.”

Fung further says, “Our technique was designed to provide credible evidence that can be presented in a court of law and for evidence to be admissible, investigators need to explain how they have reached their conclusions. Our method allows them to do this.”

While investigation agencies can often use the internet protocol (IP) address to locate the place where an email originated, they may find many people at that address but they need a reliable, effective way to determine which of several suspects has written the emails under investigation. Fung and his colleagues developed a novel method of authorship attribution to meet this need, based on techniques used in speech recognition and data mining. Their approach relies on the identification of frequent patterns – unique combinations of features that recur in a suspect’s emails.

To determine whether a suspect has authored the target email, they first identify the patterns found in emails written by the subject. Then, they filter out any of these patterns which are also found in the emails of other suspects. The remaining frequent patterns are unique to the author of the emails being analyzed. They constitute the suspect’s ‘write-print,’ a distinctive identifier like a fingerprint. “Let’s say the anonymous email contains typos or grammatical mistakes, or is written entirely in lowercase letters,” says Fung. “We use those special characteristics to create a write-print. Using this method, we can even determine with a high degree of accuracy who wrote a given email, and infer the gender, nationality and education level of the author.”
