Prof. Girish Chowdhary has critical attitudes to many things, especially the hottest tech news. He wants us look at things […]
Artificial intelligence (AI), though a popular term nowadays, is not new to food industry. In the late 20’s century, food companies were seeking computational solutions for Quality Control (QC). As product consistency is of great importance to all food companies, standard technical methods are preferable to human testing since it’s subject to individual differences and […]
Neural network (NN) is a hot topic today in IT industry because of its successful applications in deep learning such as Alpha Go and automatic driving. People intend to call it artificial neural network (ANN) for its comparison with human neural network. After taking CS466 Machine Learning class this semester from the Department of Computer […]
I didn’t go to Las Vegas last year for the IFT17. I knew IFTNEXT just recently when I was submitting an abstract for IFT18. Sponsored by ingredion, Inc., IFTNEXT session was first launched in last year’s exhibition (http://www.ift.org/iftnext.aspx). I didn’t have the chance to be there and see, but thankfully there is a website to […]
