Researcher in biomedical engineering at Caltech, passionate about ethics in modern technological development.
Around 1300, Majorcan philosopher Ramon Llull designed a system of rotating, concentric mechanical wheels inscribed with theological concepts. By turning the wheels, the machine combined attributes to automatically generate undeniable logical truths, serving as the… Read More »Ars Magna and Algorithmic Faith
In 1623, German polymath Wilhelm Schickard invented the Rechenuhr, the first mechanical calculating machine capable of adding and subtracting six-digit numbers using gear trains. This device physically proved that numerical processing could be delegated away… Read More »The Calculating Clock of Wilhelm Schickard
Microsoft Research, in close collaboration with Geoffrey Hinton’s lab, deployed Deep Neural Networks (DNN) for automatic speech recognition within their core pipelines. By replacing traditional Gaussian Mixture Models with deep feedforward architectures, they achieved a… Read More »The Deep Neural Network Speech Breakthrough at Microsoft
