Researchers have used 1.2 billion tweets containing at least one of the most popular 64 emojis to develop DeepMoji. The algorithm is able to predict which emoji is likely to be used and from this, to recognise sarcasm. This allows the algorithm to spot hate speech faster than humans. "Because we can't use intonation in our voice or body language to contextualise what we are saying, emojis are the way we do it online," Prof Iyad Rahwan told MIT's Technology Review magazine. Professor Iyad Rahwan and graduate student Bjarke Felbo have also created a website to invite users to redefine DeepMoji's education by submitting and annotating their own messages. The duo also plan to release the algorithm's code for other researchers benefit. "Using emojis as labels for training neural networks is a great idea," said Prof Kerstin Dautenhahn who studies human- machine interaction at the University of Hertfordshire. "Applying it to tweets seems also a smart choice, since communication via tweets is much more impoverished than actual face-to-face conversation," she said, "so chances are better for the algorithms to work." Who knew emojis will be the key to eliminating hate speech. Sounds like something out of a science fiction movie right? But experiments beg to differ, this became a reality through trial and error. When sections of bone, muscle, and cartilage were implanted into animals all three functioned as normal. Well maybe I'm getting ahead of myself but if small parts of the human anatomy are being artificially made by a machine of this calibre this means huge advancements in not only technology but medicine. The idea behind this project was to place individual cells in a specific pattern to replace an injured muscle or bone. But advancements have been delayed due to the difficult task of keeping cells alive. This is because cells become neglected once they are exposed to oxygen, in tissue thicker than 0.2. Fortunately for us, scientists have come up with a new way of keeping these cells alive! The brains behind this innovative idea at the Wake Forest Baptist Medical Centre have created a new technique that 3D prints tissue filled with micro - pathways, like a sponge this helps nutrients to go through the tissue. The meshed tissue and organ printed system make a biodegradable plastic like substance that gives structure and gel to help cells grow within and not become 'neglected'. Animals that had these structures implanted allowed scientists to study how the plastic broke down and became replaced with a natural structural formation of proteins that were made by the cells. The implants have already imitated the same strength as a human bone, now all that's left to see is whether they can stand the test of time.
