#JWST (James Webb Space Telescope) is being planned to be launched October 2018. This has some new features that will enable more gaze into the universe and multiverse than we could do with $Hubble #Space #telescope. Hubble telescope stopped receiving services from 2009 after #spaceShuttle program was abandoned. Hubble telescope is on it's own now. It is still doing the work, but reports are emanating that Hubble is falling slowly from it's orbiting heights. If no action is taken, it may come crashing to earth between 2030-2040. So, JWST is critical as a replacement to Hubble.
JWST has went through many #tests successfully and reached a #critical stage of #cryogenic tests. This telescope is designed to work at a very low #temperature of 50°K. This article details the why, what and how of this test if all components of the telescope at this very low temperature. As before, I hope that this test will also pass through successfully. Though there is some delay in project schedule, I hope NASA will make up the losses in time and meet the launch date of October 2018. All the best to NASA team!

Pixel 2 XL first full day battery life. Not too shabby, given my usual workload, and hundreds, probably thousands, of notifications.
Definitely beats the atrocious Pixel XL battery life I've been getting https://plus.google.com/+ArtemRussakovskii/posts/bVpFkJ6vrXS. I hope it sticks.

"Woebot: AI for mental health." "While a software chatbot will never replace a human therapist, Woebot makes it possible to inexpensively deliver counseling to millions. Woebot delivers a mood management program based on Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). A Stanford University randomized controlled trial showed that Woebot reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety in 2 weeks."

Researchers find shifting relationship between flexibility, modularity in the brain
A new study by Rice University researchers takes a step toward what they see as key to the advance of neuroscience: a better understanding of the relationship between the brain's flexibility and its modularity. Their open-access study appears in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience. Scientists are only beginning to comprehend how brains are wired, both structurally and functionally. The latest in a series of studies by Rice scientists shows that the brain's flexibility and modularity – which researchers often study independently – are strongly related. The new study also presents a theoretical framework to explain the two processes. They found that flexibility, which relates to how much brain networks change over time, and modularity, which defines the degree of interconnectivity between parts of the brain responsible for specific tasks, are highly negatively correlated. In other words, people with highly modular brains that constrain tasks to the modules also show low flexibility, while people with high-flexibility brains that share tasks across the network show low modularity.

AVA: a video dataset for teaching computers to understand human actions
For computers to be able to understand what is happening in a video, they need to be able to recognize human actions: watch a person or a TV, dance, answer a phone, hug, drink, eat, play a board game, sleep, talk, swim and so forth.
To create AVA, we first collected a diverse set of long form content from YouTube, focusing on the “film” and “television” categories, featuring professional actors of many different nationalities. We analyzed a 15 minute clip from each video, and uniformly partitioned it into 300 non-overlapping 3-second segments. The sampling strategy preserved sequences of actions in a coherent temporal context.
Next, we manually labeled all bounding boxes of persons in the middle frame of each 3-second segment. For each person in the bounding box, annotators selected a variable number of labels from a pre-defined atomic action vocabulary (with 80 classes) that describe the person’s actions within the segment. These actions were divided into three groups: pose/movement actions, person-object interactions, and person-person interactions.
The data also lets you see actions that frequently occur together.
We confirm expected patterns such as people frequently play instruments while singing, lift a person while playing with kids, and hug while kissing.
Browse the dataset:
https://research.google.com/ava/
One of the interesting things I notice is that some activities like "dance" actually include a variety of actions, some of which might be hard for a computer to distinguish from walking, running or hugging.
