A student creates software capable of blowing PV – Begeek.fr

Take a lawyer to challenge a PV parking is expensive, which is why Joshua Browder, a young British student enrolled at Stanford University in the United States, has created a software able to “replace” an attorney.

a “robot-lawyer” to challenge the PV

Joshua Browder has created end 2015 is software able to “replace” a lawyer in the affairs of Challenges tickets. Called “DoNotPay” (do not pay), this software is able to automatically prepare legal arguments to challenge in court parking fines. Users can benefit from this “lawyer” virtual free, they only have to answer the questions put to automatically receive legal arguments adapted to their situation so that we can then make a claim and to cancel their PV.

When asked by the site Metro , Joshua Browder says he got the idea to create this software after receiving a number of PV “ sometimes inflicted unfairly” . According to the young man, “ judicial problems are a burden on the most disadvantaged people. With technologies like my robot, I hope that everyone around the world will be entitled to the same protection as a billionaire “.

3 million euros of fine spared

the software of the young man of 19 years has enabled users to get successful in 47% of cases, representing a total of 95,000 tickets canceled or 3 million dollars of fine spared. The software of the young man was so well received by users as the skill of the “robot-lawyer” have been expanded. The software is now able to handle other affairs such as delays plane or train. Joshua Browder now wants to develop his “robot” in New York, Canada and Mexico in a few months.

Here’s how software can beautify human faces – Slate.fr

This is a Facebook engineer who has developed an artificial intelligence able to do it.

It is often said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But much research has put forward the idea that there was indeed a kind of average beauty on which people agree in different cultures. Photo of a man has been altered by such designers from 19 countries to make them resemble the beauty standards identified by researchers.

Based on this research, a science became team manager at Facebook, Tommer Leyvand, has developed software to beautify the human faces in photographs, reports the magazine Nautilus. The software swallows clichés submitted to him, and cut off a little skin by it, enlarges eyes a little, refines or thickens the nose.

“To create the software , says the article, team Leyvand used research by another group, in which 68 men and women 25 to 40, came from Israel and Germany had to choose the most beautiful faces among 92 faces of women and 33 men faces. From these winners portraits, Leyvand and colleagues measured 84 points on each face (plotting the eye for example, eyebrows, eyes, lips, nose, and limitations of the face) to create an artificial intelligence note that can consistently and smiliaire human appreciations, beauty. During the beautification process, the algorithm examines 234 face boundaries, and based on pre-established steps, made the necessary adjustments “

Chip Rowe the author of the article Nautilus, spent her face through the mill of this software. We’ll let you see the result.

Note that the tool has found the perfect actor James Franco, who have nothing to add, but has instead reduced the lips of a photo actress Brigitte Bardot (younger). So, the secret of beauty have not yet been completely drilled through technology.

NationBuilder, the software darling of candidates – The World

on the eve of a long campaign, it is better to recruit a large number of troops and mostly know them well. For months, the protagonists of the primary right mobilized all their close team to retrieve the mail and cell phone numbers of up to potentially interested citizens. To constitute war chest, several methods are implemented: forms to be completed during the public meetings, contact work at each meeting of the candidate, signing petitions as did Alain Juppé recently with a very vague text entitled ” for a useful reform school “…

the objective of this detailed work is to build a solid potential supporters file. then is to be used effectively. For it is then necessary to manage hundreds of thousands of data (as Bruno Le Maire had collected more than 550,000 addresses …

Look at the picture below and try to pinpoint where it was taken – you have 20 seconds and the file includes no GPS data (the answer is at the end of the article). In the absence of a recognizable element -like the Eiffel Tower, for example-you must admit that the task is arduous

Adrian BRANCO –

well not for PlaNet, image geolocation recognition project Google unveiled by Technology Review. Without even really be reliable, this research program is already more efficient than humans. And he learns quickly.

Learn to read the photos

Led by a specialist computer programs dedicated to vision, Tobias Weyand, PlaNet program is a deep-learning software, ie he is not content to perform a task, he learns progressively and improves over time.

To learn things PlaNet, we had to give him the images to study. Oh, a straw: the basis of geo-localized image data assigned to this task no less than 126 million copies. Mr Weyand The team divided the database into a first segment 91 million photos for learning, and the rest was used for comparison results of its analysis.

Almost 50% success in the continent

Google teams have cut the earth in 26,000 areas whose size varies according to the density of shots – urban areas are smaller – and PlaNet started working. And he is facing 2.3 million geo-tagged images in Flickr. And the result is quite promising: the shot placement accuracy across continents PlaNet is already 48% – try to make the difference between the red earth of the Burkina Faso road that Australian bush

the next step was that of confrontation with humans, 10 handpicked travelers.

And despite his young age, the program has won 28 of 50 GeoGuess innings game against humans, while proving more specific: when humans have an average 2320 kilometers precision geolocation, PlaNet twice more with only 1131 km. You can also play the game of “Where is that?” by visiting the geoguessr.com project page.

Coming soon to smartphone?

If it only worked on a supercomputer, PlaNet would be a research program as another. But according to its designer, the software takes up only 377 MB of memory and could thus entirely run on a smartphone!

If it does not give more details as to the need for access or not permanently in a database or the processor power required, it seems possible becomes your smartphone, in the coming years, both smarter and more relevant than you in analyzing the images. . What is also exciting … scary

Oh, I almost forgot: the photo of the beginning of the article was taken at the Sengi-neck in the state of Ladakh , Himalayan region of northern India. Not sure PlaNet is still developed for these regions …

The FBI asks Apple to “write equivalent software to cancer … – francetv info

Apple boss Tim Cook, defended again Wednesday, February 24, its position in the standoff against the FBI, which wants to force him to unlock an iPhone, the name of the fight against terrorism. “It would be bad for America. This would also create a precedent which, I think, offended many people in America” ​​, said the CEO in an interview with ABC. To meet the demands of the FBI, Apple should create a software “equivalent cancer” says Tim Cook.

A fair backdoor for the Gentiles, that does not exist. The bad guys also find the

Tim Cook

ABC

Apple launched last week in a legal battle and public relations against the American authorities, who want to force him to help investigators unlock the iPhone Syed Farook, one of the authors of the attack in San Bernardino in December in California. Two months after the attack that killed 14 people, investigators have indeed still unable to access the encrypted contents of the phone. Apple claims to have already forwarded all the information available on the iPhone Syed Farook. But the company also said that investigators have made a mistake by trying to reset the password, shortly after the phone entry, thus eliminating any chance of recovering the data.

The software that would decrypt phone involved in this particular case would indeed “the potential to enter into any iPhone. this is not something that should be set” , insists Tim Cook. Asked about the fact that in opposing the demands of the FBI in the case of San Bernardino, Apple prevented possibly detect another terrorist attack, Tim Cook suggested that “some things are hard and some are just. and some things are both. this is the case here. “

in addition to this high-profile case, US authorities require the cooperation of Apple for the access to at least a dozen iPhone in various surveys, including drug trafficking in New York. For him, “what is at stake here is: is it the government can force Apple to create software that we think would make hundreds of millions of vulnerable consumers in the world (… ) and trample civil liberties that are the foundation of this country “. Tim Cook said he wanted to talk about the case with President Obama, and be prepared to back the case to the Supreme Court, but believes that the debate should take place in Congress and not the courts.

Nicolas Sarkozy of the book screened software that detects … – The Huffington Post

POLICY – You can not stop progress. A Swiss startup called OrphAnalytics Romande has developed a software supposed to detect the authors that use of “Negro” or ghostwriters to write their work for them. Originally thought to prevent plagiarism and cheating in student copies, this software has been tested by the Swiss Radio and Television RTS on the literary works of Nicolas Sarkozy, including his latest bestseller “France for life” as well as those of François Bayrou. And if one passes the test without incident, the other will have to explain about the paternity of his bibliography.

How does all this work? Turns of phrase, common vocabulary, style effects sequences … A text on cutting algorithm to identify statistically “stylistic footprint” of its author. Then simply compare the linguistic map to those of other texts of the same editor to ensure they match.

The RTS has scrutinized the entire bibliography of former president Republic since his biography of Georges Mandel (1994), a time suspected of plagiarism, to “France for life” (2016), a work presented as his more personal, through “letters of my castle” ( 1995), follow-up letters parodic published in Les Echos in 1995 under the pseudonym of Mazarin which Nicolas Sarkozy has finally acknowledged paternity in 2004.

the result is “enough ferocious “to believe Claude-Alain Roten, inventor of software: company OrphAnalytics algorithm has detected three different stylistic fingerprints for these three works.

A “dashboard that is not infallible”

But beware of hasty conclusions. If the stylistic map of the bibliography of Nicolas Sarkozy shows that at least three authors have been working on these books, it does not say which of these prints is the chairman of the Republicans. “The letters of my castle” has been published under a pseudonym with the clear desire not to be recognized, one can imagine that the style of the future president could be affected. And the mark of “France for life” more or less corresponds to that of two other books “Free”, “Republic” and “Testimony”. It is therefore impossible to conclude that Nicolas Sarkozy did not write himself his latest book.

The software designer also recognizes that it is primarily a “dashboard” that “n is not infallible. ” However, he told the RTS, “if I were to find myself in the position of a juror who would have the floor on a document that would have this type of profile, I would ask myself serious questions as to the integrity of the student’s approach. “

to force the demonstration, the Swiss Broadcasting also tested five books of another politician, the president of Modem François Bayrou, known for the care he brings himself to write his books as his speeches. This time, the result is final. All his books show the same stylistic imprint.

Conversely, OrphAnalytics tested the series “Millenium”, work of writer Stieg Larsson, who died in 2004 but whose last book was officially drafted by another author. The algorithm does not fall into the trap.

romand software to track cheaters – Tribune de Genève

Students who resort to “niggers” to write their work may have a harder time in the future. A software developed in Martigny is currently undergoing testing on texts of students of the Bern University of Western Switzerland (HES SO), reveals the RTS on its website. It can detect “ghostwriters”, the “ghost writers.”

The program was created by the company OrphAnalytics. It is inspired by the genome research and cutting the text into sequences of identical size. It then analyzes the effects of both style, as word length, sentence construction, etc., to give an “identity” for each segment.

According to the expert interviewed by the RTS, each individual in a writing style all its own. The software makes it possible to compare the previous work of the students with the memory “suspicious.” It also can detect if one or more persons are behind the text.

Sarkozy, the student cheat

The software was tested on particular books of François Bayrou and Nicolas Sarkozy, regularly suspected of using ghost writers. Result: the first president of the Democratic Movement (MoDem), unscathed exercise. A single person would indeed behind all his works.

However, the former French president made his appeal to “niggers”. The program has identified at least three different scripts in 6 books attributed to Sarkozy. It would have been, as part of a university, accused of cheating … (nxp)

F1 – Palmer has had software problems – Motorsports

The first Jolyon Palmer testing day in the Renault was slowed by software problems. He could not ride lot.

For the first time in more than six years, a 100% car took the track Monday. Jolyon Palmer took charge of the first run of the RS16, especially developed by Lotus. He is satisfied, even if software problems have slowed. He waited more than three hours before returning to the track in the afternoon.

“It was a huge honor to be on track with the car that I will have this year,” says the ‘English. “The program was not particularly exciting, slightly disjointed, but it was the first day of testing and we could perform valuable tasks for the coming season. “

” I’m looking forward to spending more time in the car (Tuesday). “

The car was ready in no time

Having the car ready on Monday was a challenge for Renault, due to the late acquisition of Lotus. The integration of the powertrain in the chassis had to be made very quickly. Only software problems disrupted the work.

“We have seen the first steps of the RS16, a car brought forth by all the staff at Enstone and Viry in incredibly short time and binding, “said Nick Chester, Renault technical director chassis. “We were careful in our program, but being on track at 9am demonstrates the immense work of those involved in the project. “

” We encountered a few snags, mainly on the software part, and we look forward to complete more laps (Tuesday). “

Automatic software that challenges your PV exists – Caradisiac.com

You can not stop progress. While the connected car rolls towards autonomy, the same electronic liberating promises suspended drivers challenge for them the minutes they would respond. Take your PV, take it to your computer and it does the rest by promising absolution. Here is the software that challenges your offenses.

A useful approach when it comes to challenge particular small breaches cost pay less prohibitive in a formal procedure. Besides, the one who invented the process ensures that users saved his invention the equivalent of $ 3 million in fines since its creation late 2015. A straw!

what is it? From a free software that develops a legal argument. A system that works with a series of questions and answers. In the end, the software finds excuses or justifications to the offender, before preparing a letter of complaint he only has to send to the court. . A bright idea of ​​a British 19 year old student named Joshua Browder

The latter commented: “ the site performs many tasks automatically and the user speaks like a true lawyer. It uses an algorithm that combines word order, key words and pronouns to identify what the user is saying. If the robot does not get it, it will generate a generic message and encouragement at this time, I will be alert to ensure that the problem does not recur in the future . ”

the site in question naturally called DoNotPay, which means, remember “do not pay”. If the product is promised to New York, Canada and Mexico, it is not expected in Europe. Except that a genius embarks on the adventure.
