women receive more suggestions for lower paying jobs than men in a study by carnegie mellon university. catherine jonell says it's. not only algorithms that are to blame because they are still programmed and fed with information by human algorithms because we train it using the machine learning so either whether it's deep learning with a neural network so to speak or it's machine learning were feeding it data and were asking it to form an opinion and of course when that opinion is based on data that has unfair treatment of groups then very much learned. like translation software millions of text teach it which would be most appropriate if these texts mention. teaches remembers that picture recognition algorithms learn from large picture databases you can find pictures of women in a kitchen men. to associate women with kitchens another problem is how the rhythms reinforce what they have already learned to the point even that identified this man as a woman. changing difficult time consuming. one important thing is to know all of the sources of your data so to be very aware that if you're

carnegie mellon has a similar situation, where there are so many spots or computer science. just elect to choose that major, you have to apply. they have basically, by edict, they said they will accept 50% female computer science applicants. so, they are essentially going to give an equal number of spots to men and women. >> and that might actually chill -- tilt things in favorite of women over time. emily: so, if you are a parent right now, what should you be doing if you want your kids to have a chance in this field? >> the first thing i'd say, make sure that if your kids are in school, make sure that your school teaches computer science, because most schools don't teach computer science. most americans don't think the school system can change, but we have shown that a massive scale of tens of thousands of schools that schools can change. and if parents ask the teacher there is usually one teacher at the school who wants to see computer science taught at that school, and that teacher will pick up code.org and start doing it. change happens at the local level. but the diffe

the team from carnegie mellon university and deepmotion inc used motion capture and deep reinforcementlayer. slam dunk. no summer party is complete without a warm bottle of red wine. now, did you know if you open a bottle of wine and you don't finish it within a week, which apparently is possible, the air that gets into the wine starts to turn it and it doesn't taste as good. instead, you might like to use the coravin wine pourer which you clamp to the bottle. this only works if it's got a cork, not a screwtop on the top so what you do is you clamp it there and drive a thin needle through the cork and into the bottle. when it's time to pour, this thing pumps argon gas into the wine bottle instead of air and that lets the liquid out. then there's no air in the bottle to make the wine go bad. then, when you take it off, rather violently, there is pretty much no hole in the cork, so the wine doesn't come out. what a corker! cheers! i tell you, the views from the top ofjohn lewis here in oxford street are pretty spectacular, but they're nothing compared to what we have next. 0ne daredevil
