Google Introduces AI for Its Android Services That Learns from You Without Compromising Privacy

Google, the company that rules the internet, is now testing a method to leverage its machine learning with its ubiquitous presence on mobile devices. The new model they're employing is called Federated Learning, and it hopes to apply artificial intelligence to Google's services on Android without compromising user privacy.

The Federated Learning model would be downloaded directly onto a mobile device. It would then learn from data gathered by Google's apps and services, and apply this knowledge as an update to improve the experience on your phone.

Fairly straightforward so far, right? But the trick would be gathering and using this data without compromising the user's privacy. To accomplish that, the information is encrypted, anonymized, and aggregated with other users' data before being analyzed in the cloud. The combined user data is then used to improve the base model of Google's ecosystem.

But before the aggregated data is used to improve Google services on the whole, a bit of machine learning is applied locally to enhance your personal experience. This act takes place strictly on your phone, and is not shared with Google's cloud-based AI until after it's been anonymized and combined with other users' data.

The improvements made by the local AI will happen immediately, "powering experiences personalized by the way you use your phone."

On that front, the research currently being done involves the Gboard virtual keyboard app on Android. Following the Federated learning model previously described, Venture Beat explains:

To sum it up, research scientists Brendan McMahan and Daniel Ramage stated in a blog post that "Federated Learning allows for smarter models, lower latency, and less power consumption, all while ensuring privacy."

YouTube opens mobile live streams to those with 10k+ fans, paid Super Chat exits beta

Google’s video powerhouse YouTube is today taking its latest step to compete with Facebook Live and Twitter’s Periscope to be the go-to platform for live video streaming, specifically of the unscripted, on-the-fly kind.

YouTube today is turning on live video recording directly from its mobile app for creators who have at least 10,000 subscribers. And on top of this it’s taking Super Chat — a service where viewers can pay to bump up their comments in the stream — out of beta. Now, live video creators with over 1,000 subscribers in 20 countries can turn it on, and viewers from 40 can pay to promote their pearls of wisdom.

The opening up of YouTube mobile live streaming comes about six months after Google first turned on the feature for a select number of users (such as Lewis of Unbox Therapy and athlete-turned-YouTuber Ben Brown). In a blog post, product managers Barbara Macdonald and Kurt Wilms write that the feature will soon be rolled out even more widely, beyond the 10,000 follower mark set today.

As with the more limited roll out, the live streaming feature is built into the app, where you will be able to snap a cover picture, and then press another button to start recording. Once the live video is over, YouTube visitors will be able to discover them just like they would any other video (and you the creator can also set up privacy features as you would for any other video).

One thing that’s different with the version of live streams on mobile going live today is that YouTube will slow down live chat. “It turns out receiving 2,000 messages per second is a little too fast!” Macdonald and Wilms write. They also note that they’ve also worked on improving streaming quality across a wider range of devices.

YouTube likes to remind us that it has been a notable platform for people to watch live streams since 2011, with events like Felix Baumgartner’s record-breaking skydive in 2012 attracting 8 million live viewers on the platform; and more recently, the U.S. elections seeing millions come to YouTube to watch debates and other events as they unfold.

The difference here is the emphasis on videos recorded by YouTubers and everyday people with mobile devices, an area where YouTube has been slow to move.

Instead, services like Facebook’s Live and Periscope (and the now-defunct Meerkat) were quicker to tap into the confluence of faster mobile networks, better devices, and willing audiences of viewers and creators that have a taste for improvised video, to create content that has set a standard for live, unscripted streams.

(It’s notable too that Facebook launched its Live product as a mobile app-first effort in 2015 (the same year that Periscope also emerged) and only turned on a web-originated version last month.)

However, the significance of YouTube finally making a move to expand live vide streams on mobile is that it’s far and away the world’s biggest platform for online video today, with over 1 billion users (nearly one-third of all internet users) visiting at least once a day.

And the fact that more than half of those visits are on mobile means that there is a ready and willing audience of creators and consumers for live streams made on mobile.

While broadcast TV has died a little in the age of on-demand content, it’s services like this, created on platforms the size of YouTube, that have a shot of resuscitating live video popularity for today’s consumers and creators.

super-chat-youtube…and, it might be added, advertisers. YouTube — like Facebook — has been playing with a lot of different formats for how best to monetize video — from autoplaying videos interspersed with ads to adding “midroll” ads during a single video” on its platform — and today marks a wider launch of another revenue-generating feature.

Creators making live videos on desktop or mobile can now turn on Super Chat for comments. Launched in a beta version last month, Super Chat will let viewers pay some money to boost their comments and pin them to the top of the pile for some time — the degree of the boost and pin will depend on how much a commenter is willing to pay. (It’s not unlike the Cheering feature that launched on Twitch last year.) Creators will be responsible for moderating their own Super Chats, as they do their live chats, YouTube notes.

It also looks like YouTube splits revenues for Super Chat in the same way that it does for AdSense, as you can track your revenues from them in the AdSense dashboard.

Perhaps one of the most interesting things about Super Chat is that it lays the groundwork for paying for a whole lot of other things during live streams, and also helps motivate creators to make more of these live streams as part of their bigger business efforts.

5G Technology Network Launch, Speed, Mobile Phones in Future of India.

Hello Friends,… Why 5G Technology come into news before few days? There are a few reasons behind this 5G technology future in India. Let’s get some interesting facts about Fifth Generation – 5G Technology.

As we all know that India is one of the biggest End-User of electronics and gadgets. India has a biggest electronics consumer market in future also. And Digital India needs more speed of the network, to function lightening fast.

5G Technology Future in Digital India.

So, before going over the technical details of 5G. We are seeing some recent events that really start an initiative for 5G technology in Digital India.

As stated times: Ericsson and Nokia have begun a conversation with the Indian government officials and policy makers to push for regulatory framework around the 5G technology, including identification of relevant spectrum band.

How 5G Technology Works?

At present spectrum band between 700Mhz and 2.6, GHz is available for mobile services in India. Wi-Fi services are generally used between 2.4Ghz to 5.9Ghz.

5G Network requires very high bands, and every telephone companies should have at least 100 Mhz each for 5G. considering what they have in India today. A number of Telephone Companies in matured telecom markets are looking at bands around 3.5Ghz and 4.8GHz.

So, friends for the feasibility of 5G Technology, “Spectrum is the important element for 5G. India has to come up with those rules and terms. They [policymakers] can look around the world and see examples on allocations. It’s important that India gets good allocation of spectrum,”

When 5G Technology Start in India?

In India, many Telephone Companies operators are trying to achieve full-scale 4g networks, and still in process of deploying networks.

They are a focus on urban and semi-urban areas, with expanding their 3G footprints in the Digital India. But, 5G Technology is planning to be completed for first 5g commercial deployment in 2020. Many operators in the US, Korea and Japan are preparing to pilot or trial 5g in 2016 and commercially launch the first 5G technology solution from 2017.

So, we are in hope to start our 5G Network in Digital India in 2020. Hope this will become a landmark year in Digital revolution in India.

Why 5G Technology Needed?

1. 5G Mobile network became a world’s fastest network.
2. The wearable electrical circuit has to work 5G Speed.
3. 5G Will Enable Mobile AR/VR.
4. 5G Technologies Might Be For Future Cities.
5. How fast is 5G? Low latency, high Capacity.

Compare that to the 300Mbit/s currently offered by EE’s LTE-A network, and you’ll see that we’re talking about a 12-fold speed increase over 4G here.

A realistic, nicely rounded final figure for 5G speeds, then, could be in the region of 10Gbps.

When will we see 5G?

Most estimates point to a 2020 initial roll-out for 5G network technology.

Know more about Technology Trend 2016.

So, Wingers what do you think about 5G Technology or 5G network future in Digital India?. 5G Mobile Phones, 5G Wi-Fi and 5G smartphone are going to become our future trends. Technology is need to update every moment and 5G is next step in Spectrum. Have a thought on this, share with us.

The tool has shed its Java dependency in favor of compiling Java source code to JavaScript

Google's Closure compiler, for optimizing and transpling JavaScript, no longer needs Java to run. Instead, Java source code is compiled to JavaScript so it can run under Node.js or in a browser. Java-dependent Closure had been introduced by Google in 2009.

The experimental release detailed this week supports ECMAScript 2015 features like arrow functions and let and const, and it provides polyfills for some ES2015 methods. It will check both syntax and types, and will provision warnings for JavaScript "gotchas." Google cautions, though, that some features are not available, and performance may not equal the Java version.

The upgrade is not a rewrite of Closure in JavaScript. To use the new version, developers should add it as a dependency in a project via NPM, though it also can be used with the Gulp streaming build system.

"If you'd like to migrate from google-closure-compiler, which requires Java, you'll have to use gulp.src() or equivalents to load your JavaScript before it can be compiled. As this compiler runs in pure JavaScript, the compiler cannot load or save files from your file system directly," Google's Sam Thorogood, developer programs engineer, said. Developers not using Gulp or Webpack plugins will need to specify code via flags, release notes in GitHub state.

Closure is available under an Apache 2.0 license.

New rush of moderation in visual graphic depiction?

Best Graphic Design - It's critical that all the work incorporated into Min: The New Simplicity in Graphic Design was made inside the most recent three years. Each of the undertakings that Stuart Tolley has collected in his book absolutely indicate a simple methodology being utilized over a scope of orders, from item and bundling outline to distributed, personality plan and marking.

The subject of why moderate configuration is engaging (and keeps on having advance) is a fascinating one. "Moderation" itself has rather a divisive history – both moderate workmanship and music have weathered more than what's coming to them of tabloid press scope, for instance – yet in visual computerization, the methodology is slept with in with since quite a while ago settled standards of correspondence and visual clarity.

Utilized as a part of along these lines, moderation in visual correspondence can be seen as just doing a task. For instance, the street signs that Margaret Calvert planned fifty years back are moderate since they expected to show data to drivers as essentially and as fast as could be allowed.

However, as capacity can without much of a stretch cause a specific look or style, an inclination for the moderate methodology can come down to a matter of taste. Take non mainstream magazines. For each peruser who appreciates the cool tasteful of Cereal (beneath) or Kinfolk, there are other people who lean toward the crude ornamentation of Buffalo or Polyester.

MIN-10MIN-13

One of the speculations behind the apparent ascent in a moderate development is that basic and striking configuration approaches slice through the chaotic way of today's visual society.

Shape, shading and sort so promptly vie for our consideration that the resultant conflict of voices means we are progressively being drawn, Tolley recommends, to diminishment and white space, off-screen physicality and unadulterated geometric plans.

Min is in this manner a showcase of "exemplary, considered and limited visual computerization that spots decrease, not improvement, at the heart of creation."

MIN-18MIN-20

The outline of the book is straight-forward too. Its uniform way to deal with symbolism (Tolley shot more than 400 pictures particularly for production) is an extraordinary method for guaranteeing agreement between the design of varying ventures.

Each of the three segments (Reduction, Production and Geometry) is presented by means of a meeting with a main specialist – the previously stated Cereal, office BVD and the originators of Erased Tape Records – whose reasoning encapsulates huge numbers of the methodologies celebrated in the book.

MIN-26MIN-28

Min is an incredible case of a compilation that doesn't bashful far from contextualizing the work. An excessive number of accumulations of either visual pattern make little endeavor to arrange the work in a more extensive connection, or to clarify how it has come to fruition.

Tolley's book does this well and with expositions on Social Revolution, The Grid, Simplification (all by Tolley) and Excess Meets Less (by Simon Kirkham), subjects as different as the craft of the First World War and 1950s publicizing and consumerism add some intriguing foundation to the account of the work being made today.

The final result is a book that unites work that is, as Tolley says, a great deal more than "an embraced style – it is an announcement of purpose".

Step by step instructions to Build a Mobile application

Mobile App Creation
Building an application requires extensive arranging and planning. There should be an unmistakable arrangement of points and destinations set up from the start in accordance with the business' system. These points and goals will frame the premise of the task and advise the application improvement process. The underneath steps will talk through the diverse phases of building an application and present key inquiries that ought to be considered all through.

1. Arranging – why is the application being manufactured and who for?

Customers have generally expected organizations to have an application however assembling one only for it is worthless. Applications need an obviously characterized reason and they ought to supplement a business' different channels including the organization site.

applePlanning what precisely the application is being made for is basic as they can give genuine quality. Making devotion amongst existing clients and boosting engagement, and also drawing in new business are just a portion of the potential outcomes applications are prepared to do. On the off chance that well-manufactured, an application can drive income through promoting, in-application buys or paid downloads.

When it's motivation is set up, cautious thought likewise should be given to who the application is being worked for – the application's demographic. Applications are made to be utilized by individuals. It sounds really repetitive guiding this out yet in the course of recent years, we've seen a pattern of applications being made with next to zero thought for the end client. Completing examination with potential clients is a powerful approach to pick up a comprehension about what clients need and what will work. Procedures, for example, client testing can be consolidated into the application's configuration stage to represent criticism from your demographic so the application's stream is precise and common.

Setting up from the start that the client is the focal point of all application building will guarantee an application is both open and easy to understand.

2. Usefulness – what will your application do

An application needs to have both a reason and a capacity. Keeping it basic, usable and dependable is a certain flame approach to pick up clients, and buyers like to have an application that does one thing truly well instead of a ream of things inadequately.

It's additionally critical to know from the get-go what works the application ought to have as changing things later on in the improvement procedure will be immoderate both fiscally and time-wise.

3. Substance is essential

The accomplishment of an application relies on upon its substance so having an unmistakable thought regarding what this is, is additionally greatly pivotal. Thought must be given when choosing what information the application ought to utilize, what information it ought to give and where it will originate from.

For instance, if an application is being worked with the perspective to permit clients to peruse through item goes then having the capacity to redesign data should be direct. One choice is to download content from a server or install content inside the application – this is genuinely straightforward and snappy to code anyway it might make redesigning data inside the application more troublesome sometime later.

4. Be aware of clients in outline

Convoluted applications are off-putting to most clients so to guarantee an application is engaging, keep things basic and usable for even the slightest tech-educated clients.

At the point when taking a gander at the client interface, recollect to consider that distinctive gadgets carry on in various ways and applications on an iOS gadget may not reflect that on an Android. Maintaining a strategic distance from a one-size-fits all methodology diminishes the probability of estranging fragments of potential clients.

5. Pick a group you can rely on

Couple of associations have the full scope of specialisms required to assemble an application – in case you're searching for a supplier to do everything in-house, ensure you pick an organization who speaks to the majority of the controls crosswise over application advancement including venture administration, consultancy, procedure, plan, server, test and backing and support.

Inquiring about suppliers before selecting is imperative. Try to survey experience and references as this will construct the best group accessible.

6. Get the source code

apple pay uk3The source code is the quintessence of an application – it is the supporting data thus taking duplicates is basic; whoever possesses the application by and large has the rights to claim the code.

Owning the source code likewise gives the force of having the capacity to pick who will handle the support and any overhauls that the application may require later on. Getting standard duplicates of the code amid the improvement stages, and also the last code once the application is done, is essential.

7. At long last, TEST IT!

Testing is central. Truth be told, it's likely the most imperative phase of the application building process.

Tests ought to be done all through the improvement of the application – beginning with the most punctual models and up until the dispatch of the last form. Testing the application ought to incorporate a glance at how the application responds to regular issues, for example, battery disappointment or sudden loss of availability.

The more an application is tried, the more significant criticism is picked up from the individuals who will utilize the application. This ought to then, in principle at any rate, result in a more easy to use and eventually a more effective application.
