Thomas Samson/AFP/Getty Images Google Translate — here shown on a mobile phone — will use deep learning to improve its translations between texts. Google's online translation service, Google Translate, will soon be using a new algorithm that is entirely based on deep learning, the company announced on 27 September. The algorithm, which is also described in a paper posted to the preprint server arXiv 1 , is the first widely-available computer system for translating languages that relies on the increasingly popular AI technique. Compared to the firm's existing service, the algorithm reduces errors by around 60%, Google computer scientists say. A Chinese-to-English service that uses the algorithm is now being used on the Google Translate mobile and web-based apps, and Google says that it will roll out other languages over the next few months. The advance is yet another example of the success of deep learning, which has helped crack major AI problems in recent ...

DeepMind’s latest technique uses external memory to solve tasks that require logic and reasoning — a step toward more human-like AI. Mary Evans Picture Library DeepMind's AI uses external memory to accomplish tasks that require reasoning, such as learning to navigate the London Underground. Artificial-intelligence (AI) systems known as neural networks can recognize images,  translate languages  and even master the ancient game of Go. But their limited ability to represent complex relationships between data or variables has prevented them from conquering tasks that require logic and reasoning. In a paper published in  Nature  on 12 October 1 , the Google-owned company DeepMind in London reveals that it has taken a step towards overcoming this hurdle by creating a neural network with an external memory. The combination allows the neural network not only to learn, but to use memory to store and recall facts to make inferences like a convention...

Inspired by biology, chemists have created a cornucopia of molecular parts that act as switches, motors and ratchets. Now it is time to do something useful with them. Karl-Heinz Ernst A molecular 'nanocar' travels across a metal surface, propelled by bonding changes. The robot moves slowly along its track, pausing regularly to reach out an arm that carefully scoops up a component. The arm connects the component to an elaborate construction on the robot's back. Then the robot moves forward and repeats the process — systematically stringing the parts together according to a precise design. It is not alone. Leigh is part of a growing band of molecular architects who have been inspired to emulate the machine-like biological molecules found in living cells — kinesin proteins that stride along the cell's microscopic scaffolding, or the  ribosome  that constructs proteins by reading genetic code. Over the past 25 years, these researchers have devised an impress...

R: Vincent Kessler/REUTERS Molecular architects: Fraser Stoddart, Bernard Feringa and Jean-Pierre Sauvage. Three chemists who created tiny molecular machines have won the 2016 Nobel Prize in Chemistryfor their intricate designs. Jean-Pierre Sauvage, at the University of Strasbourg in France; Fraser Stoddart, a Scottish-born chemist at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois; and Bernard Feringa, at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, share the award for their work in the 1980s and 1990s, when they pioneered efforts to miniaturize motors. “I’m a bit shocked because it was such a great surprise. And I’m so honoured,” said Feringa in an interview with the Nobel Committee just after winning the prize. The tiniest Lego: a tale of nanoscale motors, rotors, switches and pumps The three have made  molecular knots, shuttles, rotors, chains...

Fish Creek-Cenarrusa Ranch Idaho, Blaine County Size: 8,890 acres Price: Negotiable The property will be encumbered by a conservation easement as described below. DESCRIPTION The 8,890 acre Fish Creek - Cenarrusa Ranch is located in the heart of the Pioneer Mountains – Craters of the Moon landscape in south central Idaho. The Ranch begins at the base of Fish Creek and includes irrigated farmland, extensive rangelands, and willow lined stream corridors. PRIMARY CONSERVATION OBJECTIVE The Conservancy is working to protect a variety of conservation, scenic and open space values in the Pioneer Mountains - Craters of the Moon landscape, including habitat for sage grouse and pronghorn, sagebrush steppe habitat, riparian and water resources, animal migration corridors and other wildlife. BIODIVERSITY HIGHLIGHTS This property is rich in biological diversity and supports many native plant communities and species, including, sagebrush steppe, grassland plains, and riv...

CAREY — Nearly 9,000 acres of prime sage grouse habitat in Blaine County is for sale at a discounted price. The Nature Conservancy is selling the Cenarrusa Ranch, once part of the family’s sheep empire northeast of Carey, between the Pioneer Mountains and the Craters of the Moon National Monument. The Cenarrusa name is well known in Idaho. Pete Cenarrusa, Idaho Secretary of State for more than three decades, owned land adjacent to the Cenarrusa ranch. The ranch was previously owned by the politician’s nephew Jim Cenarrusa. The younger Cenarrusa sold the property earlier this year to The Nature Conservancy, so that the ranch — covered with sagebrush, native grasses, fish-filled creeks and wildlife — could be protected from future development. Sage grouse and pronghorn inhabit the region, and that’s created increased efforts from multiple conservation agencies. The Pioneers Alliance, a coalition of conservationists (including the Conservancy), scientists, residents...

Donald Trump hasn't sued a newspaper for libel in three decades, despite the Republican presidential nominee repeatedly threatening to do so over the course of his business career, according to databases of state and federal court records. A lawyer for the New York real estate developer demanded on Wednesday the New York Times retract a story in which two women accused Trump of inappropriately touching them. If the newspaper did not comply, Trump, who says the allegations are fabricated, would "pursue all available actions and remedies," the lawyer, Marc Kasowitz, said in a letter. Trump said at a rally on Thursday he was preparing a lawsuit. An attorney for the Times, David McCraw, said the story was of national importance and the paper would "welcome the opportunity" to defend it in court. Over the years, media outlets including the Wall Street Journal, the Village Voice, the New York Post and Fortune Magazine have reported receiving similar t...
