#New computerised learning system can spot irony and sarcasm in text messages and emails A new computerised learning system spots emotional sentiments, such as sarcasm and irony,
Eden Saig, a computer science student at the Technion-Israel Institute of technology in Israel, developed the computerised learning system
Saig developed the system at the Technion Learning and Reasoning Laboratory, after taking a course in artificial intelligence supervised by Professor Shaul Markovich, of the Technion Faculty of Computer science.
According to Saig voice tone and inflections play an important role in conveying one meaning in verbally communicated message.

Deep learning is a relatively new branch of AI research loosely based on human neural circuitry and how our brains perceive
deep learning algorithms create eural nets in which layers of artificial neurons process raw sensory data like sound waves
Simpler versions of deep learning can be found in programs we use every day, like Siri on the iphone or Google street view
But using deep learning for motor tasks is a far more challenging prospect. oving about in an unstructured 3d environment is a whole different ballgame,
said Ph d. student Chelsea Finn. here are labelled no directions, no examples of how to solve the problem in advance.
The algorithm helps to control BRETT learning by including a reward function that provides the robot with a score based on how well it doing,
learning took a bit longer at around three hours. ith more data, you can start learning more complex things,
Abbeel said. e still have a long way to go before our robots can learn to clean a house or sort laundry,
In the next five to ten years, we may see significant advances in robot learning capabilities through this line of work.
