Ancient Melanosomes, Beta-Keratin Found in Fossilized Feathers of Early Cretaceous Bird
Nov 25, 2016
- An international team of paleontologists has found evidence of beta-keratin and melanosome preservation in a 130-million-year-old specimen of the Early Cretaceous bird Eoconfuciusornis. Eoconfuciusornis, a genus of crow-sized primitive birds from the Early Cretaceous Dabeigou and Huajiying Formations of China, dating from 135 to 125 million years ago, are the earliest birds to have a keratinous beak and no teeth, like modern birds. http://cdn.sci-news.com/images/2016/11/image_4398_1-Eoconfuciusornis.jpg

Baidu’s Artificial Intelligence Lab Unveils Synthetic Speech System
March 8, 2017
- Now Baidu’s artificial intelligence lab has revealed its work on speech synthesis. One of the challenges in speech synthesis is to reduce the amount of fine-tuning that goes on behind the scenes. Baidu’s big breakthrough is to create a deep-learning machine that largely does away with this kind of meddling. The result is a text-to-speech system called Deep Voice that can learn to talk in just a few hours with little or no human interference.
