		<description><![CDATA[A computer program that learns to decode language sounds in a similar way to a baby could shed new light on how humans acquire the ability to talk. It casts doubt on the idea that babies are born with an innate understanding of all possible language sounds.<br/><br/>The debate in language acquisition is around how much specific information about language is hard-wired into the brain of the infant, and how much is something that can be explained by relatively general purpose learning systems. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An Intel developer discussed model-based computing, and how this relates to multi-core architectures.<br/><br/>&quot;Like the human brain itself, these intelligent applications lend themselves to parallel processing. 80-cores would change the game in a broader sense than just hardware - it will enable new application possibilities.&quot; ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Computers have composed music before, but those efforts were little more than high-tech mixed tapes. Most computer composers have been taught rules of music through extensive programming or by breaking down works of human musicians and creating new pieces from the parts.<br/><br/>Instead, these Creativity Machine are untrained artificial intelligence computer known as a neural network. The neurons in the computer brain are mathematical entities instead of brain cells. The creative process starts by tweaking the mathematical connections between the neurons. That set off a cascade of calculations that were translated as sounds. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In April, the two-year-old RHIO began offering a clinical decision-support service through ActiveHealth Management, a New York-based company. ActiveHealth's CareEngine technology compares patients' medical, pharmacy and laboratory claims against established standards of care. It then notifies a physician if it finds an opportunity to improve a patient's treatment.<br/><br/>For example, CareEngine can alert physicians to potential adverse drug interactions, overlooked lab tests or the availability of beneficial drugs, according to ActiveHealth. ]
