You're viewing a single thread.
But not at the expense of safety, right?
Right?
Right:
The system uses machine learning to assign arriving aircraft to the nearest available gate with the shortest taxi time.
Sooooooooo standard tree search that comp science students were doing in the 80s?
But now with AI!
So it uses 20 high power Nvidia GPU's instead of running on a single 5 watt microcontroller!
How about you shut the fuck up and pay me money for this service you don't need, and no-one asked for?
I'd imagine it would be more like CPU scheduling than tree traversal, but according to the article they just do it by hand now.
Same difference- it's a solved optimization problem that does not need "machine learning".
Yeah, but it would be fun to figure out what they actually end up doing vs the marketing hype.
As long as a human being is there to handle exceptions.
