"I don’t think that any of the human faculties is something inherently inaccessible to computers."

This generation of machine learning offers computers that sense at expert human levels, whether for vision, audio, or text comprehension. These machine can play games, learn and create novel combinations in art, music and science.

Small Satellites
The falling expense and miniaturization of key space components offers new ventures. When flown for specialty missions like disaster relief or when flown as constellations to provide continuous monitoring, the small satellite revolution may promise what the personal computer brought to productivity and access. |
Big Data
While previous generations of space or aerial image analysts had a tight hold on their archives, now new overhead imagery is being generated in the open, shared, and collected at unprecedented volumes--in face, so much overhead imagery now presents the problem that no human can ever scan it without assistance from machine learning. |
New Tasks and Innovative Outcomes
New opportunities exist now for designing never before seen analytical products. Current machine learning not only can find, count or classify parts of an image, they can fuse that knowledge to predict the future when combined with other data sources. These novel products may combine text sources like social media, economic, weather and demographics. |
