Dueling AIs compete in learning to walk, secretly manipulating images and more at NIPS

The Neural Information Processing Systems conference is a machine learning and computational neuroscience conference held every December.  This year the NIPS conference will include "NIPS Competitions" related to data-driven challenges to different aspects of Neural Information Processing Systems.  The top ranking competitors will win cash prizes.  

One interesting competition, from a lawyer's standpoint, is the Human-Computer Question Answering Competition.  Progress in this area of artificial intelligence and machine learning has the potential to lead to breakthroughs in legal tech.  For instance, this technology could allow a lawyer to rely upon AI for something as simple as a title search or answers to basic legal questions, or something complex like questions about information contained in voluminous discovery responses.  

Machine learning and artificial intelligence represent technologies that will change the practice of law and law firm management in the near future.
