In this June 17, 2013 photo provided by Linda H. Breed, members of the Bunker families, left, and Breed families, right, engage in a friendly tug of war at the base of the monument commemorating the Battle of Bunker Hill in the Charlestown neighborhood of Boston. The 1775 battle, a pivotal rallying point for American colonists trying to overthrow British rule, actually was fought on Breed�s Hill, not Bunker Hill. The Bunker Family Association was celebrating its 100th reunion and invited the Breeds to partake. The National Park Service, which maintains the site, provided a piece of rope from the nearby U.S.S. Constitution. (Linda H. Breed via AP)

In this Wednesday, June 22, 2016, photo, Massachusetts Institute of Technology researcher Carl Vondrick looks through a protective door while standing next to a computer server cluster, right, on the MIT campus, in Cambridge, Mass. MIT says a computer that binge-watched TV shows such as “The Office,” “Big Bang Theory” and “Desperate Housewives” learned how to predict whether the actors were about to hug, kiss, shake hands or slap high-fives, a breakthrough that eventually could help the next generation of artificial intelligence function less clumsily.
